Hey everyone, we here at Yahoo! Sports are doing real power rankings for teams Nos. 1-31. Here they are, based on only how I am feeling about these teams and their chances to win the Cup, meaning you can’t tell me I’m wrong because these are my feelings and feelings can’t be wrong. Please enjoy the Power Feelings.

31. Ottawa Senators (Last week: 31)

Yes, it’s only two games but these guys looked very bad at every position and got outscored more than 2-to-1.

Things are awful fluid at this time of year, but it’s hard to see much room for improvement with these guys. Feels like you can just pencil them into the 31st spot all year.

30. Columbus Blue Jackets (LW: 29)

Then again, while we had good reason to believe Columbus would absolutely be worse this year, its quality of play in the first week of the season didn’t even measure up to the rather low expectation. This is just my opinion but if you get outscored 11-3 in two games, you did not do well.

29. Los Angeles Kings (LW: 28)

28. Minnesota Wild (LW: 23)

Last year it was a thing where the Wild didn’t have offense but were among the best defensive teams in the league by certain metrics. Through two games, well, they don’t even have the defense anymore. Can’t score, can’t keep the puck out of the net, and outshot by nine in two games. Could be a longer season than we thought, gang.

27. Chicago (LW: 22)

That performance in Prague left a lot to be deserved even if the score was relatively close. Let’s just say it was a good thing they were playing the Flyers.

26. Philadelphia Flyers (LW: 25)

25. Anaheim Ducks (LW: 26)

I absolutely don’t buy it with these guys but they played better than expected to start the year (only marginally looking worse than their opponents) in two wins. That’s something.

24. Arizona Coyotes (LW: 21)

One goal in two games? Didn’t these guys try to add offense?

23. Detroit Red Wings (LW: 30)

I guess what I would say is these guys don’t so much look good relative to where I had them to start the year, but Anthony Mantha certainly does. They’re winning and that’s nice, but you’d like to see maybe more than one guy do all the scoring.

22. Edmonton Oilers (LW: 20)

At least with the Oilers, it’s two guys doing all the scoring, right?

21. Dallas Stars (LW: 13)

Well, subpar scoring (six goals in three games) and subpar goaltending (eight goals against on 83 shots) will get you three losses, yup. Obviously still time to sort out all that and maybe Roope Hintz really did take a step, but boy this is making a lot of the “Stars Are Competitors!” talk look not great early.

20. New Jersey Devils (LW: 19)

Meanwhile the Devils look worse than even I expected, and I had a lower opinion than a lot of other Smart People.

19. Vancouver Canucks (LW: 17)

18. New York Islanders (LW: 16)

17. New York Rangers (LW: 24)

Okay, well we’re back to the “one guy is doing all the scoring” thing and that’s not ideal at all, but I gotta give the Rangers this: They were fun as hell to watch this week. You gotta respect that.

16. Winnipeg Jets (LW: 15)

They’re about two injuries on the blue line away from just having Paul Maurice suit up. He was a defenseman in junior so that’s allowed.

And look, you can’t really blame him for where the team’s at — and like the Rangers, they’ve at least been fun to watch — but this has been an ugly start to the season.

15. Florida Panthers (LW: 14)

14. San Jose Sharks (LW: 4)

I think 10 spots is as far as I can legally drop a team with this much talent that also has a 90.9 PDO to start the year. But man, they don’t look that good, either. At least, not defensively.

The offense is fine, but not great, but they’re just giving everyone free shots at Jones and Dell. Those guys probably aren’t that good to begin with, so you’d think it’s important to, like, play BETTER defensively in front of them. But hey, the talent!
