Good to see Jack finishing. If he's on fire offensively this year, the Wizards are going to shine.

We're going to need our forwards to be on fire this season for the Wizards to shine. Jack chipping in 3-4 would be nice, but it's up top that needs to be on fire.

I think that's a given, especially after 2008. Obviously our forwards have to score, but Jack had 3 goals and 7 assists last year. On fire to me meant 6-8 goals and at least a similar number of assists.

I felt Jack struggled for a few years getting his shots on frame. If he's hitting on all cylinders, teams are going to have to account for him, which should give the rest of the team better opportunities.

Jack "Jalisco" Jewsbury!

Looks like Conrad did a great job of locking down the back 40 :)
