Update on Saturday's Power Game

Well, those sneaky bastards down in Orlando decided that they didn't like losing to us in week one. Normally, I would have just edited my original preview, but this is important enough that I wanted to give it more attention.

Word came out this afternoon that the Preds re-signed Bobby Sippio to the team. With only one day's notice, I don't know if he'll be playing tomorrow night, but if he does, that has the potential to be a game-changer.

Sippio played four years in the NFL for the Lions, Chiefs and Dolphins before bouncing around several good teams in the AFL. Last season, he played 15 games for the Preds and still managed to be their top scoring receiver, with 112 receptions, nearly 1400 yards and 33 touchdowns. Again, I say that this is a game-changer.

The good news is that we shut him down when we played last season, to the tune of 34 yards and no TDs. Also, if he's in, he will only have had a few days at the most to work with the team and get into a groove. Hopefully he'll be off of his game when he comes to Pittsburgh.
