Also, Asking THN Writer To Reconsider Seattle's Place In Power Rankings
Dear The Hockey News' Jason Chen,
Regarding your Nov. 1 NHL Power Rankings column, I'm writing to question your lack of appreciation for the Seattle Kraken. Number 23? Up just three spots from the previous week, despite a 2-1-1 road trip?
You wrote, "They don’t generate many goals and don’t defend very well, and it’s still tough to decipher if they’re more like the first-year disappointing Kraken or the second-year overachieving Kraken."
Granted, that was before Thursday's 4-2 home victory over Nashville. But Jason, I would like to point out that three of the Kraken's five regulation defeats have come against your Power Ranking heavyweights: the Golden Knights (#1), Rangers (#3), and Avalanche (#5).
By the same token, three Kraken wins have come against teams in your top dozen: Lightning (#10), Hurricanes (#11), and Red Wings (#12). So Jason, on your Nov. 8 rankings, send us some props, some rezz, right us up.*
Thanks from your friend in hockey, Glenn
