When it comes to power rankings, does consistency matter?
(Pauses so everyone can make their own “Yeah, consistently wrong” jokes.)
I think it’s a fair question, and it’s one that’s come up a few times over the last few weeks. I leave a team out of the Top 5, or maybe don’t rank them quite as highly as their fans think I should. Inevitably, somebody points to a team in a better spot and demands to know how I can think so highly of them. After all, they’re just so… inconsistent.
The Avalanche get this treatment a lot.
