Yo, Marian
Our panel is off Thursday. We can give our thanks for that. Play along at redeyechicago.com/5on5.
What are you looking forward to seeing from Marian Hossa?
Jimmy Greenfield: 40 goals and 40 assists, plus 15 and 15 in the playoffs. That’s all.
Tracy Swartz: The length of his contract. Twelve years is a lot of stick action.
Dr. Fantasy: A boost to my fantasy hockey team.
Jen Patterson: A triple axle celebration after he lights the lamp.
Tweeta: How he makes up for having such a girly name. @henjealy
How can things get even better for the Blackhawks?
Jimmy Greenfield: Patrick Kane’s pants can get pulled down, and they can get some real publicity.
Tracy Swartz: Well they won’t now. Thanks for jinxing it. Or maybe Hossa already did that.
Dr. Fantasy: Cristobal Huet keeps playing like Patrick Roy.
Jen Patterson: If Patrick Sharp is named Victoria’s Secret’s Chicago’s sexiest athlete.
Tweeta: They could use a vampire on their team, then they would be unstoppable! @cisforconnie
What do you want to see or hear out of Jay Cutler?
Jimmy Greenfield: Leadership. So far, he’s showed none whatsoever.
Tracy Swartz: A walk of shame back to Colorado. But first, point him in the right direction.
Dr. Fantasy: Cutler to QB rehab. “Hi, my name is Jay Cutler, and I have an interception problem.”
Jen Patterson: Hear no, see no, speak no Cutler.
Tweeta: That this was all a clever rouse setting up the best comeback season in the history of sport. @RayRod17
How could the term Black Friday be applied to Chicago sports?
Jimmy Greenfield: Milton Bradley can be a Cub on a Friday, any Friday.
Tracy Swartz: With a poor performance by Patrick Kane. Or is that just on Halloween?
Dr. Fantasy: Black Friday could be what Lovie calls the practice leading up to the Bears’ next game.
Jen Patterson: Seeing Jim Thome back in black.
Tweeta: It means consumers get a good deal, so how about we make Friday Charlie Weis’ last day?! @JimLecinski
What is the Chicago Invitational Challenge?
Jimmy Greenfield: It’s what they call it when Tracy goes to a speed dating event.
Tracy Swartz: A “challenge” between Northwestern and Notre Dame. They should Axe the e-vite.
Dr. Fantasy: It’s like, where the cool basketball teams get invited to these days, but it’s like, really, really hard.
Jen Patterson: An attempt to hype Northwestern and Notre Dame hoops.
Tweeta: We invite an athlete to join one of our teams and challenge them to have a winning season. @allflashnocash
