BBKL Power Rankings - September 11, 2011

[shooker]

To much credit for the young gun names on my roster. I won't be destroying many Weeks, and the should make me below col, njd, LAK & bos - they'll win often and big.


Appreciate the compliment to my team though shiv.

really campaining to avoid that all talk no walk threepeet I see. haha although I don't know how you won it this year.

[MSP4LYFE]

thats so funny I forgot to laugh....there are some seriously terrible comebacks going on here. resorting to jungle gym material is sad to see.

You are nothing if not original.

[Robin Hood]

I fell like 7 slots.. Because most of the teams ahead of me did nothing while I added parenteau? Care to elaborate?

One HUGE thing has changed Lee.

When I do these Power Rankings, I take the following into account:

1) How likely is it for the team to make the playoffs?
2) How tough is the road to the Championship if the team makes the playoffs?
3) How likely is it for the team to improve it's current roster given it's prospects, picks and extra nhlers?
4) Has there been a recent trade/event that has shifted the power balance?

In yours, NYI, NYR and BUF, there is a major thing that happened in the last week which has changed things with regards to #1 and #4. Kareem's team has gotten a LOT better. And this is not to compliment him. He was a major theme this week simply because that was the main bbkl event.

In the East, WSH just needs to find a goalie. He has almost 4 weeks to do so. With respect to #3, he has more than enough assets to find a goalie by giving the other Gm what he wants.

So in the East, PHI, NYR, NYI and BUF now have to beat NJD, TBL, BOS, WSH, PIT, OTT, MTL, TOR, failing category #1 up there ^. Lol it is also why EDM is ahead of NYR which upset Kyle earlier.

But one team improving drops me 7 slots, when I've improved as well?

Who cares, it's just Shiv's opinion.

Parenteau isn't exactly an improvement.

You had a great shot at making the playoffs because You were fighting with BUF, NYI and FLA for that last spot. WSH becoming a Playoff team means you guys are on the outside looking in. It makes a HUGE difference. If you were in 7th before WSH entered the picture the fall would not have been as great.

[Robin Hood]

Who cares, it's just Shiv's opinion.

How DARE YOU?! haha. Seriously though I tried my best to stay unbiased. Ranking myself #10 wasn't pleasant lol.

No I know, I appreciate the effort and enjoy reading it. But I'd never be up in arms over where you placed me lol.

LOL yeah. I personally thought you'd take more exception to falling a few spots. It's very possible your team got better lol. I'm gonna do my best to do these weekly though. Keeps shit interesting.

[Mike]

Nice Shiv, keep 'em coming. Love these things.

[Shep]

Yeah I did disagree with the drop, but meh lol. I thought I was ranked a little too high in the first one

Definitely don't stop these. solid reads.

[Tony]

People pissed I'm ahead of them ... sweet

[bills09]

Nice Shiv, keep 'em coming. Love these things.

Agreed Keep em comin Shivster, lets hear em cry!!

Combo of being honest and not wanting to even be a nominee.If I thought I was likely to come #1 I would say as much, but I know youth is dangerous and unreliable, and I've built my team quiet a bit differently then what has previously been successful here in the BBKL. My first goal is to win week-1 versus Florida/Chris, and I really would like to repeat as division champion.


Shiv I think you doing these is awesome even though my own rankings would obviously be adjusted -- However your logic for PHI being behind those top 8 in the east is sound stuff IMO and the conference based power rankings is consistent with tsn style rankings -> also now the schedule is out so that could be used as well

[bills09]

If people dont like the rankings, post your own dont bitch and cry about it.........

Thanks.. now i know why i jump from 30th to 15th... reality hurts...

[KapG]

I agree with the rankings, especially the Rangers position.

Go find a goaltender Child.

Evidently I don't need one to beat you.

^^ Probably not Child. That's OK though....


It will still be fun watching you talk a whole bunch of shit about how good your team is, only to see you lose in the playoffs again like the last 2 seasons.

[Nick]

You're mistaken kap - he did not lose in the playoffs 2 years ago.


Need to be in the playoffs to lose in the playoffs.

[Scott]

I'll say I definitely agree with the top 3 teams. My top 10 would be:

1 - TBL
2 - COL
3 - LAK
4 - TOR
5 - CHI
6 - BOS
7 - NJD
8 - MTL (don't overlook this team)
9 - PIT
10 - STL
**OTT (I'd have him 10th but STL is in the easier conference/division)
