A Little Something Called "Premature Evaluation"

Television personallity James Duthie over at TSN.ca just posted a great article about something he calls "Premature Evaluation", the embarassing medical condition in which fans jump to irrational conclusions about their sports team for better or for worse.

If you are suffering from PE, you will probably have come to the following conclusions recently:

--Colorado and Phoenix are unstoppable and will surely meet in the Western Conference Final.

--San Jose and Detroit suck, are likely headed for the draft lottery, and are frantically sending their scouts to Windsor to watch Taylor Hall.

--Martin Brodeur and Roberto Luongo are stiffs, and if Team Canada selects them, they will lose 9-3 to Switzerland.

--The much-hyped Leafs defense couldn't stop that skating chimp from the MVP movies. Even if he was tranquilized.

--Alexander Ovechkin is going to score 90 goals, and 150 points. By Christmas.

Reading the above statements, you might be telling yourself, what the hell? That's the PE. We, as fans, don't always think rationally while we are having a PE moment.
