Preds first 30 goal Scorer is...

[Basher]

Scotty Hartnell

Yes, you heard me, Scott Hartnell. He is already to the half way point of reaching his career goal total (14), and is only 19 games into the season. I see no reason that Scott cannot keep up this pace, and he looks like he is finding out that the puck goes in when he is around the net. His confidence is going up, and looks like he is turning out to be a 1st rounder after all. Let's just hope that he can stay on a hot line, and maybe he'll rub off on Leggy a little bit, and get him fired up.

AMEN - he'll score a few pretty goals, a few garbage goals, a few PP goals and it will add up to about (or aboat for any Canadians out there) 32ish goals this season.

I dont think he will hit 30 this season, but I certainly expect him to in the next several years. He will probably hit about 20 - 25 goals, if we are lucky , this season.

he scored 25 goals in '00-'01, and 15 goals '98-'99 and in '02-'03

I've always thought that Hartnell had some goal scoring ability, but I think that 30 goals is his max. I don't think he will get it this year. Around 20 would be my guess. A lot of his production will depend on ice time. He hasn't ben used in a primary offensive role this season until the last couple of games.

It's amazing what a Jiri Fischer fist to the face will do to a kid.

It knocked the sense into him that he had lost against Low...
