Ranking (avg) | Team | Delta | Overall Record | Record This Week | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 (2) | Toronto Maple Leafs | 2 | 14-6-0 | 3-0-0 | Great week for the Leafs as they swept the California road trip for the first time since 1995! Dominated a very weak Kings team, outplayed (and outsmarted) a super salty Sharks team, and squeaked out the OT win against the Carlyles despite playing tired vs a rested group. Did I mention they did all this without their top duo of Matthews & Nylander? Quick notes...Tavares is 14th in the league in pts and tied for 6th in goals. He actually has the 3rd lowest shot% among the top 25 goal scorers...Rielly is tied for 6th place overall in pts(still 1st among d-men in pts & goals) and has tied his career high in goals scored (9g) after only 20 games...Marner is tied for 3rd place in pts and leads the league in primary assists with 18 (next closest has 14)...also worth noting is the Leafs depth upping their production. Pre-Matthews injury: Matthews + Marner + JT + Kap = 26 goals--every other F combined = 6 goals. Post-injury: Marner + JT + Kap = 9 goals--every other F combined = 15 goals. |
2 (2.19) | Tampa Bay Lightning | - | 14-5-1 | 2-1-0 | Over two years ago Brayden Point debuted for the Lightning and I don’t think anyone could have predicted at that time that he would become this great of a player this quickly. Unless of course you are Brayden Point himself. The Lightning organization as a whole has been a masterclass of how to develop young forwards. Of the 12 currently rostered forwards only 2 of them are not home grown and when Palat returns that number could potentially reduce to 1 (sorry Cally but Erne deserves to stay on the roster). The problem with developing all this young talent is somewhere down the line we aren’t going to be able to keep them all. It is a good problem to have and is going to guarantee the Lightning’s continued success well into the future. |
3 (2.5) | Nashville Predators | -2 | 14-5-1 | 1-2-1 | Well... I would say "a week like this was bound to happen eventually, because you can only expect outstanding 5v5 play to bail out abysmal special teams play for so long." But in saying that, I wouldn't have expected a week like this to also include losing Arvidsson for 6-8 weeks with a broken thumb and P.K. being placed on IR with an vague lower body injury. Thankfully the week wasn't all doom and gloom and "the sky is felling" hot takes, as it was closed out with a win featuring two whole PPGs and Jarnkrok's first career hatty. Performances like that are what will make or break this team in the coming weeks; if someone stands up and provides the heart that Arvy usually brings the Preds will be fine, but if they don't get that then expect more games like the beginning of the week. |
4 (5.85) | Winnipeg Jets | 1 | 11-5-2 | 1-0-1 | Jets are finally looking like the Jets of last season: dominating puck possession, cycling well, and punishing teams with a killer forecheck and PP. Unfortunately, we're also looking like the Jets of previous seasons: bad stick infractions, Big Buff being called for being Big Buff, and other dumb, needless penalties. A well played Caps game, marred by 2 stupid plays that mercifully only cost a few bucks in the wallet, followed by Hutton turning into a brick wall sums up the rest of the week. Jets finished their homestand 3-0-1, and are headed into a 4 game road trip against (and I quote Beyak here) the "tenacious Canucks, energetic Flames, A strong Wild team, ... and St. Louis". Watch out Nashville, we're back and coming for that top spot |
5 (6.35) | Columbus Blue Jackets | 6 | 12-6-2 | 3-0-0 | Something is definitely going right for the Jackets right now. Since writing about their awful power play a few weeks ago, they've jumped to 22nd on the season (16.7%) and in the month of November they're 12th overall with a 20.7%. Bob and Korpi are playing out of their minds. Scoring is the most spread out of any team in the NHL. They're the only team with 10 players with 10+ points and have another two players at 9 points. Oh, this is all during Parnarin's longest goal drought of his career, too. |
