A lot of parody this week with many teams simply swapping positions. But the big news is that there's a new champ in town! Chicago was the Stanley Cup Champion last year as well as the T.O.A. President's trophy winner, nabbing the majority of the season's #1 spots on the ranks. But now it's Week #7 & they're back!
Another cool piece of the puzzle what's been going on with Montreal. The Canadiens are the epitome of stable in this flip-flop world of the NHL. Montreal has registered their 3rd straight week in the middle spot of the ranks at #15, even though their power index has fallen every week by a minimum of .3 points. This shows that this stability is an outside force acting upon Montreal countering against their current style of play, allowing the Canadiens to form an equilibrium of sorts with the other teams.
It won't last for long but for what it's worth, here are the T.O.A. Week #7 Power Ranks! Enjoy:
