Unmasking the NHL’s Deceptive .500 Teams: Who’s Faking Success This Weekend?
That would be so stupid. I want it to happen so bad.
OK, on to this week’s rankings…
Road to the Cup
The five teams with the best chances of winning the Stanley Cup.
I don’t want to be the bearer of bad news, but the Oilers might be Oiling again.
That’s 15 goals in their last two games, with the Sabres up next.
5. Vegas Golden Knights (14-6-8, +6 true goals differential*) – They’re almost fake .500 themselves, thanks to all those loser points. But that might be enough in the Pacific.
4. Carolina Hurricanes (17-9-2, +12) – How worried should we be getting about Freddie Andersen? He’s given up three goals or more in each of his last seven starts, and hasn’t had a game with a save percentage over .900 since Nov. 1. It’s hardly contributed to a crisis in Carolina, since Brandon Bussi and Pyotr Kochetkov have both been good. But at 36 and playing on a one-year deal, you wonder if this could be the end of the Andersen era in Carolina.
