Sometimes dealing with various sites’ power rankings is like looking at the old boxing champions. This week, we finally have a unified #1 in the Red Wings. Everyone also agrees the Sens are the #2 team in the league. Also, despite the Flyers winning 5 of their last 6, they couldn’t even crack the top 10 in the ESPN poll.
