Top 10 Worst NHL Teams

Awful NHL teams that have only fans from that area.
The Top Ten
1 Florida Panthers The Florida Panthers are an American professional ice hockey team based in the Miami metropolitan area.

Why the panthers suck.

#1 what the hell does a panther have to do with the nhl?

#2 they're from Florida dude.

#3 tampa and Florida is the same place. And part of the state and country. They're both from Florida. So I do not know how a tampa fan can dislike the panthers.

#4 nobody down there knows a living about hockey. Maybe field hockey but not ice hockey.

#5 they are a retarded mistake by gary bettman.

#6 people in Florida only know about football. They only know about the NFL not the NHL.

#7 hockey does not belong there. Hockey belongs up in edmonton calgary vancouever minnisota and Colorado.

#8 why in the living OH-MY GOD! Does B.C have 1 team but Florida has 2 when the panthers don't know about hockey and do not give a flying crap.

And yeah. The panthers and the lightning are a stupid mistake. Case dismissed.

Do you know what pisses me off the most? the florida panthers playing against the tampa bay lightning. I mean they are the same damn thing. Florida does not even deserve an nhl team. They have terrible attendence. A team in quebec city would do nicely though. And also Florida has a team named after a state and a team named after a city in the same state and you got that right tampa is in florida. I mean it's just depressing. This team is just disgusting.

2 Arizona Coyotes

I love they Cyotes, I really do, but this team just sucks, every time I watch a Cyotes game I already know that they are going to lose, they are that bad.

They were awesome when they were the Jets and everyone in Winnipeg still liked them, but they moved for no reason?
HORRIBLE TEAM!

Bettman is struggling to keep this team in arizona when they barely attract fans. Also they are the worst team in the league. And the Oilers are getting better.

3 Toronto Maple Leafs The Toronto Maple Leafs, officially the Toronto Maple Leaf Hockey Club and often simply referred to as the Leafs, are a professional ice hockey team based in Toronto, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

Once I was at a Caps home game and they were playing Toronto. I spotted for Toronto fans, and guess how many I found? 2. Just 2. One was the guy above us, and I could tell that he hated the Caps. ( I'm a Caps fan by the way.) Anyway, in the game, Toronto just cared about winning. They couldn't care less about penalties. I think the Caps had about 9 powerplays. They even had a 2- man advantage. That's how bad the Leafs are.

The leafs are hands down the worst team in the nhl history they haven't won a championship since 1967! Everything about Toronto is bad and always will be! They just can't do anything right. Any player who plays there is wasting their carrier! Enough said.

Terrible trades. They trade Seguin and Rask to Boston and get Kessel and they trade Kessel to Pittsburgh a few years later anyway and in Kessel's first year in Pittsburgh, they win a Cup? Thanks a lot Toronto.

4 Columbus Blue Jackets The Columbus Blue Jackets are a professional ice hockey team based in Columbus, Ohio. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The Blue Jackets were founded as an expansion team in 2000.

Bad coaches, bad front office, bad fan base. COMPETING with Ohio State athletics= loosing proposition.

No success over the years. Don't think they're ever going to make the playoffs this decade.

They suck hard. enough said I think. Just wonder how much does the winning games cost.

5 Edmonton Oilers The Edmonton Oilers are a professional ice hockey team based in Edmonton, Alberta. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Most embarrassing team in last ten years got lucky in 05 with Rollie standing on his head like no other while getting outplayed outshot like 55-10 almost every game what a joke!

Okay this list needs to be updated. The Oilers are doing great. Supports Alberta's NHL teams Oilers Flames are both awesome. Screw the panthers.

Worst logo, worst players, worst coach, worst fans, worst gm, worst arena, worst everything! I'm gonna make a list of "Top 10 Things That Should Happen To The Edmonton Oilers

6 Boston Bruins The Boston Bruins are a professional ice hockey team based in Boston, Massachusetts. The Bruins compete in the National Hockey League as a member club of the league's Eastern Conference Atlantic Division.

