SI.com NHL Power Rankings - How They Stack Up After Week 6

NHL Power Rankings: Red hot Rangers bump Canadiens from top spot

4. Los Angeles Kings

• A couple of lackluster performances against Arizona and Columbus aside, the Kings have been terrific during their recent 11-3 run. Both Dustin Brown and Marian Gaborik scored this past week. With a five-game road trip commencing this week, a little offense from those slumping veterans would go a long way.

17. Anaheim Ducks

• Looks like the Ducks haven’t found their stroke quite yet, although there are some encouraging signs. Ryan Getzlaf finally scored his first of the season (albeit into an empty net) and doghouse denizen Carl Hagelin broke out with a three-point night in a 4–1 win over the ’Canes on Monday. Now if they can just get goaltender Frederik Andersen (eight goals allowed on his last 56 shots) back on track. 

18. San Jose Sharks

• That 2–1 victory over the Sabres on Saturday night wasn't just the Sharks’ first in Buffalo in a decade. It marked their first consecutive wins since their four game streak that opened this season.

I'm A JDM Fanboy At Heart

6 Reasons Why I'm A Massive JDM Fanboy

The car world is a brilliantly diverse place, with scenes to suit all tastes. Everyone has their own reasons for liking what they do, so I decided to lay out what it is about Japanese cars that I love so much

2. Japan introduced the West to reliability

Before the Japanese started selling cars in Europe, it was just accepted that cars didn’t work properly. They were complicated contraptions with hundreds and thousands of moving parts, so of course they broke down all the time. Then the Japanese came along with cars that could actually get you to your destination at the first attempt, and would even start in the cold.

The first Japanese car to go on sale in the UK was the Daihatsu Compagno in 1965, but only six were sold over its five year run. The notoriously Brit-biased Autocar did describe it as ‘essentially well made, but technically unadvanced’, and while this was intended to be rather derogatory, it was this philosophy that ultimately struck a chord with consumers. So while the Compagno may have failed, it paved the way for the likes of the Toyota Corolla and every other Japanese car that’s been successful here.

4. It's all about variety

You could potentially argue this about any scene, but in my opinion nowhere makes such a tantalising array of different takes on performance. Growing up I was obsessed with the Mitsubishi Evo and Subaru Impreza rally conquests, before my head was turned by the drift scene darlings of Nissan’s S-Chassis cars. Then there’s the performance of the Toyota Supra and the technological masterpiece that is every generation of Nissan Skyline GT-R. Rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, front-engined, mid-engined… there’s literally something for everyone.

I'd Rather Have A Better Driving One

WHO'd You Rather? Would You Rather Have A More Tech-Enabled Vehicle Or A Better Driving One?

Essentially, what I am asking is "Does technology make a worse-driving vehicle?"

You can attribute invasive traction control, four wheel steering, electric power-assisted steering, and much more to this. Whether or not the answer to the above is yes or no, I think we have to ask ourselves the following:

WHICH would YOU rather have? A more tech-enabled vehicle that will do more for you and have the latest technology OR a vehicle that is back-to-basics and a better driver's car?

So That's Where This Stupid Idea Originated From

The “tradition” of spending several months salary on an engagement ring was a marketing campaign created by De Beers in the 1930’s. Before WWII, only 10% of engagement rings contained diamonds. By the end of the 20th Century, 80% did.
