Unmasking the NHL’s Deceptive .500 Teams: Who’s Faking Success This Weekend?
1. Colorado Avalanche (21-2-6, +52) – Filthy.
*Goals differential without counting shootout decisions like the NHL does for some reason.
Not ranked: Washington Capitals – I’ve been accused by Caps fans of napping on their team so far this season. I think they may have a case.
As recently as last week’s newsletter, I basically wrote off the Metro as being a battle between the Hurricanes and Devils and a bunch of also-rans. The top-five rankings have reflected that, those two teams being the only ones in the division to get any love. Meanwhile, the team that finished first in the division last season was overcoming a slow start to end up in the same spot this year, and nobody seemed to be paying attention.