Having a trouble start so far after losing to a lot of teams Edmonton was hard but Tampa bay today will be hard

The bruins are really bad just because they won the cup 6 times does not mean they are good.

Bruins suck and their fans are racist if the go to the Stanley cup again don't go for them.

7 Calgary Flames The Calgary Flames are a professional ice hockey team based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The Flames are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

They suck so bad that in my school everyone chants "FLAMES SUCK FLAMES SUCK" over and over again. The oilers have won the cup 5 times while the FLAMES have won it once and they were founded in the same year. I hate the FLAMES

The guy that said they should get kicked out makes my blood boil. If you hate them think they should be banished forever then go go hell.

Hate them. They have the worst fan base ever and They just play dirty. Wish they could be kicked out of the NHL and banished forever.

8 Vancouver Canucks The Vancouver Canucks are an ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Honestly, I don't even know what Vancouver is doing anymore. Ever since their 2011 riots, the fanbase has been full of crap. Same with the players.

Another drawback is their terrible sportsmanship and showboating. These guys LOVE to showboat, and when they do, it's a big deal to them (rarely any game wins anymore). Sportsmanship to other teams has been trash too.

They can stay here, because Canadians love hockey, but at least have some improvement over those things.

Fans always boast about the mediocre cansucks. Lol had chances to win cups and choked both times. Glad they did. Such losers these fickle fans are

Always brag about their one win and jump off when they lose their next game

9 Pittsburgh Penguins The Pittsburgh Penguins (colloquially known as the Pens) are a professional ice hockey team based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Penguins are one of two NHL franchises in Pennsylvania, the other being the Philadelphia Flyers. The cities' proximity has led to a rivalry known as the... read more

Penguins are horrible so is crosby and the rest all because crosby scores it does not mean his the best like datsyuk. Datsyuk is actually fun to watch all of the great moves and stickhandling he does. And penguins have suck a dumb name and they only one 3 cups and wings one 11. Redwings rule and penguins don't t crosbaby and malkin and Neal and Orpik and all the rest. goo reeddwwinngss

The penguins lost to the bruins ha ha boston better than this stupid cheater team I hate them

Penguins are best. Just because they have won only 3 stanley cups doesn't mean the suck

10 Winnipeg Jets The Winnipeg Jets are a professional ice hockey team based in Winnipeg, Manitoba. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Good so far in the season I watch the game against the golden knights they beat them so good they have good goalies connor hellbuck and steve mason and I love Brian little and tyler myers

Winnipeg Jets? You Mean Winnipig Jets. These boys are bad! Come on, they moved because they had like 200 fans each game in atlanta and that won't change in winnipeg.

They are a stupid team that replaced Atlanta for no reason. Why couldn't you have picked a bad team to replace!

The Contenders
11 New York Islanders The New York Islanders are a professional ice hockey team based in the New York metropolitan area. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.

Not many teams could say that they have won 4 cups in a row, and 19 playoff series (which is still an NHL record). Also, the isles are home to great players such as Mike Bossy, Brian Trottier, Clark Gillies, Dennis Potvin, John Tavares, Pierre Turgeon, Ray Ferraro, Pat Lafontaine, and many more. Should be #30 not #7.

1. Off their our 3 teams in New York State 2. Off both Rangers and islanders have won 4 cups each,but Rangers have been in since1926 and islanders, sometime in the 70s. In my conclusion the rangers are way worse

If New York gets two teams I want Vancouver to get two teams in fact why doesn't every city get 2 teams for the NHL?

12 Anaheim Ducks The Anaheim Ducks are a professional ice hockey team based in Anaheim, California. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference. Since their inception, the Ducks have played their home games at the Honda Center.

