Thread: ESPN NHL Power Rankings Week 1

Well, I, for one, am going to enjoy it while it lasts! I pretty much agree with the rankings up to # 20, but I think the Oilers should be up higher, and, of course, the Ducks should be lower. Really, I would agree with the whole list if they just flipped the Oilers and Ducks rankings.

We're #1! 'nuff said.

ESPN is down with hockey right now because they can cover all the current games and still have time for covering all of their preferred sports. Of course once there actually is NHL games again, you can forget that.

Does ESPN even know that there's no hockey? I mean, it's not like they watch it when they report on it...

No. Just like the rest of the United States.

But I thought the Kings had it easy in the playoffs?

"The Presidents' Trophy winners were punted by the Kings in the first round last spring, "

This makes me smile.

Total waste of time, but let's face it, after the play offs and SCF games, even my friends who are non King's fans admitted to me that with that line up playing the same way they would have to rank the Kings number 1....Except my friends who are Ducks fans, but they are delusional so they don't count.
