SPNHL S40 Week 5 Power Rankings/ASG Nominees/Playoffs Round 1

Uncategorized

Looking like my predictions were super spot on for week 5, the first one of my Blackhawks securing the Presidents Trophy was true. The east round 1 playoff predictions also came true and unfortunately for the Stars they missed the playoffs by 1 point. 

Week 4 Power Rankings:

  1.  Chicago Blackhawks
  2.  Florida Panthers
  3.  Pittsburgh Penguins
  4.  Philadelphia Flyers
  5.  San Jose Sharks
  6.  Ottawa Senators
  7.  Buffalo Sabres
  8.  Anaheim Ducks
  9.  Calgary Flames
  10.  Dallas Stars
  11.  Colorado Avalanche
  12.  Tampa Bay Lightning

Week 5 Power Rankings:

  1. Chicago Blackhawks (-)
  2. Florida Panthers (-)
  3. Pittsburgh Penguins (-)
  4. San Jose Sharks (+1)
  5. Philadelphia Flyers (-1)
  6. Ottawa Senators (-)
  7. Anaheim Ducks (+1)
  8. Calgary Flames (+1)
  9. Dallas Stars (+1)
  10.  Buffalo Sabres (-3)
  11. Colorado Avalanche (-)
  12. Tampa Bay Lightning (-)

Not much movement throughout the final week of the season, the Blackhawks, Panthers and Penguins all maintain their top 3 spots with 8-1, 6-3 and 5-2-2 weeks respectfully.  The sharks move back into the top 4 with a decent 5-3-1 week 5. 

Flyers move out of the top 4 with a shitty 3-4-2 week but have a good playoff matchup against the Penguins inbound.  The Sens, Ducks and Flames all went 6-3 in week 5 and round out the middle 4 of the PRs. 

The bottom 4 stays super similar to previous weeks with the Lightning and Avalanche at the 11 and 12 spot.  The Stars had a 6-2-1 week which would’ve been fantastic in any other circumstance but they sadly missed playoffs by one spot and point.  The Sabres completed their fun enforcer week and dropped 3 spots into 10th.