This is my least favorite nhl team, they seem to keep having stupid comebacks over my favorite team except the last game when my favorite team shut out them, but 4 times in 1 year and a half I see then have comebacks, I hope they miss the playoffs next time my team makes it and if they are in the playoffs hopefully they don't play my team

Man they gave me another heart attack again in the last minute, tie it, at least, it was a no goal and my team still won, jeez this team needs to go

This team sucks, not looking forward to see them play my favorite team, I rather have he sharks and kings play than the ducks, wish they would go to ahl

13 Ottawa Senators The Ottawa Senators (French: Sénateurs d'Ottawa) are a professional ice hockey team based in Ottawa, Ontario. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference. The Senators play their home games at the 18,652-seat Canadian Tire Centre, which opened in 1996 as the Palladium.

I went to a hurricanes game and they played Ottawa and the hurricanes be them bad and why does people think this team is good. I think they were good last year but not this year

In 2009/10 they were 5th seed in playoffs. 2010/11 they were not IN playoffs. How do they manage to have guys like daniel alfredson who set RECORDS and get the 12th seed? I'm outta ideas.

Ottawa Senators are great they just did not have the time to win the cup I know they will win it soon.

14 Tampa Bay Lightning The Tampa Bay Lightning are a professional ice hockey team based in Tampa, Florida. It is a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League. The Lightning have three Stanley Cup championships in their history, in 2003-04, 2019-20, and 2020-21.

Tampa is a good team although panthers make no sense and people need to stop saying we know nothing about hockey just because it's hot and humid here we actually teach a lot of hockey

They cheated to win the Stanley Cup this year and defeated the Canadiens when they could've won again. Screw you Lightning!

They won the cup. And they won the Eastern Conference twice. This should be #18 on the list

15 Buffalo Sabres The Buffalo Sabres are a professional ice hockey team based in Buffalo, New York. They are members of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League (NHL).

The Sabres are rebuilding themselves and getting better players. Hopefully, the 2015-2016 season will be a better one. They've had there bad days, just like every other team, but a lot more of 'em. I think in a few years they will progress and eventually make a name for themselves. But yes, the way they have played the last few seasons, they needed to be on this list. All we can do now is hope!

Terrible team. Great marketing department with Sabres. They suck the fans in for a mediocre, at best, team that brags about coming so close to capitalizing on scoring chances. Just an absolutely poor excuse below average players...

For all the people that says the Buffalo Sabres suck just remember they have the most prospects out of any team, so just wait a few years till they beat your favorite teams.

16 New Jersey Devils The New Jersey Devils are a professional ice hockey team based in Newark, New Jersey. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The club was founded as the Kansas City Scouts in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1974. The Scouts moved to Denver, Colorado in 1976 and became the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, they moved to East Rutherford,... read more

There good what is wrong with you guys they are my favorite but in top 30 they should place 11 they almost made the playoffs 18nth behind Washington and colombus

A no hit no spirit team. They need a leader with passion. Passing up Lemieux in the draft will come back to haunt them. Bob

They didn't pass on Lemieux, the Pens tanked their season to get him in the draft over the Devs.

17 Dallas Stars The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.
18 Washington Capitals The Washington Capitals (colloquially known as the Caps) are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The Capitals are owned by Monumental Sports & Entertainment, headed by Ted Leonsis. From 1974 to 1997 the Capitals played their home games at the Capital Centre, in... read more

Another team I hate with a passion. The oilers flames canadiens and blackhawks are better then this stupid team. I hate the ones from the southern states way more though. thank god the cup has never been to washington before. The blackhawks and avalanche are the only two americans teams I like. the other 98% can kiss my ass.

I don't like this team that much and I was thinking when I was a kid in this team only politicians are playing for this team because the name capitals

How is Washington in this list, they have only not made the playoffs once in the last 10 years, they have multiple division titles and president trophies

19 Nashville Predators The Nashville Predators are a professional ice hockey team based in Nashville, Tennessee. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Nashville is my favorite team. Not many teams can go against the Ducks and actually beat them. The Hawks are a great team and Nashville almost beat them in the playoffs last year. They just need to improve a bit and they may become a force to be reckoned with.

