NHL Power Rankings

Sorry but the Caps are not 13 and the Pens are not 2. I think if you swapped them it would make a ton more sense.

Jackets at 21? Yes. Keep looking past them.

I think Scott Cullen is possessed (and obsessed) regarding possession.

That could explain the Jackets low rankings, they should have held onto the puck longer...

Then Cullen would be happy.

Worth mentioning Columbus allowed a lot of goals in the preseason. Only 1 fewer than the Leafs. They were the lowest-ranked team by goals allowed to have a positive goal differential.

And in fairness the author does mention his concern regarding CBJ's defence, which I don't think is necessarily unwarranted. I think they should be higher, but more by virtue of believing the Bruins, Sharks and Canucks shouldn't be in the top 20.

Oh, so you don't even think we should be considered in the top half of the league?!?! That's bullshit!! Typical Islanders' fan coming down on the Caps becau...

Oh, okay. (awkward silence) Sorry about that.

You need to make that argument without using completely meaningless preseason stats. I stopped reading when I saw them.

Two weeks in a row at #1!! I'm going to the Caps' game the day after Christmas. Very excited about that banner raising ceremony I'm sure is planned for this accomplishment.

The Flames had their seven-game winning streak snapped in a 3-2 loss to the Blues on Saturday.

And because of that dropped 14 spots?


Meanwhile:
The Blue Jackets have won two in a row, including a 3-2 shootout victory over the Flyers on Saturday. Joonas Korpisalo made 30 saves and was 5-for-6 in the shootout to record his first career NHL victory.

This moved them up 5? Beating the Arizona backups and losing a 2-0 lead in the third against the Flyers?




ESPN's regular writers must be on vacation.

 

[KennyBanyeah]

Yeah... The Flames one is particularly hilarious.

Bruins fan doing the Power Rankings this week, still pissed about the Hamilton trade.

They have the Caps at #1 and the Pens at #30 today. That's absurd (even though it is somewhat delightful). I don't think the Pens are a playoff team this season, but to say they are worse than Columbus, Toronto, or Anaheim right now is absolute poppycock.

Calgary was ranked #22, #9, and #23 over the last three weeks. Ridiculous swings.

They just have no consistency to these things. The rankings should be a more telling story of the teams relative to when things return to the norm. Instead they swing wildly based on the most recent data. Let's just let Skip Bayless start picking them and call them what they are.

Otherwise, how do you put Florida at #3 and Montreal at #17? Pretty sure somebody got drunk and just started hitting buttons.
