Look behind you.
^^^^ Had to rethink my pool and make some trades, not sure if it is that Canadian teams just play Canadian teams but a few players are exceeding expectations while some players are underperforming. My pool " Yahoo Fantasy League " gives you 4 players on bench plus you can trade daily. Pulling defense players that are against Montreal for now, hoping that Kuzentsov plays soon. My concern is in the playoffs the Canadian teams ( IMO are not as good as the best American teams ) will not go very far unless they play them more. 5th place in the pool out of 10, 48 points back.

,,and he seems to have very bad character.....not easy to deal with...that's why T.Bay let him go some years ago...and now NYR....teams will think twice before doing a move.
DeAngelo has a reputation of being a real a-hole on all the teams he's played for. Many believe his days as an NHL player are over since he's highly regarded as being a poison. Kind of reminds me of Sean Avery who also spent a few years with the Rangers. When even the Rangers (after dealing with Sean Avery) don't want you & swear you'll never play for them again then DeAngelo must be a world-class a-hole!

If I may be honest I think the Canadian division kind of sucks and has some bottom feeder teams. If Montreal was playing in the same division with the Rangers and Bruins do you guys think they would have this record? In any event it is what it is and you can only play the teams on your schedule. They have had a good start and their team looks improved on offense. But the cream of the NHL is NOT in this Canadian division, so do not get too excited because the playoffs will decide who the real cream is.

Actually YES. Montreal would be as good & likely better if they played in the same division as the Rangers & Bruins. For one, the Rangers SUCK! And two, the Bruins are not as good as they once were after losing Chara and Krug. Their goalies are also getting up there in age. Other than Ottawa i don't consider any Canadian teams as 'bottom feeder teams'.

DeAngelo may be a crappy human being but he has ZERO character. Therefore i can't see even Ottawa showing any interest in this bum, especially with the 2-year contract the lowly Rangers just gave him!

The standing refute this Doc. The Rangers Eastern division has 3 teams with 14 points or more. The Canadian division has 2. The bottom 2 teams have 16 points vs. 12 by the Canadian bottom feeders:


The last 2 #1 NHL Draft picks both play on the East as well as the 2019 #2. The Stanley Cup Finalist or one of them is far likelier to come out of the East. Have any Canadian teams even made the finals recently? When was the last time ANY Canadian team won the Stanley Cup?????????? Clue: the Rangers won a Stanley Cup more recently than any team in Canada!!!!!

The standings don't mean anything if the teams don't play against one another during the regular season. It's like boxing. Take a boxing contender who's only a contender by beating up a dozen or so stiffs prior to achieving contender status. Then take a non-contender who's fought the best and toughest in his division only to end up with a losing record. Is he a worse boxer than the so-called "contender"? Logic shows that had he fought the same stiffs the "contender" fought he'd have as good if not a better record and have a shot at the title instead of wasting in obscurity.

2011 was the last season a Canadian-based team reached the Stanley Cup finals. But it doesn't mean anything since 70% of the players around the league are from Canada and Canada continues to kick butt at the Winter Olympics when the best hockey players in the world participate in its hockey tournament. It's also unfair to expect Canadian teams to appear in the finals on an annual basis considering there are only 7 Canadian teams out of 30 teams in the entire NHL. The odds are literally stacked against them.

Updated power rankings Montreal #2 behind TB, plus each team's disappointment. For Montreal the disappointment is their penalties, but since it has not resulted in losing maybe they should keep taking them?

Regarding hockey penalties, I find that there are necessary penalties and unnecessary penalties and stats should be kept for both. If a team is taking a high % of necessary penalties that's fine, but if there is a high .% of unnecessary penalties it's from lack of discipline and poor coaching. The Rangers benched DeAngelo after he took an unnecessary penalty in the first game of the season for 2 whole games. This shows the destructiveness of taking unnecessary penalties.

But no Stanley Cups since 1993? That's 28 years that 7 teams have gone without a championship. It's a long time!
If you go by the odds it'll likely take longer before you see a Canadian team winning the Cup. There are currently 31 teams in the league & next year Seattle will enter the league making it 32 NHL teams. That'll be 25 American teams vs only 7 Canadian teams. The odds are overwhelmingly in the American-based teams' favor to win another Cup. In other words the system is rigged against Canadian-based teams ever winning the Cup again. It was much easier when the NHL was a 6-team league which included Toronto & Montreal vs. 4 American teams. No wonder the Leafs & Habs won all those Cups!
