The guy should really be a super star. But he's never really had a break out year. One of these years it should happen. Maybe this is the one. If he had more confidence it would have happened by now I thnk. If he was on a better team he would have done it years ago.
Yah they are defiitely good but I guess it depends on what you mean by "their year". If you mean they'll do better than last year, probably, but I don't think a conference title or stanley cup is even close to a reality. You have to stack them up against teams like Detroit, Vancouver, Colorado, Dallas. In the west it's tough to even make the playoffs let alone win a conference.
Ziggy should be considered one of the elite players of the league, but he doesn't seem to get mentioned with the likes of Forsberg and Naslund. Last year he flew out of the gate as well, but just couldn't keep up the pace. Injury may have had a lot to do with that.
There's always somon in the NHL who gets off to a good start. And this year it happens to be Pallfy, i'm ot saying he's a bad player, but he'll have his days.