I am only voting for this team so that I can put my comment above the Leafs. Whoever said that they have "no fans" knows nothing about what they are talking about and are probably not even real hockey fans to even suggest such a ridiculous thing! The Leafs have one of the most withe-spread, most loyal (in all of professional sports) fanbases. The other guy who says thank you for Seguin in exchange for Kessel, you're welcome. We have 2013's 7th highest leading scorer and you have 2012's 59th highest.

They are amazing they outplayed the penguins in the stanley cup the Preds truly are one of the best teams in the Nhl if not the best

20 Minnesota Wild The Minnesota Wild are a professional ice hockey team based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League.

Awful. They have the second best goaltender in the league. He's a Vezina trophy finalist. They also have Zach Parise who had over 30 goals in the regular season. I do not understand why they are on this list.

Huge success for a team that started in 2000. Sold out crowds even during the four losing season in there history.

This team is pathetic. If they were playing in my backyard I wouldn't waste my time watching.

21 Atlanta Thrashers

They eat ass, they xheated in 16-17 playoffs against the blues, they should all put rocks in there pockets and go into the sea, should be called the prey

Terrible team who doesn't even play any more. Atlanta Hockey fails again

The Atlanta thrashers have not made the playoffs for a long time

22 Colorado Avalanche The Colorado Avalanche are a professional ice hockey team based in Denver, Colorado. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. The Avalanche and Coyotes are the only two teams in their division not based in the Central Time Zone; the teams are situated in the Mountain Time Zone.

Umm... 10 to 1 loss vs Montreal!?! Worse then the Arizona Coyotes! Well at least the Arizona Coyotes aren't at the bottom of the league again.

This team cheat to win round 1, by tyimg it late in the 3rd and winning in overtime, in game 2 and 4, I hope they don't win the stanley cup

This is my 2nd least favorite team since the 2019 playoffs they are the worst

23 Chicago Blackhawks The Chicago Blackhawks are a professional ice hockey team based in Chicago, Illinois. They are members of the Central Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. They have won six Stanley Cup championships since their founding in 1926.

I do not care about them. I only like Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane. I like Toews better though. and I do not care about scott darling. I like Duncan Keith a little but. toews and kane are better hockey players and scott darling is not the greatest goalie of all time it is carey price so get used to it. I like the blackhawks a little bit though.

You messed with the wrong Blackhawks fan scott darling is a beast he is better then any other goalie you ever have if saw game 1 Blackhawks vs predators you will regret what you said you are just jealous that your will never be as good as scout darling ok

WAY BETTER WAY!

All other NHL teams suck, but the Hawks are the greatest team ever. Best roster, best stadium, best city, best fans, best popcorn and merchandise, if you're hating, your just jealous. 6 time cup champions.

24 Carolina Hurricanes The Carolina Hurricanes are a professional ice hockey team based in Raleigh, North Carolina. They are members of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.

This year, 2016, Carolina hurricanes are the worse team. There in last place. HA! Hurricane fans. No offense. I know other people think this team is great, but how about other people's perspective?

Boi Carolina is moving up they really don't suck

Worst team ever

25 Montreal Canadiens The Montreal Canadiens (French: Les Canadiens de Montréal) are a professional ice hockey team based in Montreal, Quebec. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

Their fans never stop talking about the number of titles they have, but they are absolute garbage now and haven't won a single cup in the 21st century. One last point against them, they're in Quebec. Frenchies. (Go Wings by the way)

This team is better then anyone elses they one the cup like 24 times you are just jealous because you are a panthers fan and your team will never win a stanley cup 24 times

Last place in the east this year. They Suck! The habs only won lots of stanley cups in the olden days, but the past is the past, no?
