With the Stanley Cup Playoffs drawing closer each and every week the rankings are getting very interesting.  Crazy to think that the top 23 teams in the rankings still have playoff hopes.  The Boston Bruins still hold down the top spot.  The Philadelphia Flyers are the biggest team on the move.  Winners of eight games in a row have moved up to the 6th spot in the power rankings.  Other teams moving up are the Colorado Avalanche (7-1-2 in last 10) and the Calgary Flames (6-3-1 in last 10).  Teams moving the wrong way are the New York Islanders (2-5-3 in last 10), Carolina Hurricanes (4-4-2 in last 10) and the Florida Panthers (3-5-2 in last 10).
