No way...can't happen

A major media outlet has actually written an appranetly objective and informative pre-season preview about the Preds.

They ask legitamate questions about depth and experience, acknowledge some legitamate talent in Tootoo, upshall, Vokoun, and a few others.

They identify some things that need to go right, and acknowledge that with those breaks the team could be a contender.

They even offer a few decently thought out possible line combinations.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/hockey/nhl/specials/preview/2003/09/18/preview_predators/ is SI.com's preseason preview.

Hurry, visit now before they realize their mistake.

Good Lord, what got into them?! They actually seem to know our team, okay 'fess up someone here wrote that up for them!

A few errors here and there (Skrastins was traded to Colorado...), but overall a good article

And to think I held SI in such contempt. They seem in this article to know more about our team than any other major media so far. Wow, I might have to bookmark their site, now...

to his credit, jon dolezar wrote SEVERAL gleaming articles about the Predators last year, especially during our memorable "playoff push." He genuinely seems to have faith in us where most others don't.

How Eaton is considered an extra defenseman is beyond me.

That being said, Dolezar writes a good one. It's honest and forthright. Can't ask for much more than that.

i noticed that as well....schnabel and allison making the team....eaton and hamhuis not? interesting.

SI covers hockey better than ESPN does....at least website was. They had a pretty up to date power-ranking weekly article last season....unlike our famous espn buddies :D
