[QUOTE=Bunk;6723847]We all agree that for a team to succeed you need a lot of things to go right. Staying healthy, some surprise breakout(s), strong team chemistry, etc.
Of all the possible individual/line success stories this year - what do you think is the most likely?
1. Brodano dominant again.....yes
2. Hanifin-Hamonic 1b pair quality play.....yes
3. Valimaki calder consideration.....can’t wait to see this guy and Andersson
4. Lindholm gels on dominant 1st line....dream come true
5. Chucky closely trails Johnny in points, superstar status.....this can happen.
6. Rittich emerges as heir apparent for starter role.....Gillies will play saviour!!
7. Mangiapane gets 50 pts .....here on Stockton??
8. Jankowski scores 25......Jankowski scores 20 G , 30 Assts
9. Bennett gets 40 pts
10. Lazar gets 35 pts.....don’t see it. Love it if it happened.
11. Backlund wins the Selke.....love to see this happen , his line mates have to be awesome for this to happen.
12. Johnny wins the hart.....just needs to be consistent for now.
13. Peters wins the Jack Adams.....it’d be nice to see
14. Monahan scores 45, challenges Rocket Richard trophy....I see big things for a healthy Monahan this year.
15. Foo 2nd line RW, scores 20......love to see this.
16. Dube makes team, top 9 regular......this would be incredible.
17. Smith wins Vezina.....just win baby and stay healthy.
18. Other!
What would be the most important to team success?
This team needs to play like a team.
I don’t want guys skating away from scrums, I want to see them just skate into the scrum and do nothing but draw penalties and make the opponent PAY Hard by getting scored on with our top 10 POwerplay.
I feel we are going to see career best numbers from half the roster this year.
If we can be disciplined, play full games and just compete night in and night out and build some confidence early this team can do what Vegas did which no one saw coming.
Go Flames Go
