| 2009-2010 Power Rankings: Week 1 | ||||
| RK (PV) | TEAM | REC. | COMMENT | |
 |
1 | Penguins | 0-0-0 | Hey, they’re the defending Stanley Cup champs. They get a free pass to the top of the rankings for at least a week. |
 |
2 | Sharks | 0-0-0 | These are regular-season rankings, not playoff rankings, which explains why the Sharks are here and not in the trash bin. |
 |
3 | Flyers | 0-0-0 | This is a good, big, deep, hungry team. All eyes are on goalie Ray Emery now. |
 |
4 | Capitals | 0-0-0 | The Caps are grittier up front, but the defense and goaltending will have to prove themselves if Washington wants to get to the top of the heap. |
 |
5 | Blackhawks | 0-0-0 | Can the youthful Hawks play with monster expectations? Why not? |
 |
6 | Red Wings | 0-0-0 | The Wings will have to prove significant personnel changes won’t set them back too much in the ultra-competitive Western Conference. |
 |
7 | Flames | 0-0-0 | Look for big bounce-back seasons from goalie Miikka Kiprusoff and defensemanDion Phaneuf. |
 |
8 | Bruins | 0-0-0 | Defending Vezina Trophy and Norris Trophy winners Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara suggest the Bruins will remain a force in the East even without Phil Kessel. |
 |
9 | Ducks | 0-0-0 | If the goaltending tandem of Jonas Hiller and Jean-Sebastien Giguere doesn’t implode, the Ducks are a dark horse to win the Pacific Division. |
 |
10 | Lightning | 0-0-0 | The Lightning could be the surprise team in the Eastern Conference if Mike Smithstays healthy in goal. |

Agreed.
It was Melrose who said Stamkos wasn't ready for the NHL if I remember correctly.
