NHL Power 5: April 30

We are at the end of the 48-game sprint known as the 2013 NHL season. Just about every team had to deal with a roller coaster season. And because of the shortened season, playoff spots and positions came down to the…

NHL Power 5: April 22

The season is almost over. It’s been one heck of a 48-game sprint to the playoffs. As of today five East and four West teams have locked up playoff spots with a couple more births could be locked up tonight.…

NHL Power 5: April 16

What a week for the Canadiens. They were atop of last week’s rankings and now they are out of the Power 5. However, they did clinch a playoff birth last week. It’s good to see the Habs back in the…

NHL Power 5: March 6

This was the first Power 5 of the season that had three or more teams remain in the Power 5. As it’s been for most of the season, Chicago continues to remain at the top. I incorrectly predicted last week…
