I think this is worse than The Athletics takes, that’s impressive.

As someone with Connor Hellebuyck and Ilya Samsonov in their fantasy pool I can confirm that this assessment has aged poorly.

Did they just start watching hockey last season? Demko had a down year but to put him behind anyone in Canada other then Helly is pretty silly. I can’t fathom any human that would rather skinner/campbell over demko/any pylon, even before the season started.

The paragraph doesn’t match the rank

Lol you can’t take this SN stuff seriously though. It’s practically become Leaf propaganda over the past few years. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if the 5-4-2 Maple Leafs aren’t ranked higher than the Canucks on their weekly power rankings this week.

Does NO ONE in hockey media outside the market watch the Canucks lol wtf is this??

It’s not just Demko-DeSmith, Jake Allen and Sam Montembault put at 7th have dragged their rebuilding team screaming and kicking to a wildcard spot.
Perfectly fine by me, I’ll be stalking the eastern team subs when we clown on them this week.

I’m not saying this is 100% the case here because I didn’t waste my time reading this garbage, but sometimes these articles are written with a bad take on purpose to get more engagement.

I can’t believe they put Edmonton ahead of them. There a thread that pointed that the goalies for the shark (with 2 games with 20 goals against) have a higher save percentage than skinner/Campbell🤣

Note this is BEFORE the season. Demko had a good finish to last season but his numbers still weren’t great. DeSmiths season wasn’t good either.

I believe they also ranked our forward group 2nd worst in Canada
An opinion only someone from south of the 49th parallel could have

Outside of Hellebuyck, would you have any goalie in Canada ranked higher than Demko?
Skinner and Campbell in Edmonton are expected to play a bend not break style and they have clearly broken. The same can be said of Samsonov and Woll in Toronto, Woll has been great but has little to no track record.
Korpisalo’s track record is not as great as people think it is and Forsberg also has a very small resume.
Markstrom was the main culprit of Steve Dangle losing his vocal chords by screaming “If you’re a goaltender, tend the goal.”. Vladar’s has only been back up and with the team Calgary has in front of them, oof.
