Puck Daddy:  Best Teams Were Pre-Lockout
Kuklas Korner — ... Puck Daddy began their retrospective of the decade today by listing the nine best teams of the decade.  This is a ranking of all of the nine teams that won Stanley Cups in the years 2000-2009.  This is an unscientific listing, where the criteria to rank teams is unclear.  That said, the results of their rankings more or less agree with my opinions (and likely those of most impartial observers).  The top three teams are the 2002 Detroit Red Wings, 2001 Colorado Avalanche and the 2000 New Jersey Devils.  The top teams are pre-lockout. ...

The Flip Side To Best Teams Pre-Lockout
Kuklas Korner — ... .  This was according to a ranking by Puck Daddy.  I argue that the decline in the quality of elite teams is caused mostly by two factors:  over-expansion of the NHL and the salary cap and current CBA which prevents teams from keeping good teams together.  I argue that this is not a good thing for the NHL.  It reduces the quality of Stanley cup final series (which should be matchups of two elite teams).  I also argue that this is not some equalization procedure to keep big markets from dominating the NHL (afterall the New York ...
