I am watching the Islanders whooping the Devils' butts right now in the first period 3-0 (something I never heard myself saying in a while), and I thought I would start a hockey blog. I already have a soccer blog since soccer is my favorite sport but my friend got me turned onto hockey so I thought why not start a blog about it.
Since, I'm watching the Islanders--Devils game right now, I thought I would start by talking about the 2010-2011 edition of the Metro Ice Challenge. Here are the standings as of today (12/23/10) with my analysis, including W-L-OTL percentage and goal difference.
1. New York Rangers (4-1-0, 80.0%, 18-12, +6)
This season, I don't see how the Rangers can end this season without winning the Metro Ice Challenge. I'm not a Rangers fan but I have to admit that they would have to screw up pretty badly in order to let this slip away from them.
2. New York Islanders (3-2-0, 60.0%, 15-12, +3)
The above record is most up to date as of the last few minutes. The first period of the Devils-Islanders game has ended 3-0 for the Islanders. Even if the Islanders don't make the playoffs this season, I can see them doing well in the Metro Ice Challenge. They have not let the Rangers walk all over them this season based on past games this season and the Devils don't seem to be much of a challenge.
3. New Jersey Devils (0-4-0, 0.0%, 1-11, -10)
The Devils have been a joke this season. They are the current title holders with a 2009-2010 record of 7-4-1 in the Metro Ice Challenge. This season, they have already matched last season's losses and no wins recorded in the Metro Ice Challenge. I don't seeing them taking the title again this year.
