There's this too so it looks like Z isn't back.
Smith is starting, whee.
This thread is...
Anna Kendrick approved!
If we lose, I'm blaming rt.
Can Hanzal hit 60+ points this year and stay healthy ? With a healthy dose of hits
Hit 60+ points this year? Possibly. Wouldn't count on it.
Stay healthy? As in, miss no more than maybe 5 games due to injury?
Sounds about right. The loss, if not the scoreline.This should be a good test to see where we're really at. Winning those last two games was great, but both of those teams have been garbage so far. Then again we couldn't even beat garbage teams last year so it's an improvement. I think we fall back to earth, the ducks are really good, 4 1 ducks.

When does the competition get easier?
How have the Ducks looked though? They only have 1 goal right now.
Precisely. They have made changes during the offseason with the intent of having two strong top lines, splitting up Getzlaf and Perry and thus far it's not come together. Many analysts picked them to go all the way, which I've questioned, as it appears they are not as sound...... but it's early.
It's still way too early to tell though. I mean, look at us. As awesome as it is to have 2 wins to start the season, Smith stood on his head. But hopefully their struggles continue while our fortunes continue as well.

Some veteran teams take 10-15 games to get it going. It is a long season and guys are just not super motivated yet. Hard to say with Pitt/L.A./Ducks, to early to tell if they struggle all year or vets just not up to speed yet. We could be benefiting from the slow start of veteran teams versus all out young guys giving 100% and just being jacked to be in the NHL/ and Smith trying to redeem himself.
Let's enjoy the ride, might be short....
November 12th we play the Oilers. That will come in no time!
