What a difference a week makes……?
With the Isles sacking Jack Capuano, there is always the hope – however slim – that the Isles could somehow turn the season around and make a run at the playoffs. Our opinion pollsters aren’t too optimistic. Our own power rankings formula has the Isles just on the outside looking in (in an ideal world where the 16 best teams based on results and strength of schedule get in; alas, the Isles are in the supercharged Metro, so…).
This also once again brings up the opportunity to talk about the loser point, why it sucks, and how to get rid of it.
