If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 25

By ⋅ April 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Can you believe the season ends this Sunday, and you won’t see this article again until October? Can you believe the Capital have clinched the President’s Trophy, and when they did so, only one other team had even clinched a division? After Tuesday, the West is all wrapped up in terms of the elite eight, [...]

There’s less than two weeks left in the schedule, and we’re all getting super excited with the playoff picture starting to shape up. But still, there’s plenty that could change in a whim. Even with the Capitals clinching the East (and with two wins and six points over San Jose) and the magic number for [...]

With about 10 games and less than three weeks left on the schedule, it’s getting desperate for many teams. There have been several surprises this season, especially the Coyotes, who were even in second place in the West Monday, tied with Chicago with 97 points. The Devils and Penguins are fighting over their division, while [...]

We’re rapidly approaching the end of the season, with less than 15 games left now. And the race is still on. Boston has a three-point cushion and a game in hand over the Rangers for the last spot in the East, Detroit just has three points over Calgary out West, and thanks to an embarrassing [...]

With the Olympic break over and the home stretch to the playoffs in full swing, Washington has clinched a playoff spot (by clinching their division), and has claimed the top spot on our rankings (by taking down Chicago 4-3). But with much of our usual experts sidelined by depression over the U.S. losing to Canada [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 21

We’re back, after the first week of action following the Olympic break. We’ve seen Pittsburgh open up a nice-sized lead over New Jersey in the Atlantic Division. Washington is still looking like the President’s Trophy winner, but Chicago is closing the gap on San Jose for the top spot in the West. The East’s bracket [...]

With the Olympic Break setting in, and Ryan Miller having looked pretty good against Switzerland (Go USA! Boo Federer!), plenty of NHL players are getting a much needed rest before play resumes, while others are getting a chance to test their mettle in the international arena. Even with a shortened week, we’ve seen plenty of [...]

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone. This time around, three experts have shown their love for their favorite hockey teams, as well as predicted who will win Men’s Olympic gold at ice hockey, and who will lose miserably. Too bad the Canadian women weren’t eligible for picks, or their 18-0 defeat of Slovakia Saturday would have turned [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 19

By ⋅ February 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, we’ve seen plenty of surprises. The Lightning have shot up the rankings, as have the Bruins, after favoring Tuukka Rask over their dead-weight Thomas. Buffalo is maintaining their division lead, but only by tiebreakers after Ottawa has kept surging forward. Speaking of which, the West’s #3 seed has a worse record than [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 18

By ⋅ February 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s been plenty of movement over the past week, particularly thanks to a jam-packed Eastern Conference. Teams jumping five spots after one game is becoming a commonplace event, which makes them slide out of the picture just as quickly as they entered it. It’s that tumultuousness that’s the reason for the Bruins, despite their very [...]

It’s time, once again, for the SoB NHL power rankings. Our four experts have selected their picks, in addition to predictions for who will finish the season with the NHL’s best and worst records.

With around 30 games left to go in the season, much is still up in the air. The Lightning, #13 in the East, are only three points out of the playoffs. The Blues, #13 in the West, are only five out. Four East teams are tied for #6 through #9. The Hurricanes are no longer [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 16

By ⋅ January 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In the past week, the Devils have amassed a rare three-game losing streak, the Sabres are making their push, and the Bruins are failing miserably. The West has seen the Blackhawks taking another lead over the Sharks, whereas the Flames have lost four in a row and are in danger of losing their spot. In [...]

With another two weeks gone, it’s time for SoB’s third NHL power rankings. Our usual four experts selected their picks, and three also picked teams that, by next time, will have shot up the NHL standings and fallen from grace. For the second time in a row, two teams dropped from the rankings. The race [...]