6 (7.31) | Minnesota Wild | -2 | 12-7-2 | 1-3-0 | A very uneven week for Minnesota - a letdown home return against Washington, a stomp against a tired Vancouver team, then back-to-back losses in which they threw away two points against Buffalo and dug an early hole against Chicago from which they battled but could not fully recover. Aside from the Washington game, the team still is still playing at a high level but it's worth monitoring what next week will bring for a team trying to stay in the top half of the toughest division in hockey. |
7 (7.92) | Buffalo Sabres | 6 | 12-6-2 | 3-0-0 | Five game win streak. Everybody kept saying that they would be happy with four points on the road trip; we've got four points already and two games to go! Every single time we go into the third down by a goal or two I write it off as a loss... AND THEN WE WIN! Against a perennial playoff team in Minnesota and a team in Winnipeg that was one win away from the SCF last spring. RJ may get to call Sabres playoff games again sooner than we thought. |
8 (8.35) | Boston Bruins | -2 | 11-6-3 | 1-1-1 | Oh look, more injuries! Chara ran awkwardly into the boards and is out for about a month. John Moore is day-to-day with an LBI. Bergeron is day-to-day with an UBI. Brad Marchand has already been a "healthy scratch" for a game with a League-leading 66PIM. The Bruins have now dressed 12 D-men this season and goaltending is keeping this team afloat in a competitive Atlantic Division. Secondary scoring is starting to pop up and take pressure off the top lineas well. |
9 (9.42) | San Jose Sharks | 3 | 11-7-3 | 2-1-0 | Not a bad week for the Sharks. We had a divisional win against the Flames, comeback against the Preds, loss to the Leafs, and got revenge on the Blues. While our offence is shaping up nicely, defense still needs some work. While there were no overall terrible games this week, defense felt pretty soft against the Preds and especially against the Leafs where the Sharks gave up way too many breakaways and odd man rushes. As soon as the defense tightens up and we get Hertl back in we're fucking set. |
10 (9.81) | Calgary Flames | -3 | 11-8-1 | 1-1-0 | After benching Mike Smith in favour of Big Save Dave, the Flames overpowered the triggered and struggling Oilers on their way to feisty victory on Saturday night. The Flames have a hot goalie, consistently dominant possession and shot metrics, each member of the first line and Matthew Tkachuk all at or over point per game pace, and a D-Core finally living up to expectations. This team is gelling, and are continuing to keep pace at the top of the Pacific Division. |
11 (10.96) | Montreal Canadiens | -2 | 11-6-3 | 2-1-0 | In almost any other division our record would put us in the top two of a division (pending winning the game in hand against the Wild). Instead we currently sit in the final wild card slot. The Atlantic Division is both a terrifying and exciting place to be in this year. |
12 (11.12) | Dallas Stars | -2 | 11-7-2 | 2-1-0 | |
13 (14.04) | Washington Capitals | 3 | 9-7-3 | 2-1-0 | Everyone's ded and it hurts, but thankfully Nicky B, Ovi, and their son Pheonix are holding down the fort. Oh and Wilson. My goodness Wilson. 3 points in 3 games since coming back, career high in ice time (24:24) against Colorado, and most importantly zero (0) questionable hits. He's the real deal bucko, and I'm going to love him flaws and all because that's what family DO. Our game itself hasn't been perfect but it's safe to say it's improved, I think. our next nine (!) games are against easy prey, Montreal maybe aside, so if we're going to seperate ourselves from the glob of mediocrity that is the Metro this is the time. I'm not holding my breath but I'm hopeful, especially if Kuz, Osh, and Holtby come back soon. Go caps y'all. |
14 (14.12) | New York Islanders | 4 | 10-7-2 | 2-1-0 | Anthony Beauvillier finally woke up, but the Islanders bottom 6 took some serious losses with Cizikas, Martin, and Ladd getting hurt. Their goaltending regressed to the mean and will need to improve if they want to be contenders. However, their coaching in what appears to be a week metropolitan division is going to keep them in the hunt for a playoff spot. |
