NHL Elo Ratings a/o 11/17/2011

In continuing with the Elo ratings for the NHL, my personal favorite of Washington continues their decline from their once vaunted 1st place. The NY Rangers have actually taken the #1 slot for this week. For those of you familiar with the Elo system, the specifics I am using are Starting Value = 200, Floor = 0, K-value = 32(for ratings less than 2100), Results (1=win, 0=loss, 0.5=overtime/shootout loss).
