If a picture is worth 1,000 words, certainly a single tweet has the magical ability to sum up a week in the life of your favourite hockey club. #CurrentMood

The past seven days in the NHL have seen several teams take baby steps up the ladder and a change of our front-runner.

Partly because we live in short-attention-span times and mostly because we’re trying to postpone the onset of our own carpal tunnel syndrome, we’ve distilled the state of all 31 franchises into a single tweet.

It’s our first-ever NHL Power Rankings: Your Team in a Tweet Edition.
