Id cream my pants if the Jackets pulled out a winning season. With hitchcock at the helm they were above .500. So with that being said Im optomistic.
If they don't have any major injuries ( mainly Rick Nash ) , I think they have a chance to have a winning record . They need all their scorers to produce like Nash , Modin , Zherdev and Fedorov . And they need consistent goaltending from Leclaire and Norrena .