15 (14.15) | Colorado Avalanche | 2 | 10-6-4 | 2-0-1 | 1000 Wins since the Avs have come to Denver!. This week was solid, the team seems to be righting the ship. Avs are playing better and depth players keep getting points. Biggest question this week was Zadorov. He is a great player and I love watching him, but his style unfortunately clashes with regular season hockey. I hope he keeps playing though cause only 1 of Nemeth or Barberio should see ice time. We played three injured teams this week. The Bruins game saw their AHL defense crumble to our offense and our PP clicked. The Stanley Cup Champions proved they were such powering through injuries and with some nice work from Ovi and Backstrom beat us in OT. Against Anaheim we finally broke the OT curse and the RMLine imposed themselves upon the Ducks. |
16 (17.81) | Arizona Coyotes | 2 | 9-9-1 | 1-2-0 | |
17 (18.19) | Vancouver Canucks | -9 | 10-10-2 | 0-4-0 | Snagging a player like Pettersson may accelerate your rebuild a bit, but it certainly doesn’t right the ship overnight. Injuries have exposed the Canucks’ lack of depth over the past 2 weeks, particularly when it comes to skilled wingers. The blue line has actually been surprisingly resilient during this period, but the Canucks just haven’t been able to score enough since the 8 – 5 Boston blowout. Silver lining: players like Hutton and Virtanen that need to take a step forward continue to do so, and Bo Horvat is playing some of the best hockey of his life despite extreme deployment of 22 or 23 minutes a night. If this continues, the Pettersson-Horvat 1-2 punch at center doesn’t seem so bad at all. But until more prospects graduate to the NHL and veterans find a way to stay healthy, the lineup is swiss cheese. The team may not be the total dumpster fire many expected, but November has been a reminder that the losing side of mediocrity doesn’t feel that great, either. |
18 (18.46) | Carolina Hurricanes | 3 | 9-8-3 | 2-1-0 | |
19 (19.81) | Philadelphia Flyers | -4 | 9-9-2 | 0-2-1 | At some point Dave Hakstol needs be fired. The team is absolutely atrocious on defense. Easily the worst penalty kill in the league, almost let in as many goals as the Ottawa Senators and the longer he is coach the more chance he has of ruining all the young players we have on the roster. |
20 (20.38) | New York Rangers | 3 | 10-8-2 | 2-1-0 | |
21 (21.12) | Edmonton Oilers | -1 | 9-10-1 | 1-2-0 | Oilers have now lost 5 of their last 6 games, and they look poised to lose more. TMac looks like he's run out of ideas, and he'll likely be fired soon (hopefuly Chiarelli is next). Talbot is playing the worst hockey of her entire career. We are bad again. I don't have much to say because it's been horrible. The team looked like they were turning a corner beating Montreal, but one bad third period against Calgary later, and I can confirm that we are indeed bad. |
22 (22.15) | Ottawa Senators | 5 | 9-8-3 | 2-0-0 | 1 goal and 2 assists in his first 2 NHL games |
23 (23.08) | Detroit Red Wings | 5 | 9-9-2 | 2-1-0 | This team is winning a lot of close games but the strength of the completion has not been the most challenging in recent games. The upcoming schedule of Boston, Washington, and Buffalo will be really telling how well this team is going to be. Dylan Larkin has become the heart and soul of this team but will need more help going forward if this team wants to compete long term. |
24 (23.65) | Pittsburgh Penguins | -10 | 7-8-3 | 0-3-0 | Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a Penguin etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted seats, The muttering defeats Of restless nights of four-goal PK fells And losses to the Sens and Jersey Devils, Losses that are followed by a tedious argument About which goalie we should have kept; To lead you to an overwhelming question, Oh, do not ask, "Is this it?" Let us just quit turning over the biscuit. --- We have lingered in the chambers of the East, By Senators wrapped in jerseys red and brown, Till power rankers drop us all the way down. |
25 (23.77) | New Jersey Devils | -1 | 8-9-2 | 2-1-1 | Well, it would been nice to squeeze another point or two out of this week, but it didn't happen. The Bad: Cory is still a mystery. 2 goals in 30 seconds, then a shutout the rest of the game. He seems fine to play, but his ability to steal a game is missing. I think the devils need to will him a win, just shove the puck down the other team's throat, give him a bit of confidence back and see what happens. The power play is trash. 4 for 28 in November and 0 for 7 this week, and we need the powerplay to click to turn this week from 2-1-1 to 4-0-0. The Good: 10 goals by 7 skater, including 2 by Zacha, who looks to have gotten the monkey off his back. Kinkaid is still playing great, stonewalling Philly and looking decent in his 3 games. The penalty kill has continued to impress and Pickles got a nice shorty. The Rookies (Seney, Anderson, Yakalev) all looked decent, and I could see Seney sticking in a lineup spot consistently. The Ugly: All this without Nico at 1C and most of it without the Vatman |
