Half of the shortened 48-game season seems to be complete & that means the release of the T.O.A. Week #7 NHL Power Rankings! As we look upon the 7 weeks we've completed, one thing becomes apparent: Chicago's dominance. Although they were dealt their first loss of the season by the hands of Dallas, their epic run will be something to remember for years to come. This week things shaken up in the rankings as Washington & Carolina pushed their way up. The soon to be non-existent Southeast division is finally showing some life. The two statistical anomalies (Tampa Bay & Nashville) continue to smooth out slowly due to their lack-luster play. With the trade deadline less than a month away, things should get a little more interesting. Now, let's take a break & view the ranks while preparing ourselves for the second half of the NHL 2013 season!:
