ESPN Power Rankings

by Michelle Finch

ESPN’s Power Rankings are out. Some notes:

  • I love parity. The Canes, the Habs and the Islanders all in the top 10. The Flyers shining again after such a dismal season. Columbus finally making some noise!
  • Conversely, seeing the Devils scraping the bottom alongside the Coyotes is something I will never get used to.
  • Detroit and Ottawa at the top? Ho hum.
  • Who knew the Habs had the league’s best power play?
  • Who knew the Blue Jackets had the best PK?
  • (Best Seinfeld voice) And what’s the deal with the Sharks?
  • Did I just read the phrase “Central heavyweights Detroit, St. Louis and Columbus.” Seriously, I love parity.
  • Maybe I’m crazy, but did anyone really think the returns of Mark Bell and Kyle Wellwood was really going to help the Leafs that much?
