It's been cold in Minnesota and it just got colder: per Elo Montréal overtook the Frost for the top spot in the PWHL.
I also improved the Elo history chart to better show the off-season gap and fixed a bug that stopped me from updating the numbers for a couple days. Sorry for the delay!
My Elo ratings still think Minnesota are the best PWHL team, but the story of the season has to be Montréal surging. La Victoire and the Frost have separated themselves from the pack. Can they keep it up? Might they see each other in the Finals?
In programming notes, I reworked the data pipeline so it's easier to update. Math is the same. I've been building this plane as I've been flying it, but now I should be able to keep it up to date every day.
Current Elo of PWHL teams! Minnesota still on top but has dipped. Montréal has been surging. Toronto continues to slide. More here ericjohannes.github.io/pwhl-elo/
