EWB Power Rankings: New York Mets, New York Islanders, New York Giants top the week
We Power Rankings for the 12 teams we cover every Wednesday here at EWB and remarkably, in the last seven days, the New York Mets, New York Islanders, and New York Giants have crawled into the top!
The weekly power rankings are up this weekend and they are topped by maybe three bad team who just had great weeks in the New York Mets, New York Islanders, and New York Giants.
A lot has happened in the last seven days including the basketball teams being dreadful to watch again.
It is tough with four teams now in the offseason, and the Jets basically in offseason mode already.
But, we have a job to do here so the 12 teams we cover need to get ranked based on their relevance, success, failures, mood they put in, etc., from the last seven days.
Without further ado, the EWB New York Power Rankings.
. Previous: 3rd. Mets. 1. team. 3. The Mets! Oh. My. Gosh. What a week it has been. They went from simply being rewarded for doing nothing stupid to being rewarded from pulling themselves back to relevance in a single weekend. The Mets are the talk of baseball this week and it is fantastic for them. The Mets got <a rel=
31. The New York Giants have won three of four games. We are living in some wild times right now. Had the Bears had <a rel=. . Previous: 8th. Giants. 3. team
Knicks. 4. team. 27. Let’s give this ranking to the poor Knicks. They are too important in this city to fall from one to anything lower than this number 4 spot. If anything, they are tanking right again and staying close to the bottom of the East. They had a huge win vs the Bucks and showed a passion and emotion I have not seen. That game on Christmas game vs the Bucks might be the best gift of them all. Too bad nothing crazy or interesting will happen until then.. . Previous: 1st
5. team. 16. The Bills. Yes, to clear things up, we cover the Buffalo Bills, but not the Buffalo Sabres. There would be too much hockey, and not enough football. This is a fair balance. But, I’m not going to get into that. The Bills get the top 5 because<a href=. . Previous: . Josh Allen
95. The New York Rangers are in a bit of a slump. They have not put together a complete game in, and do not play again for what feels like 29483 days. They are falling just out of the playoffs, but will finally have some time off to let teams catch them in games played. Then we can fairly evaluate where they are. David Quinn is doing a respectable job considering we now see how this team lacks deep talent.. . Previous: 2nd. Rangers. 6. team
. Previous: 7th. Yanks. 8. team. 43. I don’t know let’s stick the Yankees somewhere. They are the Yankees. They are 95% good. It has become so difficult to set a standard for them because it is so high. Little tiny moves here and there don’t deserve the kind of relevance they would get if the Mets did them. Exactly like on these rankings. The Yankees did’t overbid for <a rel=
9. team. 147. The poor Netsies have to go somewhere. They are on quite the free fall. They could not even beat the tanking Cavs at home this past week. What a brutal team right now. Unless, they are tanking themselves? But, either way, that is supposed to be for the other team in New York. Kenny Atkinson doesn’t tank, he develops and improves. Oh well. The Nets stink again and are not even the best team in their own building. You know, he BUILDING BUILT FOR THEM IN BROOKLN.. . Previous: 4th. Nets
Devils don’t have great goaltending, hardly any defense, not barely enough bottom six depth, can’t win on the road, can’t put up a fight at home. Yikes.

Well, that is it. Another busy week of New York sports history over and done with and what a week it was.
Even the teams that are in the offseason made splashes this week, even if was a negative one.
The Mets will likely not stay atop the power rankings long and all it takes is one team to have a solid stretch of games.
