Honorable Mention / Make your case for...

EAST: PIT 6-3-2, PHI 6-4-2, WPG 7-3-2, MTL 6-4, TB 6-5...

WEST: STL 8-3-0 (best win: OT decision against PIT), PHX, 7-2-2 (best win @STL), LA 7-3-1 (Ws: PHX (OT), CBJ (SO), and WSH; but lost to CGY twice.)

[TorontoGM]

I took a page out of Parker's book and voted for myself.

[Montreal Canadiens]

Nashville. 5 of those 8 wins were legit.

[Devils_GM]

Yeah voted for myself, think I actually deserve it though as well, beat 2 of the top 5 teams in the league without Kovalchuk or Fowler on a not very deep team. I am impressed.

[Calgary.Flames]

San Jose is the only team that I've lost to in the last 14 outings.
My team sure deserves some praises but I'm voting SJ anyway.

[Virtual Jarmo]

Gotta go with Calgary here. He's done the most to help his team in terms of transactions. They paid off in January.

[SharksGM]

Voted for Toronna for exceeding expectations the most.

[MinnesotaGM]

Calgary

[SharksGM]

Nashville. 5 of those 8 wins were legit.

East coast bias spotted.

East coast bias spotted.

Heh? Nashville is a West team....

You cited wins against Eastern teams as being legitimate, unlike wins against illegitimate Western teams (who by the way are way better your conference sucks sorry).

[Montreal Canadiens]

New Jersey Devils / Raymond / 7-3-1 / Ws: @PIT, @EDM, @WPG (SO) BOS, PHI (OT)

Toronto Maple Leafs / Mike / 7-3-1 / Ws: TB, WPG, BUF (SO), NYR

Washington Capitals / Tim / 7-3-1 / Ws: CGY, TB, CAR, @MTL, @PIT (OT), BOS

San Jose Sharks / Dan / 9-4-0 / Ws: CBJ, WSH, @CHI, CGY (SO), @EDM, @CGY

Calgary Flames / Julien / 7-3-1 / Ws: @NSH, NJ, LA, @LA, @EDM (SO)

Nashville Predators / Sebastien / 8-3-1 / Ws: CAR, PHI, @NYR, CHI, CBJ (SO)

Well. I liked NJ's record, beat teams like PIT, WPG, BOS, PHI (4 legit W's). TOR had 2 legit W's (WPG + NYR). WSH had 3.5 legit wins (CGY .5 + PIT + CAR + BOS). You beat CBJ, WSH, for legit wins. I still firmly believe CGY is way overforming and overrated and will collapse come playoff time (just my opinion) so I credited you beating some stiff competition but CGY twice and EDM once made me vote for NSH considering they are barely a .500 team and beat two top 10 teams. Also had 2nd highest W total of the month with one less loss than you.

[Calgary.Flames]

Would you please elaborate on...

[SharksGM]

Well see your team sucks for dominating your division, whereas Philly's totally a legit contender what with being a whopping half game ahead of 9th place.

[jamesredwings]

I beat Columbus and Phoenix (or was it in feb?) with my backup goaltender and I didn't even vote for me!

Notice none of these clubs beat Detroit....

[Montreal Canadiens]

Well....your top line is Dustin Boyd-Bryan Little-Luca Caputi....

With a defense not having anybody over 70 OF and only guy over 80 DEF. 3 of them should be healthy scratches (Vlasic, Letand, Lashoff). On top of that you don't have an 80 OF guy, Bobby Ryan is playing out of his mind as is Kiprusoff.

I just don't think it lasts is all. It's not a personal attack or anything, I just think your team is playing well above where they should be.

My team does suck Dan, I don't know what you're arguing?

[Virtual Jarmo]

Vlasic and his 88 CON should be scratched? Seriously?

What should I be doing with Grossman, Salei, and when I used to have Morrisonn? Those guys don't seem to be hurting me.

[Montreal Canadiens]

So if a guy is 50/60 with 90 CON you're going to play him? His attributes are all average besides that. I don't think he'd play on your team (besides maybe over Salei), he wouldn't play on mine either. He Don't see anything wrong with Grossman and Salei as a 6th D is completely alright. He'd be the 6th D on WPG/PIT/PHO/LA/SJ. I guess Vlasic is alright as a-6th guy but being in the top 4 is surprising.

[Virtual Jarmo]

So if a guy is 50/60 with 90 CON you're going to play him?

In what way is that relevant? Vlasic is 64 OF and 73 DF. Light years from 50 and 60. I don't see how that illustrates your point at all.

I'd rather have 73 DF and 88 CON than 78 DF and 65 CON.

I think Vlasic's a solid 2nd pairing guy. Obviously working for Calgary.

[SharksGM]

Vlasic played pretty well for me. I only traded him because of a budget crunch.

My team does suck Dan, I don't know what you're arguing?

I dunno, do you maybe have an explanation for why Philly's so much more legit of a team than Calgary or Chicago?

[Calgary.Flames]

Well without Phaneuf it's a known fact that my defense is kinda weak.
But still I'm spending only 11 000 000$ on my current starting 6 compared to your 22 000 000$ invested in yours.
I guess you get for what you pay for.

On the other hand, I benefit from a great veteran goaltender and a well balanced, physical and yet skilled group of forwards.

[GoJetsGo]

This month's selection was very close as all nominees received at least two votes. With eighteen votes cast, I've decided to award a split GM of the month to Calgary and Nashville leading the way with four each.

[NashvilleGM]

Thanks guys, I missed the vote haha...
