NHL Power Rankin's (week of 3/29/10)

Hello, sports fans. And welcome to another edition of the Power Rankin's!

Alright, raise your hand if you didn't see this coming - I'm talking, of course, about the Detroit Red Wings and their late season burst. They miss out on this week's Big Mover award to Ottawa (up 6 spots to Detroit's 5), but breaking the Top 5 after languishing out of the playoffs through much of the year is worth top billing in this forum.

In the East, it's tough to tell whether anyone really wants the 8th and final playoff berth. Considering that team is now assured of playing Washington in the first round, I don't know that I can blame any of them (Philly, Boston, Atlanta, or Montreal). Boston is the only team that moved up in the Rankin's this week, though, so I'll give them the blog-label recognition.

We're coming down to it, folks. Two weeks left, and only nine playoff spots left (8, if you put Washington through to the second round right now...).

Also, don't forget to vote for your trophy winners on the Bettman's Nightmare homepage!

  1. Detroit is straight-up scary going into the playoffs. All their key players have returned, and they're playing like the team that went last year. I still don't love them, but you have to fear them right now.
