now we're coming back...

tues feb 10 - 6-4 win over st. louis
thurs feb 12 - 4-3 win over phoenix
fri feb 13 - 2-1 loss to dallas

we're definitely back on a roll now. good timing too, because the west is still intense:

1.	* San Jose	53	83
2.	* Detroit	56	81
3.	* Calgary	56	71
4.	Chicago	54	70
5.	Dallas	55	61
6.	Columbus	56	61
7.	Anaheim	57	61
8.	Edmonton	55	60
9.	Vancouver	55	60
10.	Minnesota	55	59
11.	Nashville	56	57
12.	Los Angeles	54	56
13.	Phoenix	57	55
14.	St. Louis	55	53
15.	Colorado	56	51

the 10-point difference is still there between 5th and 15th, but 5th through 10th is now only 2 points apart. there is a one-win difference between 5th and 10th. if the playoffs started today, edmonton would barely keep vancouver out of the playoffs (same points and games) with 60 points each. 5th to 7th is all at 61 points, and 10th is at 59. it is still intense.
