Re: Out in cold in Adams race  

	I believe that Hartford is on the verge of making the playoffs but
	won't for another year or so.  They are getting much better but I don't 
	think they can keep up with their Adams Division opponents.  I'd like 
	to see Hartford do better....that would make the Adams Div even more
	interesting than ever before.  
	
	I think Buffalo will start playing well enough to make the playoffs.

	As for the B's.  

	Their problem will be Defense.  What was once in my opinion the best
	defensive team in the league has not performed up to expectations this 
	year.  Kluzak (before his shoulder seperation) has been shuffled from
	defense to wing.  Thelvin is out.   Curran has just broken his leg.
	Thelin has been in and out too.  The trade for Wade Campbell was
	probably a good one as far as the defense is concerned.  

	Their offense is starting to shape up with the return of Simmer.
	
	As for Quebec and Montreal....This may be the battle for 1st
	place in the Adams Div.  
 
Go B's,
Bob
