It’s almost playoff time, and two of our experts have ranked the end-of-season Power Rankings, along with choices for the biggest playoff upset. The Blackhawks are pushing, but the Capitals have finished #1 on our rankings for the fifth straight poll, and for the fourth straight time it has been unanimous. Only the Kings have [...]

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 [...]

If The Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 22

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 [...]

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 17

By ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 12

By ⋅ December 23, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Now this has been a good week. The Blackhawks enjoyed a spell on top of the West. We’ve seen a game in each conference between the two best to determine the top team. The Avalanche are retaking control over their division. Even the Bruins moved back into 2nd in their division and 5th in the [...]

Hello, and welcome to Sports of Boston’s premiere of our bi-weekly NHL power rankings. Four SOB experts have ranked the top ten NHL teams so far, three have submitted their choices for surprisingly good and bad teams so far, and the results are partly stable and partly in disagreement. The Capitals, Kings, Predators, and Avalanche [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 11

By ⋅ December 16, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The brackets are suddenly looking so much more interesting. Nobody gave the Kings a thought before the season, but now they’re on top in the West. And of 15 teams in the East, eight will go to the playoffs, and #14 (Tampa Bay) is only two points away from being tied for the last spot. [...]

Things are picking up. All five Atlantic teams are in line for playoff spots. Only one division features a point differential between 1st and 2nd of more than four points. Only one of the six Canadian teams is up for a slot. And to top it all off, five out of eight current series would [...]
