Record for futility

Hi all, not a dynasty report, but single season. In replaying the 1972-73 historical NHL season, the expansion Atlanta Flames finished 1-77-0 for a whopping 2 pts. They trailed the division leading Blackhawks by a mere 119 points.

My California Golden Seals finished just ahead of Atlanta in that division, with a respectable 70 pts.

Atlanta's "attack" had 4 double-digit goal scorers, led by 40 year old Andy Bathgate with 13.

Other noteworthy stats:

1.35 G/G
6.24 GA/G
14.19 S/G
52.56 SA/G

And if that wasn't bad enough, 4 players had +/- of worse than -100!

Didn't check to see if coach or GM got fired, though...seemed pointless. But I did hear the owner ran away and joined the circus after the season.

I suppose from that point, things can only get better.
