2008-09 HockeyAnalysis.com NHL Power Rankings

These NHL Power Rankings are generated by an algorthm and are based on each teams record, their quality of competition, and the overall difficulty of their schedule. Early in the season these rankings can be a bit out of whack because of the small sample size but once each team plays 10-15 games they begin to balance out.
