Best & Worst of the NHL So Far

From Ross McKeon at Yahoo! Sports, the quarter-pole power rankings across the NHL. Starting from the bottom, we’ve got:

Florida 29. Florida Panthers (8-11-1, Previous: 29) – The Panthers are still searching for an identity, probably because they’re just 20 games in with a new coach. The slow start by Jay Bouwmeester is disappointing, both for the team and the unrestricted free-agent defenseman who hasn’t done as much with his league-leading ice time totals as he would have liked.

Tampa Bay 30. Tampa Bay Lightning (6-8-6, Previous: 30) – You really don’t know what to expect one night to the next with this group. Obviously the assessment starts over after the recent coaching change. Roles will change, minutes will be redistributed. The real problem, still, is the personnel on defense. Nothing positive is going to come about until the blue line sorts itself out.
