wings fan 4 life 0 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I was just looking at Hossa's stats and he has 299 goals. This means his first goal donning the winged wheel will be his 300! Just a random observation. Carry on! Edited July 18, 2008 by wings fan 4 life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) I heard he came here because he felt that we gave him the best chance to score his 300th career goal the quickest and easiest! No, but seriously, this is a pretty cool fact that many had not thought about, and it'll be cool when he scores it! Hopefully he can hit 400 in a winged wheel, meaning we somehow can re-sign him after the season along with Zetterberg and Franzen. Or, maybe he'll score 101 goals this season! Haha.

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 The question is not will Hossa get his first goal in his first game, but how many players TO will trade before the game is over as a result of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 I bet he doesn't score his first goal til Game 6. Through the first 5 games, he'll have 14 assists. And the NHL media will call him a bust so far in a Wings uniform. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 Same thing happened with Fedorov. Wasn't as cool when he scored #400 with the Ducks. Strange that these things happen riiight before a milestone. Maybe to Wings fans it wasnt due to the sour attitude about his departure and the fact that he had scored the majority of those 400 with one team. He also scored it as a Duck when they had yet to have any measurable success (or fanbase) for that matter. It'll be all fanfare for Hossa. The excitement of scoring his 300 on a team that is marked by historical accomplishments and Hall of Fame players should be a big deal... ..Especially since he'll be the only 300 goal scorer on the entire Red Wings squad.

YoungGuns1340 1 Report post Posted July 18, 2008 As a side-note, Hossa could move into the Top 25 Active Goal scorers list, if he passes Martin Gelinas (309) and Bobby Holik (322). My guess is he'd need about 35 goals to do that, which is very doable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was trying to say that it's awesome when they do it on the way in -- and isn't when they do it on the way out. It's hilarious that Hossa, at 300 goals, will be the top goal scorer. Wasn't all that long ago when we had 3 guys with double, and another with almost a hundred more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
