All Teams Since 05-06 Lockout with 1 or Fewer Wins Through 8 Games and Season Results

[Dirty but Good]

Did a little research trying to find some hope despite the 1-7-0 start, came up empty.

2013-14 Flyers : Started (1-7-0) Finished ???
2013-14 Devils : Started (0-4-3) Finished ???
2013-14 Sabres: Started (1-6-1) Finished ???
2013-14 Oilers: Started (1-6-1) Finished ???
2010-11 Blue Jackets: Started (0-7-1) Finished (29-46-7) 15th in West
2010-11 Canadians: Started (1-5-2) Finished (31-35-16) 15th in East
2009-10 Maple Leafs: Started (0-7-1) Finished (30-38-14) 15th in East
2009-10 Islanders: Started (1-4-4) Finished (34-47-11) 13th in East
2007-08 Thrashers: Stated (1-7-0) Finished (34-40-8) 14th in East
2006-07 Flyers : Started (1-6-1) Finished (22-48-12) 15th in East
2005-06 Penguins : started (0-3-4) Finished (22-46-14) 15th in East

What are the chances of bucking the tread??

Also four teams have 1 or fewer loses? Amazing

Ekblad will look pretty good in a flyers jersey, that's for sure

 

[RoDu]

hang on to those draft picks, might need em

 

[Flyerss]

The problem is if the offense continue to suck are we going to draft Ekblad or a forward

 

[Harold Bingo]

Don't worry guys, they'll go on a 10 game winning streak at the end of the season to go from drafting in the top 3 to 10-14th.

 

[Flyerss]

here you go guys Ekblad playoffs mode, reminds me of Burns

Without doing any research myself, what's the scouting report on Ekblad? NHL player comparison?

Once the playoffs are out of reach and the pressure is off, I fully expect this team to play 0.500 hockey and kill draft position.

You should've put his head on a defenseman so it would look more realistic.

Actually very similar to Alex Pietrangelo IMO.

 

[Striiker]

How deep is this draft looking? I know the top few are supposedly weaker than last year but how does the rest of the 1st round look? At this rate we might end up trading some people at the deadline and could end up with more than one 1st round pick.

This is what I'm hoping.

This draft is harder to predict than last years. There are a lot of guys who are looking like they may rise quite a bit this season. Things could get interesting.

Timonen for 1st
Coburn for 1st
Grossmann + 2nd for 1st
Hartnell for 1st
Simmonds for 1st + prospect

Make it happen, Homer.

I really hope so. It kills me to see this team lose so if they're going to be bad I just need the draft to make it worth something. I could picture them with like 3 first round picks this year if they keep this up.

he was granted exceptional status by the OHL that should tell you something

a big, mobile, puck-moving,excellent skater, hard-shooting,PPQ defenseman. he can do everything.

+ he's a Canadian with Swedish ancestry: mix of Karlsson and Weber

Timonen for 1st
Coburn for 1st

Coburn for a bag of pucks is a stretch right now

 

[Harold Bingo]

Perfect.

Alright, may the tank begin. We need some catchy slogans now.

that's coburn i chosed him because they have the same height and number

 

[Striiker]

I know lol, that was the joke.

 

[Harold Bingo]

I know lol, that was the joke.

I laughed when I read it.

Maybe Coburn's playing so poorly so no teams will be interested in trading for him.

 

[Flyerss]

I know lol, that was the joke.

dammit i knew it, but since coburn don't usually wear the A i thought you got it wrong.

i hope i didn't jinx him.

 

[Striiker]

Haha yeah I made sure to look close at the number on his arms to make sure it was him before posting and looking like an idiot.

 

[Winston Wolf]

Yeah, the Flyers chances aren't great, however, comparing this year to prior years is kind of moot with the new division set up. If they were in any other division in the league, I'd agree that the chances of coming back are almost non-existent, but there's not really a good team in the Metropolitan division outside of Pittsburgh and to a much lesser extent, the Islanders. They still have a lot of games against the Devils, Rangers, Blue Jackets, Hurricanes, and Capitals. If they can do very well in division play, they can get the third seed in the division.

I think we can get a 1st out of him to the right team, probably at the trade deadline.

I'm holding out long shot hope too. A string of a three or four wins and they may never be looking back. This isn't a 48 game season, it's 82 games. But facts don't look good.
