The goal is to update this every Monday before games are played that day. Now that we are through the All Star break (speaking of which, Hackett just got beat 5-hole again) I think this is a great time to start.
I have ranked the teams this week based on their overall performance, of course, but I do favor recent success quite a bit here. For each week going forward, we'll take a look at the past week and any major transactions that may have affected the teams.
Enjoy.

An good content tool to be added to your BLOG, which should stimulate more comments.
This offers fans a quick, one-stop reference to the Western Conference's competitive balance (irrespective of whether they agree with your team ranking).
Go Aeros!
Why thank you for the compliment! Now please continue the discussion.
I would also like to hear from both Heather and John on this ...
Mainly, I spent 5 minutes trying to figure out who CLT is. CHA? Is that airport speak? :)
I'll have to get back to you on the rest of it. Other than the #1 there, who scare the crap out of me, I haven't paid enough attention to the rest of them to be edumacated.

Just in case.... :-)!
I wish the Amerks were 9-3-0-1 in January, I think it was more like 4-4-1-2. Looking forward to checking this out!
