As the weekend is upon us, here's the T.O.A. Week #5 NHL Power Rankings! This week we see a lot of violent movement & the continued perpetuation of two statistical anomalies that reveal who truly is stronger than the rest. Chicago continues to dominate for a 3rd straight week, while we see perennial powerhouses San Jose & Detroit slowly slipping into the abyss. The two statistical crazies have become Tampa Bay, due to there amazing start and goal differential keeping them climbing even though they're losing, & Nashville, who's record speaks for itself but their offensive output doesn't. Pittsburgh & Anaheim stay in place at the top while so does Columbus & Florida at the bottom of the bunch. Here's the rest of the NHL as they line up:
