Anaheim is a total fluke. They'll come down to earth any year now... Given my crappy year I'm just glad to be on this list!
Instead of doing another power rankings I wanted to switch it up and show which teams might actually have a chance of beating Anaheim this year. So I compared every team to the Ducks on a given week and if they would've beat them. The following is how teams have fared. *Weeks 1, 8, 12 were irregularly short or with a few games Weeks Won # Non-Irregular Weeks Won % Chance to Beat DucksPanthers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 10 5 38.5%Blackhawks 1, 3, 4, 5, 3 23.1%Kings 1, 3, 5, 8, 2 15.3%Hurricanes 1, 3, 4, 12, 2 15.3%Oilers 1, 4, 10, 2 15.3%Capitals 1, 3, 11, 2 15.3%Canadiens 1, 3, 4, 2 15.3%Blues 9, 11, 12 2 15.3%Red Wings 1, 11 1 7.7%Sabres 3, 12 1 7.7%Bruins 1, 4 1 7.7%Lightning 4 1 7.7%Flyers 9 1 7.7%Flames 1 0 0Leafs 12 0 0Everyone Else 0 0 0There you go. The leagues best bet to beat the Ducks will do it just a little over 1/3 of the time. Yikes.
I did it!! I actually beat the Ducks. Good thing I cashed this upset victory in during the regular season and not when it actually matters On the opposite spectrum, rarely can you feel bad about a loss by 67 points, but when you score the 2nd most points on the week it isn't horrible. Right?
