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:

Rank (1st votes)	Team	SBNation site
1 (8)	San Jose Sharks	Fear the Fin
2 (4)	Detroit Red Wings	You're here already
3 (4)	Pittsburgh Penguins	PensBurgh
4 (5)	Washington Capitals	Japer's Rink
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

Western Conference rankings after the jump...

Here's how the Western Conference poll filled out:

Rank	Team
1	San Jose Sharks

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.
