(CP) - The Nashville Predators and Stanley Cup have rarely been mentioned in the same breath. Well, probably never in their eight-year history.
Year 9 is different.
"I really like where we are," said Predators GM David Poile, who has been there from the very first day. "I like the whole process of how we built this. I just feel like it's our time. I'm fully cognizant that there's other really good teams out there. But if don't have a really good year in terms of the regular season and playoff success, it will be disappointing based on how we feel right now.
"Winning the Cup is certainly a vision that we have."
That's about as bold as the usually reserved Poile can get. But for the veteran GM to even mention "Cup" says it all.
