SBNation Power Rankings!


A lot of the writers for the hockey side of SBNation got together--electronically at least--and ranked the top 10 in the NHL and 1-15 in each Conference. Keep in mind these are the preseason rankings on who we think are the best teams right now. Here's what came out of the Top 10 poll as well as the Western Conference poll:

5 Boston Bruins Stanley Cup of Chowder
6 Chicago Blackhawks Second City Hockey
7 Philadelphia Flyers Broadstreet Hockey
8 Vancouver Canucks Nucks Misconduct
9 Calgary Flames Matchsticks and Gasoline
10 Carolina Hurricanes Canes Country

Odd how the #15 team in our rankings...

spanked the #1 team last night 5-2, shows that you never really know until the final horn sounds.
