Are the Columbus Blue Jackets for real? They sure look like it. And how about Tampa Bays response after losing Steven Stamkos? The Bolts?simply put their heads down and got to work. Have the Florida Panthers arrived? This weeks Rankings certainly have. Here we go:1. (Last week: 1)?Chicago Blackhawks, 13-4-2The Blackhawks notched wins in Calgary and Vancouver over the weekend as the circus trip rolled on. Chicagos younger forwards are starting to step up.2. (3)?New York Rangers, 13-5-1A home-and-home set with the rival Penguins looms on Monday and Wednesday. Giddy-up.3. (4) Montreal Canadiens, 14-3-2The Habs now have won 12 straight games over the Maple Leafs, but the young Buds are making it tougher on them. Saturdays 2-1 affair was a treat to watch. This age-old rivalry is entering a new phase.4. (5)?Washington Capitals, 11-5-2Has Evgeny Kuznetsov decided to take November off? Hes stuck at just seven points on the season.5. (11)?Tampa Bay Lightning, 12-6-1The surging Bolts can sweep their five-game road trip with a win on Monday night in Nashville. Life without captain Stamkos still will be a challenge, but Tampa Bay has a deep and talented forward group.6. (2)?Pittsburgh Penguins, 11-4-3After getting pasted 7-1 by the Capitals last week and suffering a 2-1 shootout loss at Buffalo, its time for the Penguins to reset. And what better way to get the juices flowing than to face the Rangers twice to kick off the week?7. (15)?Columbus Blue Jackets, 10-4-2The red-hot Jackets are 7-1-1 in November, including wins over Montreal, Anaheim, St. Louis, the Rangers and Washington (twice).8.?(16) St. Louis Blues, 10-6-3The Blues are 8-1-2 at home but just 2-5-1 on the road, where theyll be playing their next two games -- in Boston and Washington, respectively. Its time for St. Louis to get things going away from the friendly confines.9. (7) New Jersey Devils, 9-5-3Life without leading scorer Taylor Hall is going to be tough. The Devils werent exactly an offensive juggernaut with him in the lineup -- and now hell be out 3-4 weeks.10.?(12) Boston Bruins, 11-7-0Since dropping to 3-4-0 on Oct. 26, the Bruins have gone 8-3-0 as they begin to jell and look like a more cohesive unit.11. (19)?Florida Panthers, 10-8-1Have the Panthers arrived? Big wins at the Bell Centre and Madison Square Garden during their recent 3-1-0 road trip suggest so.12.?(8) Ottawa Senators, 10-7-1The Senators have dropped three of four as they get set for a big game on Tuesday night at Montreal. They beat the first-place Habs in a shootout back on Oct. 15.13.?(10) Minnesota Wild, 9-7-1Said a veteran scout to me over the weekend regarding the Wilds 1-0 win over the Bruins last Thursday, in which Devan Dubnyk and Tuukka Rask?each did their thing: That was one of the best goalie duels Ive seen in a long, long time.14.?(17) Los Angeles Kings, 10-9-1The Kings have won three in a row, including an entertaining game Sunday night across town in Anaheim. Peter Budaj keeps answering the bell.15.?(9) Anaheim Ducks, 9-7-3The Ducks, Oilers and Kings are all tied at 21 points in the topsy-turvy Pacific, with the Sharks just two points back. Hold on to your seats; this division is going down to the wire.16.?(6) San Jose Sharks, 9-8-1The Sharks went 3-2-1 on their road trip and now open up a five-game homestand at the Shark Tank, beginning with New Jersey on Monday night. San Jose is only 26th in goals per game and 16th on the power play, which is kind of stunning.17.?(13) Edmonton Oilers, 10-8-1Connor McDavid?had his first NHL career hat trick Saturday in Dallas and will have many more. More important, the Oilers win snapped a five-game losing streak.18. (18) Nashville Predators, 7-7-3Im really intrigued by Monday nights home game for the Predators, with surging Tampa Bay coming to town. About a week ago, it looked like Nashville had turned a corner -- but then the Preds lost games in Toronto and St. Louis, sandwiched around a win in Ottawa.19.?(21) Dallas Stars, 7-7-5The injury-riddled Stars have dropped three of four and just keep sputtering. This is an entertaining?team built to score, but I suggest that Dallas goes back to some defensive basics for a while so it can find some footing.20.?(26) Carolina Hurricanes, 7-6-4The Hurricanes have won four in a row, including decisions over Washington and Montreal. Veteran Cam Ward?has been rock-solid in net for Carolina of late and the Hurricanes have the top-ranked PK in the league.21.?