Kelowna Rockets ranked #2 in the BMO CHL Top 10 Rankings.

A lot of people tell you that the BMO CHL Top 10 rankings are a complete joke, and misleading to what is really happening around the league, and for the most part, I agree.  The standings don't take into account travel, roster depletion, or schedule, it is solely, for the most part, based off season records.

This week, the Kelowna Rockets jumped from #3 spot in the CHL to #2.  This can be seen as fantastic and rubbish at the same time.  It's amazing that the club moved up a spot, but lame that it wasn't to #1 after sweeping an eastern division trip that saw the team play 6 games in 8 nights.  It's difficult to win all 6 games of an eastern road trip by itself, but with only 2 rest days and over 3000 kilometers traveled on the Iron Lung, is almost completely unheard of.

So yes, I am happy the Rockets moved up a spot in the Top 10, but am head over heels ecstatic about it, shouting from the hills that the club is Memorial Cup bound?  Not even a little bit.