26 (25.85) | Florida Panthers | -1 | 7-7-3 | 1-2-0 | The streak was bound to end at some point, just maybe not like that. 11 goals in two games isn't exactly what we had hoped for when we got Lu back and started winning games. The upside is in games played--we're still about 2 or 3 behind, which means this next week will be huge for positioning going forward. |
27 (25.96) | Anaheim Ducks | 2 | 8-9-5 | 1-1-2 | First they push the first unanimous number 1 (in the history of hockey power rankings) team to a shootout. Then they look like a junior team against Vegas who was ranked 26th. Then they look bad and then good and then bad again against the leafs (also a top 3 power ranked team throughout the season, but also now minus Matthews). Full confession I'm about to watch tonight's (Sunday vs. COL) game on dvr, so I cant speak to it, but holy hell are we up and down. Fowler took a puck to the dome and had surgery on Fri (16th). I still have not heard an update on how long he'll be out. But one thing's for sure: For the first time in a long time, Anaheim's defense depth with be seriously tested. |
28 (25.96) | Chicago Blackhawks | 2 | 8-8-5 | 2-0-2 | The Blackhawks ended an 8-game losing streak and are now 2-0-2 in the last 4 games. Thanks mostly to the excellent play of Crawford. Toews also has a 4-game point streak. |
29 (26.04) | St. Louis Blues | -7 | 7-8-3 | 1-2-0 | Everything is fine! It's not like we've been consistently picking up weak wins and then responding with lackadaisical efforts all season long or anything. What team could keep that up for 18 games after doing what we did in the off-season? Surely it would click at some point, right? It's not like we're in the most competitive division in the league or anything, right? Not like we've dropped important games to teams we hope to be fighting for a playoff spot against, right? Surely the coach would've been fired, the captain demoted? The players couldn't just keep saying the same thing after every loss, right? Right? RIGHT?! |
30 (26.88) | Vegas Golden Knights | -4 | 9-11-1 | 2-1-0 | Vegas start has been rocky but this week gave us all hope. The Golden Knights are undefeated this season when Nate Schmidt is in the ice! With his addition, defense should start looking up and committing less mistakes. Another important news is that finally the 1st line clicked again, with all 3 players scoring 1 goal on Sunday's game against the Oilers. |
31 (30.81) | Los Angeles Kings | - | 6-12-1 | 1-2-0 | #lose4hughes Campbell (the lone bright spot in our season) is out for an extended period of time. Welcome to LA Carl Hagelin, who single-handedly doubles the Kings' speed. Good-bye Tanner Pearson. |
Ranking (avg) | Team | Delta | Overall Record | Record This Week | Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 (1.9) | Toronto Maple Leafs | 1 | 8-3-0 | 2-0-0 | Welp. Our Lord and Savior is down and out so please excuse all of Leafs Nation as we collectively panic and offer to sacrifice all of our shoulders for Papi. Kidding aside, this is a big blow to the team and it'll be interesting to see how they adjust. Oddly enough I think the top 2 lines will be fine as Kadri & Tavares are very capable 1Cs. Not so sure about those Lindholm + Gauthier lines though... There's a lot to nitpick in the Leafs' performance this week (and so far this season) but at the end of the day they pulled out two wins against the 2019 Cup Winning JetsTM and improved to 2nd in the league in PTS%. This was the kind of bounce back most fans were hoping for after a couple of disappointing losses. Now despite the somewhat flukey looking win on Saturday night (3 goals in the last ~15 mins with 2 of those 26 seconds apart) they arguably "deserved" both win |
