The Flyers have done it. They have liberated themselves from the bottom of the power rankings. A slight tweak to the formula finally puts Ottawa where they belong. While the top of the standings see no change. Where did you team end up this week?
*Note: Power Rankings Formula is ((Points Earned/Points Possible) * Goal Differential per game + wins)

A good betting tip: Put the house on Ryan Miller winning at least the Veznia.

Reason number one they won't deal Jean-Sebastien Giguere: Ilya Bryzgalov keeps getting hurt.

Good news for Detroit: St. Louis, Chicago and Columbus are in your division; you can't finish worse than second.

Eric Staal is one of the best young players in the game today.

Possibly the most overachieving team in the NHL, until you notice their goal differential is -1.

Viktor Kozlov is getting it done in the place of the injured Alexi Yashin. Maybe the Wangs did know what they were doing. |

For all intensive purposes, the Northwest is a flat-foot tie. Their +1 goal differential may mean this lead is only temporary.

Fun Fact of the Week: Chad Kilger broke Al Iafrate's shot velocity record this week when Kilger blasted a 106.6 MPH shot. Yeah, block that, and if you survive, please come talk about your experience.

The Atlantic Division is separated by five points between first and fourth. The Rangers are in the thick of the hunt.

Just when you had the Sens figured out, they start winning again. 8-2-0 in their last ten has them over .500 for the first time this season.

They looked like they were going to walk the dog on the Northwest, then reality hit. In the Northwest, one loss can put you in the cellar.

This is an APB on Vincent Lecavalier. If found, please return him to the Tampa Bay Lightning.

Hi, this is Roberto Luongo, if you have seen my teammates, please tell them to help me. I can't win games on my own.

Alex Tanguay said he was traded because of his poor playoff performance. Why is this news? I was starting to wonder if Tanguay was even still alive.

Brian Pothier at least knows what to do with the puck, pass it to Ovechkin. Don't worry Caps fans; the league found that Ovechkin's hit was legal.

It's got to be Theodore's fault. Noting else makes sense, or does it? Milan Hedjuk is the team's leading scorer with nine goals. |

Marc-Andre Fleury is the leading East vote-getter. How?

Man, there must be a riot in Philly. They move out of the cellar of the power rankings, and Bobby Clarke is back. The only thing missing, the Eagles missing the playoffs.
