The blog states that our average ranking this week is 4.7 up from 10.4 last week.

Always a strong and updated blog this one.

I just sprayed Tootsie Roll juice on my monitor. That reminded me of the old Doonesbury v USA Today strips. Classics.

I agree with you - they are just for fun. I get why they have proliferated as well. Ar-too and the sheople demand them now.

Sheeople. That's so baaaaaaad. I love it.

As I'm typing "That is the best post I've read in a long time" I recognize the irony. Nevertheless, it's a great post.

Commence joke theft... NOW!

The post above is reason 324 why power rankings are stupid.

CBJFan in Cincy · 11-19-2007, 12:34 PM

Moved up this week to 6 from 8 in TSN power rankings.

Interesting... I don't have any idea what they are using for a basis. I would have thought, for sure, we would have lost some ground in their rankings.

Hmmmm....

read what they say. 3 of our losses came via the shootout, one of them to detroit. another one of our regulation losses was at detroit.

And? I wouldn't use that as justification to move us up. I find it surprising is all. Not that it really matters, we don't even get a cookie or anything for it.

Yep, strength of schedule usually is a big factor. We just completed 8 in a row vs top half of the league(playoff?) teams.

TSN rankings criteria:

Quote:

Note: Power Rankings are produced using a formula that takes into account a compilation of individual player grades based on statistical production. More importantly, the team grades intend to take into account which players are in the lineup to replace those who are out due to injury or suspension and aim to reflect which team would win a seven-game series on a neutral rink.

Second in conference according to them too.

Nordique · 11-26-2007, 02:43 PM

Anyone else think we went from under rated to over rated? I just don't see us as #2 in the West. Top eight in the west, yes, second best in the west...nah.

I scratch my head a little as well. However, it's not like anyone in the West is driving forward to take that title in the critical power rankings...

I'm assuming they are just following their system, as willien posted before, at that's where we fit.

Dropped like a thud to 18 from 6.

blahblah · 12-03-2007, 01:57 PM

Oh noes!

It had to come sooner or later with our recent record.

...and now underrated again. Oh well, 18 is pretty close actually. We're going to be the epitemy of a bubble team come March.

I have a feeling(sick desire maybe) that we'll capture that 8th spot and find ourselves staring at the Red Wings in the first round of the playoffs. That could get ugly, especially for the 5,000 Red Wing fans that would be at the Nat.

Hilliardsw55 · 12-03-2007, 09:38 PM

No matter, as of recent years the Wings have been a bust team in the playoffs. (except for last year, kinda)

I think I would WANT to play the Wings in the playoffs.

CBJFan in Cincy · 12-10-2007, 12:18 PM

Up from 18th to 9th.

Someone has to keep this thread alive all year, might as well be me.

Nordique · 12-17-2007, 02:32 PM

TSN still has faith, CBJ come in at 11th this week, down 2 spots from last week:
