TSN Power Rankings

excerpt:
The 8-2 drubbing at home by Philadelphia skews the early-season rankings for the Canucks, but back-to-back wins over the Oilers shows that there were no long-lasting effects.
Key Injuries: D Sami Salo (wrist).

Well, Scott Cullen, who writes the Power Rankings, took them from #10 to #18...

Other notables:
3. Minnesota
13. Colorado
20. Calgary
28. Edmonton

and:
2. Carolina
26. San Jose
27. Anaheim

Woah - San Jose ranked 26th!

I saw that this morning and I thought what a twit, but he did say that the ranking was based upon the big lost. If you take into account the GAV, a ranking of 18 is really not that bad.

But I cannot figure out why Minny is not #1? Best record and only 4 goals scored against.

I believe the canucks were were ranked outside of a playoff spot last year no? power rankings done up by anal-ists laugh.gif have no real impact on me. But #18 is pretty good if he is going by the 8-2 loss.

Toronto, with a losing record and an ass kicking themselves is higher then us with a winning record. Those rankings are laughable, always have been, always will be.

The rankings get more reliable as the season wears on (but still far from perfect). Right now there's too small a sample for them to mean much.

Actually they don't. They are done in Toronto by Toronto analysts who rarely stay up long enough to watch the West, so screw them for the unreliable twits that they are.

There's nothing more to them than number crunching, so where they're done is irrelevant. The TSN ones, at least, are sheer statistical production. For most of last year, the top ten was dominated by Western teams. Anaheim was near or at the top all year. They're not perfect - nothing based on stats alone could be - but they're not far off.

The only thing more boring and predictable than Toronto-centric hockey media is West Coast whining about Toronto-centric hockey media.
