This week's rankings are based off the calculations from Sunday evening. The records do not account for the games that were held last night. As promised, the formula for the T.O.A. ranks have been reviewed and updated, creating a new formula that takes into account streaks that penalize teams performing poorly at the moment & elevating those who have been "hot". Today, we present to you the NEW T.O.A. Week #12 NHL Power Rankings:
Chicago continues to dominate & have pretty much locked up the T.O.A. President's Trophy for most weeks at #1 this year. The Top 5 have seen no movement, making it look as if they are content with their position's. Power index's have changed dramatically for many clubs, either skyrocketing or diving (Nashville's dive & Dallas' surge). Tampa Bay & Nashville have seemed to be placed in their appropriate spots recently with the new formula change, dropping 9 & 10 spots respectivelly. This movement shows the truer form of the two clubs. Dallas' large jump can be contributed to their helpful 5 game winning streak.
Playoffs are closer than ever, & with things starting to take shape we'll start working on the end of the year awards & a ranking/prediction system for the playoffs. Here's the new ranks:
