If they are the Coyotes or Sabres, that's a pretty good indication.

Character guys i guess? Canucks suck but we give teams a hard time by giving it our all out there. Some teams give up and are known to give up. Avs last year. and years before.

Bad coach.

Jets have a bad coach but with our talent they are winning despite that fact.

Seems legit. Universe is like I'm going to punish you for being awful by making you continue to suck.

Odds seem to always be wrong going into every season. See Vegas, they had one of the lowest odds of all. Edmonton had one of the five highest odds going into the season.

It's just as difficult to pick the worst team as it is the best team. Also, when it comes to sports, people put far too much stock into whether or not they like a team to make accurate picks.
