So many things wrong with these power rankings I don't even know where to start:

NHL.com initial power rankings

Power rankings are pretty pointless before the season has even started, but yeah those look terrible.

 

[Spawnisen]

Can't agree more, half the list is just bad to be honest.Why make a list if you really have no clue what to put on it...

 

[tyratoku]

Reading hf's new article on St Louis Blues prospects.

Is it just me or does Schmaltz' upraised hand in the picture look super odd? Like there is some type of hole in the center of his palm?

Just wondering if I am seeing things or not.

 

[TaLoN]

Looks like an ear on his hand...

Nashville loses Suter. Gets better.
NJD loses Parise. Gets remarkably worse.
Wild get Parise, Suter, and influx of young talent. Same.

 

[rynryn]

yeah, well hopefully we'll be the "fastest risers" next time anyone does their power rankings.

That's a bad list right there.

Funny how Eddy 'just missed' the list. I guess Yakupov and Schultz are up for a big challenge.

 

[Northland Wild Man]

Awful list.

 

[WildisLaw]

Just looks like shadows from the lighting on schmaltz fingers to me. Ah and yes that list is pure crap. If the coyotes make the playoffs again...I'm never watching the nhl again

But. . . . but. . . . . they have Sheppard?!?!

 

[Fel 96]

Imagine a Sheppard-Gomez duo.

So dreamy!

Nope, will be called unsustainable.

 

[Karl]

There is no ****ing way Eddy finishes above the Wild. I don't care that they have 20 first round draft picks. I guess in some people eyes Yakupov J. Schultz>Parise Suter.

Strombone
Can't wait!!! “@NHL: #Canucks fans, are you ready to see Cory Schneider as No. 1 in net? #hockeyisbackâ€

Strombone is Luongo, by the way.

 

[Fel 96]

Hearing NJ, Car, SJ and Ana among some teams that have inquired about Gomez...

Damn, I thought Johnson could have been a decent 4th liner with the Yotes. Oh well.

Nucky is starting the year with Andrew Ebbett as their 2nd line center...

Ouch.

According to numerous bloggers, this will not affect their playoffs chances.

Hehe,ahahaha... Ah, those were NOT the good ol' days....

He looked like an egg too... Ah the Nuckers... They deserve their twisted fate

 

[Jaykay]

After watching all high school and college games this winter I had forgotten how good NHL players are....wow.

It's back!

Kings proving Cup hangover at least for tonight is a very real thing. Ottawa up 2-1 now on Winnipeg and Penguins up 2-1 in Philly.

That was absolutely hilarious I will give him that.

Imagine a Sheppard-Gomez duo.

So dreamy!

PLEASE oh please let this be true!
