November Power Ranking
A big thanks to everyone who made a submission for November's HFVHL Power Ranking! I was a bit skeptical at first with continuing on with the Power Ranking but I'm glad interest picked-up near the last couple days. Moving forward, I plan to continue on with the monthly updates and allow GMs to start submitting new rankings about a week before the end of the month.
In our November ranking, we see a number of big changes throughout. Our league leading Florida Panthers (#4), led by GM @ATypicalCanadian, jumped up 12 spots into the #4 spot. GM @Wush's St Louis Blues (#1) claim the top spot in November's Power Ranking after a hot start to the season. The Los Angles Kings (#2) and Carolina Hurricanes (#3) jump into the top 3, while the defending Stanley Cup Champions, the Vancouver Canucks (#5), slip 3 spots to #5.
The Tampa Bay Lightning (#6), the Boston Bruins (#8), and the New York Islanders (#9) haven't quite lived up to expectations, resulting in all three teams to drop in this month's power ranking. The Arizona Coyotes are the only team to not change in ranking as they stand-pat at #7. The Winnipeg Jets (#10) just beat out the Philadelphia Flyers (#11) for final spot in the top 10. And a big congratulations to both GM @Black Noise and GM @HankNDank as the Calgary Flames (#12) and New Jersey Devils (#13) went from being unranked to contending teams. The Ottawa Senators (#14), the Anaheim Ducks (#15), and the Pittsburgh Penguins (#16) round out the top 16 teams despite falling a few spots from the off-season power rankings.
As we've expanded our HFVHL power ranking to the top 20 teams in the league, a warm welcome to the San Jose Sharks (#17) and the Edmonton Oilers (#20) on making the cut. Both have shown great potential and I look forward to seeing if they can climb up the ranks. Our biggest fallers of the November power ranking, the Buffalo Sabres (#18) and the Washington Capitals (#19), round out the top 20 dropping 8 and 10 spots respectfully. Look for both teams to bounce back soon and jump back up a few spots.
Thanks again for everyone who submitted a ranking. Looking forward to the next one!
