They do? I haven't heard that sentiment in a while. I saw some comments, over in the Hawks thread I think, about people saying the Hawks wouldn't have been able to go on such a run if they were in the east. I know it was only one game, but I was really underwhelmed by both Toronto and Montreal, both of whom are pretty far up the standings. I think part of that is that everybody wants to have their team be the ones that end the streak, and of course, the east teams aren't going to get that opportunity. That makes sense. The insecure, lifelong midwesterner in me says it's because the focus of attention isn't on them.
