NHL “Experts” Blog?

So, just doing my daily perusal of some hockey articles and I came across NHL “expert” Ross McKeon’s Power Rankings. Ironically, the brilliant McKeon has the Anaheim Ducks as #1.

http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news?slug=rm-nhlpower030408&prov=yhoo&type=lgns

Ironic how? It got me thinking about an article he wrote a few weeks back where he claimed that the Ducks are unlikely to MAKE IT to the playoffs, I sent him an E-Mail after I read the article asking him where he got this expertise and gave him a few kind words, including a comparison to Kara Yorio and I queried on where they find such “expert” writers for Yahoo Hockey articles.
So, after reading his flip-flop today, I set out to the McKeon archives to remind me of how inept this guy was..mysteriously it was missing from the archives…..but Bob dug deeper and found it hidden.
Let’s review his thoughts of 1 month ago-http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/blog/nhl_experts/post/A-lame-Duck-return?urn=nhl,63999&post_comment=1&success
By his math, they now only need 12 points in their last 14 games……….so less than .500 hockey.
