Follow @james_tanner123 The last place Coyotes have 19 points.
Only three other NHL teams are still in the 20s. The Sabres have a four point lead with two games in hand. That is a possible eight point difference between 30th and 31st. Considering the parity of the NHL, that is insane.
Ten teams have as many wins as the Coyotes have points.
They have a -44 goal differential. Ignore Buffalo, and the next worst team (ranked 29th) is Florida with a -20. They are more than doubling the 29th worst goal differential. Don't think about it too much or you'll hurt your mind.
Other than four exceptions, every team in the NHL has more than double the Coyotes win total.
The Coyotes have the NHL's third worst possession stats 46.58.
The 33.47 shots/60 they allow is significantly better than the Blackhawks, but otherwise within .4 of being 30th.
At least the Hawks counter their high shots against by being a league leader in shots for. The Coyotes? Not so much. They are third worst.
The Coyotes are the NHL's lowest scoring 5v5 team.
They are 31st in goals-against/60 and 30th in goals-for/60.
They are so bad, no sane person could support them. Just when you think you've hit rock bottom, you find out rock bottom would actually be a relief by comparison to whatever the hell this is. It would be better for everyone involved if they just forfeited the rest of the schedule and went home.
You'll never guess which team has the 4th most short-handed goals scored against them?
On the bright side, the Coyotes do have some of the best penalty-killing in the NHL. Which I guess is like getting a limo ride when you haven't eaten in six days.
The Coyotes are a oozing pile of raw sewage masquerading as a hockey team. There is no getting around the fact that they suck. They flat-out suck.
They are to winning as herpes is to a first date.
There is only one category they have any hope in hell of leading the NHL in this year: number of coaches fired. Currently they are tied with 30 other teams at zero, but I'd like to see them get to at least one.
Hell, I'm not picky, hire someone else and fire him too!
