Top Ten Worst Teams of the 2019-2020 NHL Season
This season has led to some very disappointing teams. And also some teams that were predicted to be crap, and are crap. Sadly, the Habs will make it into this list. :( At least they might get Lafreniere. Anyways (I'm getting sidetracked), what team is in your eyes the worst team of the 2019-2020 NHL season.
The Detroit Red Wings are a professional ice hockey team based in Detroit, Michigan. They are members of the Atlantic Division in the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League and are one of the Original Six teams of the league. The Red Wings are on pace to have 50 points at the end of the season, which is an embarrassingly low number. I feel it's quite safe to say that they will finish last in the league. But who knows.
We might be looking at the future team of Lafreniere. I hope not, I don't need any more competition for my Habbies.
They are brutally tanking in historic numbers giving up goals on consistent nights. It will take a little bit for the Red Wings to return to their glory days.
The Los Angeles Kings are a professional ice hockey team based in Los Angeles, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. To think that 10 years ago they were Cup contenders and then Cup winners. It's not that hard to believe, but it is weird. I wonder what Drew Doughty would've thought back then. Lol.
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. It's even weirder to think that the Senators almost made it to the finals three years back, and now their utter crap. So sad, I was hardcore cheering for them back then. The Sens would be a great fit for Lafreniere, but again, I hope that doesn't happen.
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, New Jersey and took their current name. For their first 25 seasons in New Jersey, the Devils were based at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford and played their home games at Brendan Byrne Arena (later renamed to Continental Airlines Arena). Before the 2007–08 season, the Devils moved ...read more. Even when they still had Taylor Hall at the beginning of the season, they were pretty bad. But now that they're without him, they are even worse. They've been bouncing around too much recently. But they did get some good picks in return for Hall. Let's see where they go from here.
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. Anaheim is doing much worse than I expected so far this year, though they did trade Perry. It's really weird for me seeing them so crappy. But I'm happy, I hated them for dominating the Flames for so many years.
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. They had such a great start to the season, why did it have to go so wrong!? They're just way too up and down this year, 8 game winning streak, 8 game losing streak, and then repeat. It's so annoying! But I'm pretty sure that they're out of the playoff race. The Atlantic is just way too strong, you have to be a really good team to make the playoffs in the Atlantic at the moment. I'm hoping they keep losing games and end up getting Lafreniere. I know that that's major wishful thinking, but what else can you do when your team stinks. Sorry my Habbies, but you not doing anything this year. Go Habs Go!
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. This one has been a long time coming. They definitely have some great talent on the team, but they just don't have enough, especially with Dubnyk not playing as well as he used to. Though, I feel in a few years they'll be back up and kicking.
The New York Rangers are a professional ice hockey team based in New York City. They compete in the National Hockey League (NHL) as a member of the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference. The team plays its home games at Madison Square Garden in the borough of Manhattan, an arena they share with the New York Knicks of the National Basketball Association (NBA). They are one of three NHL teams located in the New York metropolitan area; the others being the New Jersey Devils and New York Islanders. They're doing a bit better than I thought, bit they're still doing pretty lame. Lundqvist is getting a bit too old to play like he used to, and they have lost a lot of great players over the past couple years.
The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose, California. They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League. Now, this is by far the most disappointing team of the 2019-2020 NHL season. What is up with them? Yes, I guess Martin Jones isn't the greatest goalie, but Karlsson, Burns, Couture, Kane, Hertl, Meier! That's a lot of great talent. I think this is just a temporary hump for them, they'll get over it, but they better do it fast if they want to make the playoffs!
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. As of writing this, they're 17th in the league! How? I'm quite impressed, but how could it last. I don't think it will. But who knows? I just don't get how they can be doing so well after losing Bobrovsky and Panarin. I guess they do have Korpisalo, he's playing great.
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 "Battle of Pennsylvania". The club is owned by Mario Lemieux and Ronald Burkle, who purchased the Penguins in 1999 and brought the club out of bankruptcy.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
