I know how this works. You compliment the Leafs, you get blasted for being "Biased" by Habs/Sens/Canucks/Oilers/Jets/Flames fans.

What timing. Duthie just made a sarcastic remark about the Toronto bias

Its A Kingspiracy !
You have a team 1-3 in the top 10, while there are at least 5 other teams with 4 wins way down the top 20 .

Right because everyone who produced lofty projections this season the Leafs or Auston Matthews just got sainted by you guys.... anyone who projected Matthews as a top ten player was practically burned in effigy by you guys. The brave placement would have been to put the Leafs higher, which they probably deserve.

Sure...like do you want me to pull up the offseason reaction threads to Matthews projections I just referred to and compare them with the start he has had(in that crazy place called) real life? Also I wouldn't have posted anything on this if not for your victim complex post and my post was not primarily about the Leafs placement....nevermind, I mean this is the kind of troll job that is just accepted as content here sometimes so good day to you.
With Toronto beating Washington, I possibly flip those two at 4 and 5 now. The Leafs are on the rise, no disputing that.

My understanding of the rationale behind Power Rankings is who CURRENTLY would win a 7 game series against the other teams. Teams would generally beat the teams ranked below them and lose to teams above them.
This would allow for teams to drop an unlimited number of spots, not dictate their position based on last week's place (especially since we're only like 2 weeks into the season!). Oilers should be lower and Vegas should be higher.
That said, I'm quite pleased with the Flames position! TSN kept them middle of the pack even though they were the only team to beat LA which they moved to like 3rd! And that was BEFORE the 6-0 whooping from Sens to boot!

Get used to it guys. It doesn't matter how good the leafs are playing. Putting them anywhere in the top 10 power rankings will rile up non leaf fans. You see it already.

Naw, it's because this is the dreaded year of 50% of HF's new registrations being leaf fans and making the mainboards unreadable.

A good chunk of the new wave of Hf registrations are old users(had mine for 15 years) who couldn't log back in with their original usernames after the change.

I'd argue that this incessant whining is what makes the place unreadable.
