http://www.thehockeynews.com The Hockey News has been providing the most comprehensive coverage of the world of hockey since 1947. en 2007 Medias Transcontinental Sat, 17 May 2008 01:51:34 -0400 60 http://thehockeynews.com/imgs/design/logo_thn_print.gif http://thehockeynews.com/ http://thehockeynews.com/articles/15005-Power-Rankings-The-final-countdown.html 2008-04-07 15:37:31 Power Rankings Now that was a great regular season! Fans of the National Hockey League were treated to playoff races that went down to the wire; Alex Ovechkin played with heart and likely earned himself a Hart, while even an old dude like Jeremy Roenick proved he had something left in the tank when just about everybody was convinced he was running on fumes. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/14797-Power-Rankings-March-31.html 2008-03-31 15:05:47 Power Rankings Give the Washington Capitals props. While they may not make the playoffs, you have to admire their late-season push to get there. The Caps have won eight of their past 10 games, including their past four in a row. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/14585-Power-Rankings-March-24.html 2008-03-24 15:38:33 Power Rankings Who says the regular season has no meaning? With just a handful of games remaining, there were plenty of tilts to be played with playoff implications. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/14397-Power-Rankings-March-17.html 2008-03-17 13:27:43 Power Rankings The Dallas Stars’ stay atop The Hockey News’ Power Rankings didn’t last long.   With five wins and five losses in their past 10 games, the Stars have slipped to seventh overall in the NHL and are showing serious signs of slowing down and not becoming the powerhouse team they appeared to be at the trade deadline. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/14189-Power-Rankings-March-10.html 2008-03-10 15:17:11 Power Rankings And with 13 games remaining, the Sharks have a legitimate shot at ending second behind the Detroit Red Wings. There are a number of reasons why the Sharks are among the best teams in the NHL, including outstanding goaltending and coach Ron Wilson’s ability to get his team to pay attention to defensive detail. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/14007-THN-Power-Rankings-March-4.html 2008-03-04 11:38:19 Power Rankings There is a new king of the castle. While the Detroit Red Wings still rank No. 1 in the overall standings, it is clear in recent weeks they are no longer the NHL’s best team. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/13800-THN-Power-Rankings-Feb-25.html 2008-02-25 19:29:41 Power Rankings Don’t look now, but the Anaheim Ducks are mighty again. While the Detroit Red Wings continue to disintegrate before our very eyes, the defending Stanley Cup champions are looking very much like a team that could be the first champion to repeat since the Red Wings of 1997 and 1998. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/13604-Power-Rankings-Feb-18.html 2008-02-19 14:14:16 Power Rankings It’s almost here: trade deadline day. We will see over the next few days which teams will identify themselves as buyers, with an eye toward this year’s playoffs, and which will be sellers, hoping to improve themselves for next year and beyond. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/13418-THN-Power-Rankings-Feb-11.html 2008-02-11 19:10:51 Power Rankings Talk about a bad week for the Detroit Red Wings. Not only did they get shocked by Toronto Saturday, they returned home to lose the battle of the Titans the following day, a home defeat to Anaheim. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/13208-THN-Power-Rankings-Feb-4.html 2008-02-04 15:02:32 Power Rankings Does the Minnesota Wild remind you of anyone? Like, say, the Montreal Canadiens championship clubs of the ‘70s – big, fast and defense-oriented. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/13054-THN-Power-Rankings-Jan-29.html 2008-01-29 11:58:19 Power Rankings OK, break time is over. Time to get down to business. For some teams, say the Toronto Maple Leafs, this means trying to clear the deck of big contracts to make room for prospects. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/12854-THN-Power-Rankings-Jan-21.html 2008-01-21 07:39:54 Power Rankings No Sid? No problem. With superstar Sidney Crosby nursing an ankle injury, the Pittsburgh Penguins waltzed into Montreal and blanked the Canadiens 2-0 on the strength of goalie Dany Sabourin’s second shutout of the season. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/12663-THN-Power-Rankings-Jan-14.html 2008-01-14 14:50:49 Power Rankings The game lived up to the billing: The Battle of the Titans. And although the Red Wings lost 3-2, it’s going to take more than one road defeat, albeit to their nearest challengers, the Ottawa Senators, to bounce them from the top of The Hockey News’ Power Rankings, particularly when they played their backup goalie, Dominik Hasek. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/12466-THN-Power-Rankings-Jan-7.html 2008-01-07 15:17:21 Power Rankings It’s time to work off that Christmas paunch and get to breaking those New Year’s Resolutions. It’s also the time when the elite of the NHL begin to separate themselves from the rest of the pack, and teams such as the Pittsburgh Penguins, Calgary Flames and San Jose Sharks are beginning to do just that. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/12157-THN-Power-Rankings-Dec-24.html 2007-12-24 13:12:41 Power Rankings They still don’t know who their No. 1 goaltender is, but that hasn’t stopped the Ottawa Senators from climbing toward the top of the NHL standings. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/12002-THN-Power-Rankings-Dec-17.html 2007-12-17 14:43:24 Power Rankings One week after we anointed the New Jersey Devils the second-best team in the NHL, after they won nine in a row, they went into the dumpster losing three of four. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/11789-THN-Power-Rankings-Dec-10.html 2007-12-10 13:52:08 Power Rankings While the Detroit Red Wings remain the NHL’s No. 1 team in The Hockey News’ weekly power rankings, keep a close eye on the surging New Jersey Devils. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/11565-THN-Power-Rankings-Dec-3.html 2007-12-03 15:37:48 Power Rankings You had to see this see coming. With the Ottawa Senators riding a six-game losing streak they take a tumble out of first place in the THN Power Rankings. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/11379-THN-Power-Rankings-Nov-26.html 2007-11-26 12:25:39 Power Rankings 1.    Ottawa (Last week: 1) Starting to look human after all 2.    Detroit (2) Dropped a pair of close ones to Columbus, Nashville 3. http://thehockeynews.com/articles/11199-THN-Power-Rankings-Nov-19.html 2007-11-19 15:19:52 Power Rankings 1.
