Hartford and Philadelphia fell four games behind league-leading Chicago simply by staying idle this week. Chicago may actually end up being a tough team to beat, simply because they have a month's worth of games against St. Louis, Louisville and Cincinnati coming up, while the east coast teams beat each other up.
