That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll give it a shot

pdo went crazy no way they repeat that

I gotta put respect on the champs for the first power rankings. We’ll see in August

@@JesseBlakeSportsReport That is fair enough. Considering there were only a few days between the cup final and free agency, as an Oiler fan I can't begrudge the Panthers getting some cookies for winning which is so difficult to do. The Oilers also need to move some cap (or put Kane on LTIR) in order to sign their two RFAs. There is still some maneuvering to be done by both teams before we have a clear picture of what training camp rosters look like.

Edmonton also got lucky to face Silovs instead of Demko, and no Boeser in Game 7. Add Demko, and despite the Oilers firepower, Demko would have won four. The matchup this year also has the Canucks trading to be much faster and even tougher. Can the Oilers survive 4 different monsters hitting them every time they gain the zone? Can the Oilers D survive being hit and agitated by Joshua, Heinen, Sherwood, Miller, Hoglander, Bleuger, DeBrusk? They can thank the hockey gods that Demko was out...and now, the much younger Canucks have the playoff experience and their stars just hitting their peak years. The Oilers don't need to try comparing themselves to Florida... they need to beat Vancouver.

​@scrawnyrapierguy guess what dempko would have done worse that's a 100% fact...the oilers were also.deadly sick that whole series dristial was also banged up whole series and still won..McDavid was hurt all playoffs kane hurt all.playoffs lol...can go on and on..

@@scrawnyrapierguy😂 Vancouver didn’t get better. Lost too much and Oilers gained. I’d put Oilers first as oilers now have 4 driving lines. Great secondary scoring. I like Canucks, but come on

he only got there at the deadline they got to 2nd without him

Yep. When they were 2-9-1 they were tied for last with the Sharks.

Oilers are 31st

​@@choppergunner8650Everyone is tied for last... 😎

@@premiereent Panthers are 1st and everyone else is last

@@choppergunner8650 if it helps you sleep at night. 🍼

No

👊🏽👊🏽

Detroit at 24 is pretty unrealistic tho most of this list doesn’t make sense

@@Pix3lPalacetheir Defense & goaltending is so bad

@@BillyBoi911 no it isn’t bro 💀 they improved their defense a little bit from last lesson and improved goaltending with talbot

Yeah I think I gotta bump them way up in August

@@JesseBlakeSportsReport I'd argue that chunk of teams after the capitals. If they make get the rumoured ekblad trade done thatd easily put them in the capitals tier imo

They lost a lot of key players

What key players did they lose? Montour who underperformed compared to last year, and who got to keep his spot because of how he played last year? The rest were depth players that had equivalent players subbed in and out all year. Vlady was a rental that is replaceable. The key players are the top 6 forwards, the the fins on the third line, and the top 4 d men. None of them are gone besides Montour the rest of the players that left skated less than 5 mins a night. That is 4 forwards and 2 defensemen 1 goalie people that actually played games. People are acting like the capitan left and there are no goalies etc.

@@tontweer montour was a big part of their team if you don’t see that your are dumb

Haha you’re welcome

Far and away the best in the West? 😂😂😂😂😂😂 That's hilarious

I love our amazing 3rd line but I wouldn't mind seeing them break it up a bit... Joshua Miller Boesser DeBrusk Petterson Garland Heinen Blueger Sherwood Podkolzin Suter Hoglander

yep. The Oilers need to worry about Vancouver. If EP40 and DeBrusk mesh and Demko is healthy... I'm positive the Canucks will be as good as Edmonton - younger plus a whole lot tougher.

Yeah, I think with so many new faces it could be kind of messy to start the season. I'm looking forward to the new guys, though

Boeser was in game 6 ,what happened? Honestly how he has the Canucks at 5 is crazy because there are 9 teams that are clearly way better in every way. Also the Demko excuse is getting old ,look what happened to better goalies in the playoffs so you can't say if he was in from game one they would have done better.

@@mikealkarout9555 you tell yourself whatever you need to kid. 😎

@mikealkarout9555 the Oilers barley got by a kid that played less than 10 NHL games before the playoffs. 💀 Demko is a world class goalie. Only someone in denial would say the runner up the Vezina is an excuse 😂 when they had to face a world class goalie they choked the finals away. 💀

Canucks cope, just wait till you guys realize silovs is your best goalie, or don’t actually 🤷‍♂️

@@tommyjack6425 LMFAO Cope harder bud ,poor Canucks fans full of excuses. Keep trying to convince yourself that if you had Demko the Canucks would have won LOOOOOL. Bud the Oilers coach during the series was literally trying out different lines ,he would have rolled out the lines he did against the Stars a team way better then the Canucks the Oilers would have sent the Canucks packing in no more then 6 games. Sit down kid ,you know the Oilers are a way better team ,especially now with the fire power they added for next season. Game 7 in a cup final while your Canucks were golfing for over a month ,who choked?? Do you mean when the Oilers won 8-1 and they pulled the world class goalie?? Bud the Canucks are literally known as the biggest chokers ever in the nhl ,3 cup finals and 3 riots ,wow you are delusional!! Oilers have 5 cups ,Canucks 0 . Yup the Oilers choked ,man no wonder Canucks fans were voted in a espn poll as the most delusional and most obnoxious and most violent fan bases in the nhl!!. They just put out the documentary on the 3 riots in Vancouver after the Canucks choked 3 times in cup finals ,what a embarrassment!!

