SI Preview

The CNN/SI preview is out. It may have been out for awhile, I dunno, so if you have seen this already, just disregard it :)

Nothing earth shattering but if everyone keeps predicting a trip to the Finals, expectations are going to be high this year.

All the teams:

The Power rankings, the Avs should be higher IMO:

I would say the lines they made are pretty damn good and realistic. As for the power rankings, they appear to be based on the playoffs. No team under #15 moved any spot.

I thought it was pretty good, except I believe Marian Hossa has passed up Daniel Alfredsson and is now the go-to-guy.

Let's be honest. When's the last time anyone cared what Sports Illustrated had to say about hockey?

The hockey world should have no time for that magazine.