(14) Winnipeg Jets, 9-10-2Just when it looked like the Jets were ready to fly, they dropped the opening three games of their road trip. This team is better than its record.22. (19) Toronto Maple Leafs, 8-7-3The Leafs are third in goals per game and 27th in goals against per game. Theyll get better on the latter as the season goes on.23. (20) Philadelphia Flyers, 8-8-3A Flyers team that has lost five of seven now faces a tough, two-game swing through Florida and Tampa this week.24.?(28) Calgary Flames, 8-11-1Has Chad Johnson taken the No. 1 job from Brian Elliott? Johnson has been in net four consecutive games as the Flames have won three of four.25.?(20) Detroit Red Wings, 8-10-1A win over St. Louis on Oct. 27 improved the Wings to 6-2-0 on the season. Theyve since gone 2-8-1, including four straight losses.26.?(24) Colorado Avalanche, 8-9-0There has been so much focus on the Avs open goalie battle, but the real spotlight should be on the fact that Colorado is just 27th in goals per game.27.?(27) Buffalo Sabres, 6-8-4The Sabres showed real life with a shootout win over the Penguins on Saturday night, which snapped a six-game winless streak. Can they feed off that emotion?28.?(29) Vancouver Canucks, 7-10-2The Canucks blew a 3-0 third period lead Saturday night at home to Chicago in a 4-3 OT loss. Oy. The hits keep on coming.29.?(25) New York Islanders,?5-8-4This summer, John Tavares will be one year away from unrestricted free-agent status. He has always maintained that he wants to be an Islander for life. This is just my opinion, but this season needs to turn around in order for him not to challenge that loyalty.30.?(29) Arizona Coyotes, 6-9-2Mike Smith had 43 saves on Saturday night as the Coyotes snapped a four-game winless streak with an OT win over the Sharks.Adidas Jerseys .

On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.BUDAPEST, Hungary -- The head of Hungarys swimming federation should resign because, among other issues, poor training conditions havent improved, three-time Olympic champion Katinka Hosszu said Tuesday.The federation rejected her claims.Hosszu, coached by American husband Shane Tusup, has clashed with Hungarian officials before. In the latest criticism, she wrote on her Facebook page that federation president Tamas Gyarfas is Hungarian swimmings most harmful factor and rejected his comments that everything was fine between them.Tamas Gyarfas was the first one who said in 2008 that I should quit swimming and retire, said the 27-year-old Hosszu. If it was up to him, Hungary would have returned from the Rio Olympics with three fewer gold medals and one less silver medal.Hosszu also faulted the federation for taking undue credit for the results of Hungarian swimmers; said the organizations decision-making process was undemocratic; and implied that financial pressures were involved in the election of its leadership.They are working to have people believe that there is no life outside the system, Hosszu wrote. This is simply laughable. I myself am the living example that there is life after the Hungarian Swimming Federation. In fact, thats when there really is (life).In a lengthy reply to Hoosszu, the federation said it was baffled by her comments, adding that officials had been unable to have substantive talks with her since October 2015, when they said their relationship deteriorated after Hosszu declined to take part in a promotional video.ddddddddddddThe federations leadership ... is baffled by Katinka Hosszus latest comments, the federation said, while praising her results and denying that Gyarfas had told her to quit in 2008. The accusations in her serious criticism are equally unfounded.While calling it a gift of fate that Hosszu and Tusup had met, the federation said swimming officials and competition organizers were increasingly critical of Tusups behavior, with most clashes occurring due to financial conflicts.Professionalism is fully recognized in the sporting world, but Shane Tusups behavior and style have become increasingly unacceptable in world swimming, the federation said.Hosszu won three gold medals and a silver medal at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics in August, holds several world records in individual medleys and was named FINA female swimmer of the year in 2014 and 2015.Budapest will host swimmings world championships in 2017.
