Brian Campbell Looking For Consistency

from Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily-Herald,
“At the end of the year in the playoffs, I thought I had a really good run so that’s something I’m going to draw off of. That’s the way I can play and know how to play. There were ups and downs, but I did a lot of good things, too. Was it my best year? No, I wouldn’t say that, but it’s a learning experience as well.”
Being more consistent, especially in his own end, starts with skating for Campbell.
“I wasn’t moving my feet at some times last year and that just makes the biggest difference for me,” Campbell said. “I’ve always wanted to be a consistent player and felt I did that in the past. There were a few too many peaks and valleys.”
Campbell found himself trying to do too much on occasion last season to live up to his contract, which is no longer the biggest on the Hawks. Marian Hossa’s 12-year, $62.8 million deal now sits at No. 1.

Amen, HD. Although, I guess there is one more thing we need to know about Mr. Overpaid Loser…

Really, Brian? I’m thinking that not moving your feet pretty much makes “the biggest difference” for every hockey player. But, hey, I’m sure you’ll have all of that sorted out this year (you know, the moving-your-feet thing) now that Hossa is paid more than you are.
Is this guy was any dumber, he’d be a blond instead of a redhead.
