Well, LTL-Nation, since I'm not as adept as our LTL as to how he puts together the meta-score data, I'll simplify it and provide my power rankings. Trust me, when it's all said and done, it'll be quite close.
I have the CBJ at the 24th spot - right now, there's not much arguement, to the contrary. To put it in it's most pure form, I take the exerpts, from a text, provided by of one of our LTL-nation peeps. These were the words, overheard, from original CBJ coach, Dave King,
"Keep pushing pucks, down deep...this is a fragile, fragile team".
With that, here are my power rankings:

Now, as mentioned in my article, I do think the CBJ are in transition. No, not in search of an identity - they're still not sure, of that - but, for now, it appears as if they're buying into Hitch's defense-first system. Now, the issue is to win, again, and gain confidence...that's a big IF, as we all know.