2 (3.41) | Nashville Predators | -1 | 8-3-0 | 1-2-0 | So you know how last week I said this team looks calm, comfortable, and relaxed? Well, this week they took those things a bit too far, and it bit them in the ass. Okay, maybe I'm just still salty from the two goal lead that was pissed away to the Sharks, but this was still not a good week for the Preds. Some bright spots: Forsberg bagged a hat trick, and was tied for league lead in goals for a day. We also got our first taste of overtime this year, with a win to boot! Oh, and the PP doubled their goals for the year! Actually... that sounds more sad than good now that I've typed it out. Hopefully this was just an off week, because the Preds are heading into what looks to be a tough next 5 games. |
3 (3.59) | Tampa Bay Lightning | - | 7-2-1 | 2-1-0 | Anytime a team comes off a long road trip with 7 out of 10 points that usually is considered a good outcome. Unfortunately for the Lightning they lost 2017 Norris winner Hedman & valuable (and underrated) two-way forward in Palat in a tough game against Vegas. It clearly showed on Saturday as the Bolts played their 3rd game in 4 nights and got pummeled by the Yotes that the team needs these two back. Of course Cooper will do things and the players will have more than 24 hours to adjust to life without Hedman. Sidenote: Ryan McDonagh is making a strong case fore best defensive defensemen in the league this season. Shutting down the leagues top line as he did in Colorado was no easy feat |
4 (4.59) | Pittsburgh Penguins | 5 | 6-1-2 | 3-0-0 | Pens fans have started a petition to move the Penguins to the Pacific division. After a solid performance by Matt Murray last week in Toronto, Pittsburgh has continued through Canada, dismantling the Oilers in OT before cruising through Calgary and Vancouver 9-1 and 5-0. Malkin, Crosby, and Kessel are all firing on all cylinders right now. Malkin especially has been terrifying, with 18 points in 9 games and a 7 game point streak. On another note, I've always thought one of the strongest aspects of sports is the way they bring people together. With that in mind, the Penguins will also be holding a collection during Tuesday's game to benefit victims of the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting, as well as a blood drive tomorrow. If you're in the area and want to help, you can find out more here. |
5 (6.45) | Winnipeg Jets | -1 | 7-4-1 | 2-2-0 | As the Jets head to Finland, they do so in the comforting (?) knowledge that they have yet to play a full 60-minute effort in their first 12 games. The result is decent in the standings, but is a real bummer in the eye-test. Laurent Broissoit continues his excellent play, while Morrissey and Connor continue to impress. Patrik Laine is playing on the fourth line, but some argue he'd be in the ECHL if it wasn't his shot -- a shot that has notched only 3 goals so far this season. Let's hope he's out to impress his home country this weekend, or we won't be able to fake winning much longer. |
6 (6.72) | Colorado Avalanche | -1 | 7-3-2 | 2-2-0 | Mikko Rantanen Leads the NHL in Scoring!! He and the rest of the RML (Rocky Mountain Line, Rantanen, Mackinnon, Landeskog) are dominating right now. Landeskog has been on fire scoring goals and Mackinnon is Mackinnon We have problems with our second line. Kerfoot, Jost and Wilson were quiet all week. and Soderberg is once again the bright spot for our Depth. Sakic gave the opportunity and challenged the other guys to try and prove they were second line players in the NHL and they have not so far. Good news Marko Dano is great adding some bite to the line up and a heavy shot. Also Kamenev has looked good so far and can win faceoffs a concept foreign to much of this team. As for the games we had 4 this week. First the top line handled the Flyers. Second we played a playoff like game with the Lightning, but never found the net. Third we Welcomed Duchene back with a four goal third against the Sens and finally we played a tired game against the Wild. |
7 (8.14) | Boston Bruins | -1 | 6-3-2 | 2-1-0 | October Rask is almost over! Yet, the Halakness monster is a top-5 goalie in the League. Don't buy into the media narrative of Halak replacing Rask. Fans should be comfortable with Halak getting more starts and resting Rask more. Not much has changed from this past week. The D-core is still severely injured and the secondary scoring is still nonexistent with Bergeron and Pastrnak combining for 17 of the Bruins' 34 goals. Bruins are beating teams they should and losing to the Habs because I assume the Bruins players stayed up the previous night watching the longest World Series game. When was the last time the Expos won the World Series? Red Sox beat LA and the Power Rankings did too! |
