The Sabers take the first number one in 2007, with the Ducks hot on their heels. On the other side of the countdown, the bottom five hasn’t changed one bit. Where did your team end up?

29-7-3 | They define blue collar. Bring your lunch pale if you want to even come close to beating them. |

28-8-6 | Now, the Ducks’ true test comes, Prongs is out for a while with a broken foot. |
| 3 (4) |  |
26-11-3 | Tomas Vokoun could be back in net soon for the Preds, with Mason as hot as he is right now…things could be interesting in Music City. |
| 4 (7) |  |
25-9-5 | How does Chris Chelios celebrate New Years? He injures his shin, then has to clean up the mess of a double murder at his bar. Happy New Year. |
| 5 (3) |  |
26-14-0 | They pick up Mathieu Biron, could be more help to a team that’s been slipping a bit in the defensive side. |
| 6 (5) |  |
25-15-0 | Mike Modano may have a serious hip injury, if that’s true; I hope the Stars like to slip. |
| 7 (8) |  |
24-12-6 | With Ilya Kovalchuk stuck in a slump, Hossa has to pick up more of the slack. |
| 8 (6) |  |
23-11-5 | Alexei Kovalev has been hot as wildfire lately, but it just hasn’t been translating to wins. |
| 9 (9) |  |
22-13-4 | Martin Brodeur has to be the only reason these guys are where they are. |
| 10 (10) |  |
21-17-4 | Eric Staal should concentrate less on making horrible Time Warner ads, and more on breaking his four game slump. |
| 11 (15) |  |
21-17-2 | Marian Gaborik is practicing, but it’s still uncertain when he comes back to game action. |
| 12 (21) |  |
21-18-1 | Congrats to Alex Burrows, who scored his first goal of the season, only took him 41 games. |
| 13 (19) |  |
21-18-2 | Jason Spezza is out until the All-Star break, tough test for the enigma known as the Ottawa Senators. |
| 14 (13) |  |
20-17-4 | Jed Ortmeyer has finally made his season debut. He almost died this off-season from a pulmonary embolism. |
| 15 (11) |  |
19-15-3 | Sign one that your season’s over: Philippe Sauve is your new backup goalie. The only worse news would be that he’s starting. |
| 16 (17) |  |
19-15-4 | Miikka Kiprusoff has 18 wins this season. He’s looking sharp in the ultra-competitive Northwest, where the point totals are deceptive. |
| 17 (12) |  |
19-17-3 | Bad news for the Islanders, Alexei Yashin has returned, and that other guy wearing #79 is having some knee problems. |
| 18 (14) |  |
19-18-2 | The Oilers have been slumping on the offensive side of the puck. |
| 19 (16) |  |
19-18-2 | Joe Sakic is now in the top ten in points scored for a career, passing Paul Coffey. Next stop, Toronto. |
| 20 (22) |  |
18-17-6 | Darcy Tucker barely misses any time with a fracture in the foot. |
| 21 (23) |  |
17-15-6 | Maybe Mario should have announce his intentions to move earlier this year, they could be competing for a division title. |
| 22 (24) |  |
17-17-5 | Rene Bourque is still struggling to come back from his lacerated neck. |
| 23 (20) |  |
18-20-2 | Johan Holmqvist seems to be keeping the ship steady, but they still can’t find the back of the net. |
| 24 (18) |  |
16-17-7 | As goes Alexander Ovechkin, goes the Caps. Right now, Alexander hasn’t scored in four games. |
| 25 (26) |  |
16-20-2 | Mike Comrie finally gets out of hockey purgatory. |
| 26 (25) |  |
15-20-7 | Your guess is as good as mine. Belfour looks like he’s about five hundred years old, everyone else is either injured or has no talent. Reminds me of another team called Panthers in another sport. |
| 27 (27) |  |
15-20-4 | Nikolai Zherdev has yet to adapt to Hitch’s style of play. If he doesn’t soon, the Jackets will get to pick number one at their own draft. |
| 28 (28) |  |
14-22-5 | Dan Cloutier is out for a week to ten days, could be the best news the Kings have gotten all year. |
| 29 (29) |  |
12-20-7 | Manny Legace has looked great this season, too bad no one else on that team has. |
| 30 (30) |  |
11-24-4 | Peter Forsberg is out with a…oh you know the rest. |
