If you end up doing a Sharks video like you said, one thing I'd be interested to hear your opinion on is if sending so many players to the Olympics compared to other teams played a role in not getting over the hump.

It’s CRAZY hot here in Calgary, stay cool to everyone in Western Canada!

As a Kings fan, I am surprised we were ranked as high as we were. One of the mind-blowing facts for me (in a bad way) is that the Kings have three times as many conference championships (3) as we do division championships (1). We've had a lot of bad years, and a lot of years where we were good, but never the best. My team has only won its division once, as in a single, one time in 56 years of existence. That's just insane. A lot of suffering was alleviated in 2012 and 2014.

I would've never imagined 15 years ago when I got back into hockey that I'd see us ranked as the 4 best franchise of the last 40 years. What a surreal experience it is to have a team like this (best defenseman in the league and a 140 point Hart winner) that's not just successful but insanely fun to watch too.

I started watching and attending Penguin games in 1979. First game vs the Rockies. Second game Edmonton being Gretzky’s NHL rookie season. We had season tickets starting in 1981 and gave them up after the 83-84 season in which the Pens had 38 points for the season. Average attendance for home games was around 8000 if I remember correctly. The 1989s were not good for the Penguins overall though they almost beat the SC Champs Islanders in the 1982 playoffs. Even though they got Lemieux in 1984, they were not good for awhile. They couldn’t beat Philadelphia especially at the Spectrum. It wasn’t until the late 80s when things started to improve dramatically with the acquisition of Paul Coffey, Tom Barrasso and others to put them on the road to the Cup in 1991. After their first Cup win, Pittsburgh became a destination for players wanting to play there.

Gonna keep this list in mind when framing what teams are overall underdogs in future playoff runs

From the year I was born to now. Awesome!!

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years and this is by far the highest I’ve ever seen the Habs on your power rankings. Super weird.

Love the Rockies sweater

Shannon woke up and chose violence. Love it!

Very fair rankings

I remember seeing the Rockies vs Flyers playoff series highlights on CBC in 1977 when I was a kid. My buddy's uncle played on the Colorado Rockies. I remember seeing a few Cleveland Barons highlights too when I was young. Islanders were my fave team back then and it was amazing seeing them win those Cups. I jumped off the Islanders bandwagon when Mike Milbury and brutal ownership were destroying the franchise. Nordiques had some classic playoff series in the 80s and were one of my fave teams. I always liked the Whalers but they usually struggled in the playoffs. I hated the Canadiens as a kid and still vividly remember Dino Cicerelli's rookie season when the North Stars eliminated the once-mighty Montreal club from the playoffs.

The top row has an interesting mix of teams that either play consistently well (but not overpowering) for a long time and teams that use scorched-earth rebuilds to amass a powerhouse team, so kudos to you for designing a points system that allows both types of teams to score well.