8 (9.76) | Carolina Hurricanes | 5 | 6-4-1 | 2-1-0 | Beating the Red Wings isn't anything to write home about these days, but it was the first game our Special Teams really showed up. We continue to be the most fun team to watch and the Storm Surge is evolving quickly. By the end of the season, I'm sure it'll be a full song and dance number. |
9 (11.38) | Washington Capitals | -1 | 5-3-2 | 2-1-0 | #2 cop on the force Pheonix Copley got his first NHL win in a gimme game that almost got away from us. We leave western Canada with 4 of 6 points, a perfectly fine total that feels less than fine thanks to a lethargic effort in Edmonton. Todd's still jumbling lines so I'll give some ratings. Vrana top line: A+. Burakovsky second line A-. Jaskin fourth line A++. Orpik anywhere in the lineup D-. I'm disappointed that with a new coach and mostly new assistant coaches the staff is still rotating rookies on the third pair and keeping Orpik as the rock there. Caps don't play again until November, during which they play 16 times. This feels like a pivotal month coming up, let's hope the Caps separate from the pack in some (positive) way. |
10 (11.55) | San Jose Sharks | - | 6-3-2 | 2-0-1 | Not a bad week, the Sharks saw a very nice comeback against the Preds and an OT loss to the surprisingly good Canes. Everyone on the team seems to be getting into the flow of things, especially Meier and Hertl who look to be taking big steps this year (hopefully Hertl is ok after leaving the Canes game partway through). Karlsson hasn't been bad with 6 assists in 10 games, but he hasn't been game breaking, hoping he starts developing more chemistry with the team as the season progresses and reaches his full potential. |
11 (12.21) | Minnesota Wild | 6 | 6-2-2 | 2-0-0 | All of a sudden, the Wild have a tidy five-game winning streak. There are still glaring issues - giving up the first goal in 7 of their last 8, taking way too many penalties - but this is proving to be a resilient team that can battle back in games. A very long road trip awaits - seven straight including two west coast trips over a period of 17 days - which will prove a challenging test. Battling back on the road is tougher than at home, and two back-to-backs means that early Vezina favorite Devan Dubnyk will not be able to start them all. Backup Alex Stalock is serviceable at best and if he gets an early hook, that could be all it takes to make this team look as pedestrian as they did to start the season. |
12 (12.24) | Montreal Canadiens | 6 | 6-2-2 | 2-1-0 | First shutout for Price. Domi already with half the number of goals he had last year. Petry pacing the team with 8 assists. Positive Corsi due to up tempo style. 4th line has not fit in well though. |
13 (12.28) | Chicago Blackhawks | -2 | 6-3-3 | 2-1-1 | Patrick Kane (11G, 7A) leads the NHL in goal and is in second for points. He has only been held off the scoresheet in one game this season. Alex DeBrincat (8G, 6A) continues to produce, while playing a larger role. On the other hand, Jonathan Toews (6G, 5A) has cooled off after a strong start and only has 1G, 0A in the last six games. Marcus Kruger leads the team in PIM with 14, not good for a PK specialist. Team defense remains inconsistent, and special teams ranks near the bottom of the league. Perhaps fatigue set in after 7 games in the past 11 days. |
14 (12.9) | Columbus Blue Jackets | - | 6-4-0 | 2-1-0 | The goalie situation in Columbus continues to get weirder. Bob loses vs the Yotes and Korpi wins two with a 4.00 GAA. Both goalies right now are <.900 SVA (.897 for Korpi, .872 for Bob). Jackets are also 4-0-0 in front of Korpi and 2-4-0 for Bob. Is this a picture into suffering defensive play, mindset of the goalies, or is it nothing and we'll return to "normal" play soon? |
15 (13.17) | New Jersey Devils | -3 | 5-2-1 | 1-0-1 | Devils started the season off strong 4-0-0 but followed it up with 2 regulation losses and an overtime loss to the Preds. However, they looked very strong in that OT loss and followed it up with a very strong win against the Panthers. So I couldn't justify putting them any higher but I also felt like they have been playing well so I also couldn't justify moving them lower. |
