Are the NYR the worst team in the NHL?

It's only been a 9 games but their metrics thus far are among the worst 5 on 5 team of any team since 2007 (393 teams) ...

CF%: 392/393

Expected goals for %: .392

xGF v xGA per 60: 271/393 

I don't want to over react but it's not pretty and with Zibanejad out I see now way this team ices a competitive product ... 

The kings, wild, senators, and red wings all looking pretty rough. It is really early yet still. You never know the blues looked like the worst team in the NHL for a good part of last season and went on to be champs. Hockey is a streaky sport and small sample sizes should not overreacted to.

The Rangers' roster outside of Zibanejad, Panarin, and Trouba are basically all replacement level / minor leaguers 

The New York Rangers and New York Knicks are owned by the biggest piece of excrement in the sports world. The Garden is sold out for every game ether team plays so the billionaire doesn't give a rats azz how good the teams do. He hired Glen Sather to run the Rangers years ago and they went downhill from there. Messier quit because of Sather and the scum owner. IMO Messier is the GM the Rangers always needed but sadly it will never happen.

Apprently not after the beatdown they gave to Tampa bay tonight 

The Hawks and Rangers both suck but the Rangers are way way way way worse 

Dangerboy chirping a thread that made no mention of a pick but was a general thought the morning after he bets on the Flyers and Sharks who get beat by a combined score of 12-2 .. comical
