The Nashville Predators were officially named into the NHL in May of 1998. They played their first game on Oct. 10th, 1998 in front of a sellout crowd of 17,298. On August 5th, 2005 the Predators lured NHL superstar Paul Kariya to the club and, to top it all off, they're 4th in the Western Conference standings with a 43-24-8 record. You'd think the team would be taken seriously by now.
Now I know Nashville, Tennessee isn't exactly a hockey hotbed, but I'm sure they have some die-hard hockey fans who just might be fond of correct information.
The Tennessean newspaper Web site, which is self-proclaimed as "Middle Tennessee's #1 Online News Source," had a little trouble with its hockey reporting.
When writing about Brendan Witt's one-game suspension, they stumbled over the spelling of Blue Jackets player David Vyborny's name. Four different ways. Four different times. Seriously. (As of this blog posting, most of the mispellings had been corrected, but one remained).
Jaspers' Rink blog points out all the different ways you can apparently spell Vyborny in single article with some red ink. Ouch!
