The Score’s NHL staff couldn’t quite wait for the beginning of the NHL season to issue their first set of power rankings, and today, they dole out Christmastime gifts for each and every one of the league’s 31 teams, including #31 in their rankings (but #1 in your hearts):
31. Detroit Red Wings
? Patience. The Red Wings were truly horrible last season and likely won’t be much better in 2020-21. However, with Steve Yzerman overseeing the front office and some promising prospects coming down the pipe, Detroit’s rebuild is now on track. It just might be a while before the team starts to yield results at the highest level.
Continued; I wish and hope that the Red Wings don’t finish last again (lottery odds be damned), but if they do, I hope that the 2020-2021 season isn’t quite as miserable as the 2019-20 season was, for all of our sakes.
It depends on which team(s) decide they need a shot at Bettman’s Balls.
I say 31 is fine and probably just to show what Bettman really is.
It is an odd season, fast starts might be rewarded!
Will the last two Stanley Cups mean anything after this season?
I will look forward to seeing as many prospects as possible even if they have short stay, Blast From The Future!
My hope is they finish 31st by 1 point. My hope is that their total is 50 points in a 56 game season to finish 31st. My hope is they win the lottery. My hope is for 2021 to be a great year for everyone who reads this.
Watch out for diving Senators, traded another roster player for a 2nd round pick today!
Coyotes did this ^
