Please clarify by providing the pronunciation of your name.

Is it:
A) HEY-Zooos
B) GEE-zus

Just want to be clear on who you REALLY are

I'm a Hawks fan, and I think its ludicrous that he has them 1st in the central. Defenses and goaltender is solid. The offense? far from it. It could easily be a disaster in the making. They should be 3rd or 4th at best in the central

you don't have confidence in 4 rookie fwds and Richard panik on your 1st line??

Plus, how old is Hossa now? 38?

He will be in January. Not sure how much he has left.

The Hawks will still have a more potent offensive attack than the Wild or Red Wings, thats for sure.

And for all those that talk about Panik being a weak link at winger in the Hawks top 6, answer me this, how many teams have a better trio of wingers than Kane, Panarin, and Hossa? (nobody)

So, go ahead and mock Panik being in the top 6 all you like, you're only desperately reaching for flaws. There are far worse things than having Panik as your 4th best top 6 winger when the other 3 are Kane, Panarin, and Hossa.

If the Hawks can get a couple kids to work on in the bottom 6 to go along with a move at the TDL they'll be in good shape going into the playoffs. That's the real issue, overall forward depth. Their top 6 is fine. Panarin-AA-Kane, Panik-Toews-Hossa is very, very solid.

"real" because they align with your views?

Just curious how one set of predictions is above another set of predictions.

I am a Jets fan and I do not think the Jets will finish 3rd in the Central. They have lots of rookies and I look at this year being full of growing pains. I think they will be a bubble at team at best!

What do you think Mr. Eklund, is Price calling in sick, a hoax on his part to get the coach fired sooner rather then later?

If the habs go 0-10, or 1-9(No one should lose to Buffalo even on purpose), will MT&MB be gone?

I'm going Nash-Vegas in the Central. Hawks could be one trade away from being a dominant force in the division but until that happens, way too many question marks.

Wow. Predicting the Hawks to be better than the Red Wings. Impressive measuring stick there.

Hossa is still an excellent player. I just wonder if he can stay healthy given his age and the minutes Quennville plays him.

High ankle sprain is a minimum 8 weeks and can linger for four to five months, trust me as I had one and it takes more than 8 weeks to return to full strength.

yeah but you didn't have top notch medical staff helping you rehab every day and the whole day to yourself to do rehab exercises did you?

Funnier if it was Captain Connor Muhammad "The Prophet" McDavid
