Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 The power rankings don't take into account the difference between rankings. Example my Fwds might score 50 goals, serge might be 2nd with 10 goals, Negreanu may be 3rd with 9 goals. Even tho my team scored 40 more goals then serge, I still only gain 1 extra power ranking point, it would be the same if I scored 1 more. It punishes teams like mine and rewards the joke teams like Broadway Arp and Jay. Link to post Share on other sites
Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 If you guys honestly think 14 teams are better then mine, you are more delusional then serge with the leafs or Zach is with making out with bicycles. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If I Negreanu gave me access to the cos, sin, & tan of the power rankings, I believe I could index it to the mean. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 In other news, the Whalers are back to thinking the power rankings are totally stupid since he has fallen back to the #3 spot. Its Kessels fault. He came into camp in bad shape (fat!), refuses to play defence and is the first one off the ice after practice. Its killing the morale on our team. And there is nothing I can do about it, because he's un-generalmanageable!! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Tell me how a team with a starting lineup of Crosby Malkin Backstrom Datsyuk Spezza Vrbata/Vanek/Bergeron/Hoffman Is the 15th best team in the league. Rhetorical question. It's not the 15th. It's near the top. Raise teams on pedals like serge broadway and jay all you want, but everybody is dreading a matchup with the magically delicious.

bigguyren68 155 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think everyone agrees that when you have Crosby, Malkin, Backstom, Datsyk, and Spezza, as your lineup, you are easily a top team. The problem is that of the last 25 games, there is only 3 days( Jan 21st, Jan 27th, and feb 21st) when all 5 are in. And of course we play you on one of those nights.

Ottawa_Biatch 288 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 How is your goaltending? Ottawa Buffalo New York Islanders All east coast teams so I can't take a bad beat late at night. I think everyone can agree my goaltending isn't the best, but probably a top 5 tandem in the grand scene of things. Link to post Share on other sites

But this is about the playoffs. If this was about the regular season, I should have my name on the AHL title bc I dominated the league and won the presidents trophy but ran into horrible bad luck as I lost to gothics pathetic team. My team this year is built for the playoffs as I have that 5 player combination in 24 of the eligible 27 playoff games. Link to post Share on other sites
bigguyren68 155 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Not to call BS on you or anything, but in AHL playoff first round , Pittsburgh does not play game #1,#2,#3,#5, or game #6. hence you get Crosby and Malkin once for game 4. Your team depth will have to come through for you in that round. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I have more points than Biatch. How is this a debate. Lol. My team sucks... Link to post Share on other sites
MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 The Whalers got the trophy. But Dan had the best team last year. I agree with Dan, his team was better than mine last year. I feel this pool, like most other head to head leagues, greatly undervalues the regular season champ and greatly over values playoff champs. There should be a greater emphasis and rewards for the regular season champ. I think the reject cup finalist gets more than the 1st overall team, which seems silly no?

bigguyren68 155 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Like the NHL, no one remembers who was the president trophy winner last year, but pretty much everyone knows that LA won the cup. Link to post Share on other sites
