How do you thin Hossa will do for the wings?

Question

And how will the penguins do this season

Answer 1

i think he will do better than he did with Atlanta but not better than with the Pens because he will have more skilled teamates so he might be on the second or 3rd line compared to zetty and holstrom and dastyuk

Answer 2

Playing wise, I'm sure he will be great and give them the best two way line in the league.  Statistic wise him, Datsyuk and Zett may very well keep each others stats down...unless the team sets a record for points scored or they throw him on the second line.

Answer 3

Not as good as he did with the Penguins. Yes the red wings are the defending champs, but think about what he passed up. He was on the line with the best player in the world in sidney crosby.  He will have a good season, but dont expect anything great.

Edit:  @ Dewman: Hossa won't be playing on the line with Zetterberg and Datsyuk idiot. Hossa will most likely be playing on the 2nd or 3rd line.

Answer 4

Joe L... You are a r****d.  Saying Pittsburgh has more guns is the one of the dumbest things I've ever heard.  Crosby and Malkin are the Pens only guns.  They are better now that they got Fedotenko and Satan, but it still doesn't compare to Detroit.  Wings won't be done in a few years either... people have said that since 1997.  Now 11 years later they are still going strong with no end in sight.  Detroit will be far better than Pittsburgh next year.  Montreal will be the team to beat in the East and the Pens may have a shot for a division title, but only because the other teams suck.

Hossa will do fine.  I see him putting up numbers like Brendan Shanahan did when he was in Detroit.  He probably won't score 100 points because of the depth Detroit has, but who knows.  I see him playing with Pavel Datsyuk because of his speed.  Oh... RG5... "Hossa passed up playing with the best player in the world"????  Seems to me he decided to play with the TWO BEST players in the world.  If I had to choose who I wanted my centerman to be, Crosby or Datsyuk... No question I want Datsyuk.  That way I don't have to listen to a whiner, watch a diver.  Also I know if I turn the puck over, that Pavs has my back because he can play defense.

Oh, and yeah Detroit DOES have a better chance than Pittsburgh to win the Cup next year.  Hello... Detroit will be the same team +Hossa and Conklin and minus Drake and Hasek.  Pittsburgh will be minus Hossa, Malone, Roberts, Hall, Conklin (carried them when Fleury was hurt), Ruutu, and Laraque.  Not to mention they will really begin to feel the effect of losing Christensen and Armstrong.  Then they added Satan and Fedotenko.  Hmmm, Pittsburgh a better chance than Detroit???  Not in this world.

Answer 5

He'll be sorry....enough said. :)

Answer 6

He will be awful! The Wings are done! I bet they finish last and pick up Tavares... Hossa wont help them at all.

*Sarcasm*

Answer 7

He will do great for the team, but not break any personal records.  He will most likely play on line 2 with Franzen and Filppula.  And of course he will be on the power play.  He will help the Wings repeat without a doubt.

Answer 8

Hossa is r****d.  He decided to play in Detroit for 1 year, making just a couple hundred thousand more, thinking that Detroit has a better chance at winning than Pittsburg. What a r****d.  I doubt Detroit will win the Cup next year.  And in a few years Detroit will be finished.  The pens have way more young guns.

BTW I hate the Pens...Go Sens Go!!
