Had a look at the Weekly NHL Rankings from both networks, I got so choked with TSN and their stupid analytics under each team that I sent an e-mail to Scott Cullen, asking him why on earth would you pur a non playoff team two rankings above the Flames, also why are you ranking the Flames at 21st, instead of 13, where Sportsnet has them. Typical Toronto Sports Network response from Mr. Cullen was that if I didn't like the stats or the placing of the Flames, then I shouldn't be looking at the weekly placing, but at the overall standings, as he deals in analytics. Maybe he didn't like my comment that the only two stats worth looking at were wins and losses, the rest of the stats were for idiots and not worth recording. Hope TSN loses the rights for the World Juniors as well as NHL games. The standings from Sportsnet are just that weekly standings. As far as I am concerned this analytic crap is just a make work project and is total garbage. Sure hasn't helped the Make Me Laughs win any games has it!!!!
