The Hawks are well on their way towards being a great regular season team provided they can pick up a few of the missing pieces before reaching the mid-season mark. Patrick Kane continues to be an offensive force with 6 pts in 4 games playing at Center, winning 56.5% of his faceoffs, and he has not hurt his team defensively.
Corey Crawford has also played well thus far as he shakes off the last bit of rust that showed in the preseason, particularly against Boston this past Saturday night where he stopped 35 of 37 shots by the defending Stanley Cup Champions. If he maintains this consistency between the pipes, he will give the Hawks a chance to win almost every night he starts.

I wonder when Hossa will get back to 75 points a season, its only a matter of time. Is this year his year?
Based on his injury history the last few years and the fact that he's already having some minor issues 4 games into the season, I don't think this is his year and if he makes it back to 75 pts, he's going to have to change him game a little or play with the right linemates, i.e. a natural center and a power forward winger
