Has to be the Sabres. Didn't expect them to make the playoffs in that division, but christ. 17 losses in a row is a disappointment even if it were Ottawa or Detroit...
Reminds me of the A's montage in moneyball.. "replay these games a hundred times and nobody loses 17 straight again.. I mean it just defies everything we know about hockey".
The age of parity and the team just functionally cant win a game. Actively throwing games away with 3-0 leads. This just cannot happen in the current NHL. Even if they were projected to be worst in the league before the season, i would pick them here.
