I'm going to be honest and say that I just don't know how to respond to your posts half the time, Leafer. And this is certainly one of those times.

I absolutely love that he didn't mention probably the best playoff performer of them all (and arguably the entire NHL) on his list.

What do you mean? Strome is on his list.

I like to think of myself as one of the most optimistic dudes on here, but this is a bit much for me.

Here's a goofy, fun question ( in the spirit of the OP ) ... what would you rather see happen?
Hawks make the playoffs this year and somehow miraculously win the cup in an unimaginable cinderella run.
or
Hawks miss the playoffs and win the lottery ( getting one of the top three picks again ) and then in say maybe 3 years go on another multi cup run ( let's say they win 2 more with two years in between ).

We are cup bound for sure, can’t wait for Strome to kill it in the playoffs!!!

Well two is better than one so the second option of course. Also according to your timeline, the careers of Toews, Keith and Kane would be winding down so it would be a story book ending.

I was optimistic before the season, but based on what I've seen so far.... you're standing on a toilet, and therefore high on pot.

The Hawks barely missing the playoffs and winning another lottery is a 10,000% better storyline than the Hawks winning the Cup as the second wildcard AINEC.

Here is a more realistic scenario, Hawks make the playoffs at WC1 spot, play Vancouver and Oilers and beat them which is not that out of the realm of imagination, and then who knows they might get lucky in the conference finals but very very not likely. If they make WC2 spot it’s over there is no way they go through Blues, Colorado, etc.

I don’t think they’re a contender but honestly the west is wide open this year. Besides the Knights I don’t think there’s anyone in the Pacific that scares me that much in a 7 game series. If we can slip into the Pacific division in the wildcard we wouldn’t have to play a central team until the WCF. Who knows maybe we have another wild first round and a bunch of contenders get knocked out again.
Again, I don’t think this team is championship caliber or anything but I do think this is a year where a lesser team can go on a run with a hot goaltender. I’m actually really interested to see how the west shakes out this year. Gotta make the playoffs first though.
