iamtheprodigy Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 http://tsn.ca/fantasy_news/feature/?ID=548 Overall, I don't really agree with them, considering that the Devils are behind several stupid teams for no real reason. For example, the Coyotes are ranked third in the league despite having an identical record to ours and losing their last game? Winning 6 out of 7 is apparently just barely enough to make into the top half of the league? Eh, whatever. Like this quote though: The former top-ranked team took it on the chin last week Yeah, they definitely took something on the chin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devils731 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Oh come on, beating the number 1, number 2, and number 8 team in their last rankings recently could not justify moving the Devils more up from 18 to 15. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatansDevils Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 these rankings have always been a joke and just a waste of time. It is really one writers opinion on who he or she likes right now in the NHL. can't really go by these rankings because the Devils are a lot better than 15th.

iamtheprodigy Posted October 26, 2009 Author Share Posted October 26, 2009 who gives a sh!t? it's october and they don't actually reflect real life standings Power Rankings never reflect the real life standings unless they're exactly the same as the point standings, which would make them pretty pointless. The idea is to rank the teams not just by points but how hot they are at a given time. It is early in the season and this doesn't decide anything, but it's still a valid way of looking at the play of the teams at this point. That said, I disagree on a few points, like I mentioned.

DevilNurn Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 (edited) The TSN rankings are really stupid this week. I mean, behind the Blackhawks? And especially the Oilers, who've, like they said, been shut out 3 of the last 4 games. Edited November 9, 2009 by DevilNurn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilNurn Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Click here for an explanation of the Power Rankings methodology I know, I've read them before. I understand their methodology, but that doesn't mean it's the correct methodology. There's got to be some manual override to an inherently subjective rank. If the Oilers have been shut out 3 of the last 4 games, I don't think they should be above a team that's won 5 of its last 6. I don't care who either of the teams are.

DevilNurn Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 a. you are commenting on a weeks old ranking b. injuries will pull you down and the Devils have had their fair share recently Oh well that they're a week old, it's not when they were taken, it's what was taken. At the time, the Oilers were shut out 3 of the last 4 and Devils had won 5 of their last 6. Injuries shouldn't pull you down if you're able to overcome them. And the Devils have been able to do that.

pattyelias Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 The Devils are always number one in the only power ranking that really matters. The power ranking in my heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
