The previews are coming! The previews are coming!

Hope springs eternal in the hockey world around this time of year, and the Columbus Blue Jackets fan base is right in the mix.  Season previews of all shapes and sizes are popping up from bloggers and "mainstream" media alike.  In case "Time to step up" hasn't satisfied you, check out these links for some additional insights on the Boys in Union Blue:

• The Cannon: "Tweet-views" (140 character season previews) for the offense, defense, goalies, coaches and front office.  (A preview in only 140 characters.  What in the world was I thinking?)  They also did an overall season preview, complete with some predictions.
• The Green Seat View: CBJ fortune cookies offering sage wisdom and predictions on the upcoming season.  No, you can't eat the cookies.  
• Fox Sports Ohio (Eric Smith, formerly of HockeyBuzz): A five-part season preview.  (Links to parts Mason, Commodore, Brassard, Klesla, five)
• Puck-Rakers: The best case scenario for the team for the upcoming season, and the worst.  

Some of these multi-part previews are works in progress, so I'll update this posting with links as they pop up.

And here are some more standard season previews:

• Red Light District
• TSN
• The Hockey News
• The Bleacher Report
• The Fourth Period (written by Full Mental Jackets' Greg May, no less!)
• Scotty Hockey (a NY Rangers blog)
• Yahoo! Sports - Puck Daddy
• FanHouse

As for "Time to step up," I hope to get another blue-liner or two in this week but have to prep for an intensive weekend of school.  Next week should be a tad better.  I'm still hoping to be done with my previews by the time training camp starts...cross your fingers!