16 (16.07) | Dallas Stars | 5 | 5-5-0 | 2-1-0 | Bounceback week against weak teams. We'll see if they can sustain and win on the road. |
17 (16.24) | Edmonton Oilers | 8 | 6-3-1 | 3-0-1 | 5-1-1 since the first two losses to start the season. This team is on a roll with great goaltending, McDavid, and Nurse and Klefbom stepping up big time. Last week could easily have been 3-0-0, but went 2-0-1. The week started with Crosby burning Strome in OT, but ended with breaking loss streaks against the Capitals and the Predators in regulation. That's right; we beat last week's power rankings number 1 and last year's Stanley Cup champion. Just a note: the Sunday games are not considered for rankings for those interested. |
18 (16.86) | Buffalo Sabres | 6 | 6-4-1 | 1-0-1 | I'm excited for hockey in Buffalo...ten games into the season? We played great against Montreal, coming back to tie the game three times and then sinking the winner with a minute left in regulation, then we came out and played great (offensively) against Columbus, coming back from a two goal deficit in the third only to lose in OT. We really could work on not allowing odd man rushes every other minute though, that would be cool. Jason Pominville has returned to 2006 form alongside Captain Jack and Jeff Skinner on the top line; those three have combined for 14 points in the last three games. Dahlin is the real deal, Risto looks great, Reino got his first and Okposo is on fire. LETS GO BUFFALO |
19 (19.28) | Arizona Coyotes | 11 | 5-5-0 | 3-0-0 | The supposed story of this team- they just can't bury. In Chicago last week, some puck luck came barreling around the corner as the Coyotes have scored 22 goals in the last 5 games, winning 4 of the last 5, with the most recent win being against Tampa Bay with a whopping 7-1 score, ending one of the NHL's best teams 7 game point streak.The offense seems to be rolling, but the defense and PK have been outstanding, with the Yotes leading the NHL with 5 shorthanded goals, 2nd in the NHL for PK percentage (89.3%), and also leading the NHL with goals allowed, which is a big thanks to Kuemper and Raanta. Not to mention with the return of Alex Galchenyuk (0-2-2, 3GP), and Jakob Chychrun coming off of the shelf soon, this teams future is looking better and better. |
20 (19.72) | Calgary Flames | -5 | 5-5-1 | 0-2-1 | |
21 (21.14) | Vegas Golden Knights | -5 | 5-5-1 | 1-1-1 | The Golden Knights have just finished their five-game homestand 3-1-1. We have seen some great scoring coming from the second and fourth line as Tuch has returned and Ryan Reaves has scored goals in back to back games. Things may be challenging for VGK as they head out onto the road with Pacioretty injured. I would rank them higher due to their homestand but the following losses that Vancouver and Tampa had to the Coyotes keeps me from being able to rank them much higher. While important, the wins over the Ducks, Sabres and Senators aren't impressive. Marchessault got himself back on the board which is a must. The team has had trouble getting goals and their first line has to continue to keep the points up. We have finally seen a goal from a defenseman as well so with that in mind and Karlsson showing life the team is showing some promise but perhaps it won't be until Nate Schmidt is finished serving his 20-game suspension for the team to fully click. |
22 (21.34) | Anaheim Ducks | -15 | 5-5-2 | 0-2-1 | The advanced stats have caught up to Anaheim after a hot start. They haven't changed their play and continue to give up an absurd amount of shots against the saving grace of John Gibson. If it weren't for him the Ducks would be in the basement right now. The bright side is their record is still decent for all the poor play. It will get better but it will take time. They are still running a lot of rookies and a new system for the players and coach. Looks like the rookies on the 10gp option are all going to surpass that mark (Lundestrom is currently in the lineup tonight vs. Sharks, typing this 2 hours before that game). That said, Ducks fans are going to have to be patient with this group. Everyone wanted a rebuild because thats the trendy thing to do these days. Everyone wanted us to play more rookies because that too is the new trend. But when we do, the same people complain about letting 50 SOG a game. Can't win. |
