After a two-week absence, DGA's NHL Power Rankings returns. A lot has happened since the last edition of power rankings, so I'll start over without considering where teams were before the little break. Take a look.
1. Boston Bruins - The Bruins are to the rest of the league as Zdeno Chara's height is to every other Bruin.
2. New York Rangers - Since John Tortorella is obsessed with conspiracies recently, maybe it's time to remind everyone how the Rangers cleared cap space for Brad Richards (hint: he's an overpaid defenseman currently in the AHL).
3. Vancouver Canucks - Cory Schneider gets the win in Boston? Imagine what could have been last June...
4. Detroit Red Wings - Detroit rallied in Toronto on Saturday, but then realized they were on the road. So they lost.
5. St. Louis Blues - Brian Elliott might be the best goaltender in hockey right now, but he has no chance to be an All-Star, because he is no longer an Ottawa Senator.
6. San Jose Sharks - The Sharks have been rather quiet lately. Maybe they're trying to draw less attention in the regular season to minimize the impact of their inevitable playoff collapse.
7. Chicago Blackhawks - Pierre McGuire said that Brent Seabrook is the Hawks' versions of Nick Kronwall, although Sea-brook'ed doesn't sound as good as Kron-wall'ed...
