A season which started slowly has been begun to pick up pace of late. The Wolves are scoring goals and the forwards have led the way. It's an interesting mix of young and old, with some pretty handy, interchangeable parts. Lets take a look at the first half of the season for the Chicago Wolves' forwards.

Well... Yeah. They are. Because they're good! And they've won for 15 years. But let's starting hating the Red Wings too.
