A Closer Look: AOL Fanhouse Power Rankings 11/08/08 (Your Cats: Take a Guess...)

So it's come to this. Very little room for childish jabs at the likes of Atlanta or the Isles this week. At least it'll be an easy wrapup:

Teams above: SJS, MON, DET, ANH, WAS, NYR, BUF, MIN, PIT, NJD, CAL, CAR, BOS, DAL, OTW, CHI, PHI, VAN, EDM, NAS, TAM, COL, STL, PHO, COB, TOR, ATL, NYI, LAK.

Leagues Below: maybe the ECHL.

Oh yeah...get over to Puck Daddy for a bit of good news for one area Cat fan.

A Closer Look: AOL FanHouse Power Rankings 10/17/08 (Your Cats: 30th)

We've done it. Thirtieth place. That's the opinion of the FanHouse's Ted Starkey. Anyone care to debate it? Crickets?

A 1-2-0 record isn't entirely awful. If you're what was predicted of Atlanta. Beyond the record alone, 15 goals against in three games is a sure-fire recipe for pain and doubt. Lose 6-2 at home. Both goals by defensemen(!). It was a bad game all around even for non-fans.

I sure hope the Isles aren't taking us seriously for tomorrow's game.

Teams ranked higher: All 29 of 'em.

Teams ranked lower: Umm, the Iowa Chops?