23 (22.66) | New York Islanders | 3 | 5-4-1 | 2-0-1 | The Islanders are showing clear improvement in many facets thanks to Trotz. They are playing way more organized and responsible than they had in the past, but they are still giving up too many shots and need to improve. The Mitch Korn effect is undeniable as their goaltenders are putting up career best stats (small sample size considered). The offense is also starting to pick up and Anders Lee and Josh Bailey are proving they are top players in the league, and not just products of John Tavares. They need Beau and Eberle to play better but hopefully rekindling them with Barzal on one line will do the trick. |
24 (22.72) | Vancouver Canucks | -4 | 6-6-0 | 1-3-0 | Coming off surprisingly strong start that saw them steal several games against top teams, this week the Vancouver Canucks looked a lot more like basement dweller many expected to start the season. Pettersson and Boeser are back, which is swell, but Tanev and Edler are gone. This development doesn’t look good for anyone hoping for the playoffs (yes, those people exist), but it is ultimately good for those who want to see prospect development this year and a high draft pick in June. This is a great time to invest early in team tank memes. Your highlight of the week is the Rogers Arena Beer Boy catching a puck and tossing it to the crowd. |
25 (23.45) | St. Louis Blues | -3 | 3-4-3 | 1-1-1 | Jake Allen died so Mike Yeo could live. Zach Sanford has 6 points (3G/3A) in his first 5 games this season after missing the last season entirely. This is all going about as one could expect out of Blues hockey. Everyone looked better in our game against Chicago, but it's hard not to have a bad taste in your mouth when you lose that way to Columbus. We're going to need a solid winning streak to get us out of the hole we buried ourselves in, but it's certainly doable.. |
26 (25.03) | Ottawa Senators | -3 | 4-4-2 | 0-2-1 | Pretty shit week. Got killed by two good teams in the Bruins and Avalanche, which has shown that this team has absolutely no way to stop top lines. We have one game against Vegas, one game against a pretty hot Coyotes team and two games against a suprisingly good Sabres team next week, so we're going to have to show a pulse for more than half of the game to bounce back. |
27 (25.86) | Philadelphia Flyers | -8 | 4-7-0 | 0-3-0 | This week has been an absolute mess for the flyers (You're welcome, Pens fans). Being outscored 13-2 in the past 3 games, there hasnt been much to like. Many fans are calling for the heads of the front office, others are calling for the players to step up, but most just want them all to get their act together and start bringing some energy and jam to the game. Everyone is frustrated, but no one is doing anything about it. Our 4th line has looked the best over the past 3 games, and Gudas/Sanheim have looked probably the best from the defensive core. Positive news, Sanheim and Hagg have been looking fine recently. Thats pretty much it. We still have Gritty. Gritty help us in these times. |
28 (27.41) | Florida Panthers | - | 2-4-3 | 1-2-0 | Seems like the team's terrible Powerplay has spread to the PK, goaltending is atrocious too. Until Lu comes back, I don't expect much here |
29 (28.38) | New York Rangers | - | 3-7-1 | 1-2-0 | The Rangers went through one of the worst weeks in recent memory. Getting a win against the disappointing Panthers felt nice but we were outshot nearly 2:1 that night. Little did we know that this was a preview of the week to come. We followed that up with a 4-1 loss in Chicago where we got only 1 shot on goal in the third period and 19 the whole night. Ending the week with a pathetic collapse in LA that triggered traumatic memories of 2014 was the icing on the cake. The Rangers have a pretty mediocre roster, and they're still managing to play even worse than that. |
30 (28.76) | Los Angeles Kings | -3 | 3-7-1 | 1-2-0 | Good news: The Kings got Dustin Brown back (who scored), Alec Martinez triggered all NYR fans with a GWG, and the Kings got 2 points. Bad News: Quick is hurt again (different injury), and Stevens' firing has likely been postponed with the win. |
31 (30.79) | Detroit Red Wings | - | 2-7-2 | 1-2-0 |