Lmao 😂😂😂

If you watched the games you would know the answer to that question. Offense has never been Tampas problem. Defense was and 5v5 play. They got better at both. Tampa retooled their whole roster. And they added a highly touted rookie who could play this year in Geekie. Stamkos was a defensive liability at a -21 with 23 takeaways. Jake was a +25 and had 33 takeaways. Pkus Jake is better 5v5. Mac is way better than Serge on defense. Offensively no. Defending? Yes. Tampa is a much better team on paper than last year.

​@@chelious1973TB didn't get better defensively They got worse with rhe loss of Sergachev, McDonough is worse than Serg.

He’s doing this for his first time guys lmao just enjoy the segment

@@helloimshawn who said I didn't enjoy it?

@@johanstinson Ah. Mac is one of the best in the NHL as a defensive defensemen. Serg is one of the worst 5v5. There is a reason Tampa got rid of him. It's actually not even close. Everything I said is valid and accurate. Everything you said, not do much.

I think Chicago has got to prove it to me on the ice before I believe they want to contend again. The goaltending is so bad.

That’s fair, I don’t think they can contend yet but they’ve taken a step in terms of talent at least. I kindly hope they prove you wrong Jesse!

It’s only July! I think the Devils are gonna have a big season

Homie said they took a step back when we got rid of our inconsistent players including shitty forbort, gryz, and debrusk, and added lindholm + Zadorov. Dude has no clue 🤦‍♂️

​@@breacherup1803boston is below average with a great goalie

@@KyleMacSkill lmao below average team that makes the playoffs every year huh? lol they only got better, we made second round with a bunch of AHL level talent last year, keep doubting us 😂

Yes, surprise us with how bad they are

way to many old players and overpriced players..Yzerman so overrated by their own fans..I hope he signs a lifetime contract in Detroit lol

No one is saying that. But be realistic the oilers and panthers were equal or if you want since panthers won they have a microscopic 1 goal edge. But they got weaker. Oilers got better. That’s why they should be 2. No one said they got WAY weaker. But they did get slightly weaker. And oilers got clearly improved.

a) There's 16 teams in the West so that's not possible b) 3 of his top 10 teams are in the East, including the very first one 👏👌

If it’s only Nashville, I’ll take 31 out of 32 haha

I've watched so-called "power rankings" videos from Shannon The Hockey Guy and Larry's House of Hockey and look forward to watching more than just the first few seconds of the latest SDPN so-called "power rankings" video.

I think they will be a really good team this year, but have a steep decline.

actually the Sabres do, cause they will be eons in front of those teams this year..but its ok, I like the fact they are going to surprise this year

Just to counter slightly, our issue in the early season was getting used to a VERY different system and slow start. Once we got kicked by Dallas we shaped up. By the time we hit the playoffs we were still solid but our biggest issue was still scoring. Adding two 40 goal players should ideally help with that. Especially with stamkos on paper helping boost our PP massively. So yes while our record could've been better, and while we considerably overperformed... we caught our footing and clearly our thirst for a cup is pushing us for these 3 to 4 years despite age. Obviously we need to see the actual play of course... but I'm pretty positive looking forward. Not to mention our 2 first round drafts next draft and asky and stastney and lhierux in the wings. Again... practically? We'll see. But on paper? Looks good to me

Uh oh 👀

La is 100% worse then last year lol

Maybe! But they’re Tampa and are somehow always good

It's not that bad if you watched them through the season. People act like they didn't have 3 more lines worth of d men subbing in and out all season that performed identically to everyone except forsling. Same thing with the 4th line of forwards, 6 guys rotating in and out on that line with almost no change. They aren't like other teams that fall off after one or two lines, they don't fall off until you get to their echl team.

Vegas are finished

🎉

If you think Toronto is good, then I'm glad you think Edmonton sucks, because obviously there's something wrong with your opinion.

@@Marixa1979 who said I think Toronto is good dumbass

@@Marixa1979 I never said I thought Toronto was good, kinda sad how the Leafs live rent free in your head though.

@@ionystherogue5627 We're bombarded by Leafs news every moment here out west. Comment would hit harder from you had you not started with the Oilers slander.

@@Marixa1979 so you blame me for you assuming?

No fucking way you’re ranking Nashville that high never rank again😭

don't watch Canucks games eh? One of the best goalies in the league, a tough, fast and deep forward core, and a HUGE punishing defense lead by the current Norris winner (who won by a landslide) and the current Coach of the Year. If they had Demko, they'd have probably faced off with Florida in the Final.

​@scrawnyrapierguy you wouldn't make it past Dallas.

@@fckillaa and yet there it is....

@@scrawnyrapierguy ...chances are I was watching 'Nucks games before you were born, but experience aside, I would for them to return some glory back to Vancouver when the city was jumping with passion during the Linden/Bure era...or the revival era of the Sedin twins! And hate to say it, but the Sedin twins era was the last ''great'' hockey era for Vancouver - if you watched the games you'd see how dead the energy was this past season (especially after the all-star break). We definitely agree Demko is a force, but then again so are 2/3 of the goalies once they make the playoffs. What Vancouver needs is some consistency and help up front in order to be a genuine contender and create a new era for Vancouver to get passionate again.

Damn 🥺

You're* awful, you* really* know* nothing

So it was YOU who licked up all that lead paint!
