Soupy hopes you'll forget him
A friend emailed me a couple stories about Brian Campbell's return to San Jose with the Blackhawks Wednesday night and I was struck by his quote in this Chicago Sun-Times story from last week about meeting his former teams: ''Buffalo will be a little tougher. I'm glad we're not going there this year, and hopefully a year from now if we go there, they won't know who I am. That'd be fine by me.''
On the day he was traded to San Jose in February, you may remember Campbell's message to the fans here was "Please don't boo me." The Sabres meet the Hawks Jan. 14 in the United Center but Campbell and Patrick Kane don't come to town this year.
My guess is Campbell will get some boos here but nothing like Daniel Briere gets for signing with the hated Flyers. Campbell did get the Briere/Zdeno Chara treatment Wednesday in San Jose.
Stay with the blog for live updates to come on tonight's Sabres-Penguins game.
