Pittsburgh Penguins—This team should be a permanent fixture in the Stumblin’ section. They’ve lost 18 games in a row, and 14 in a row at home. The Penguins have not won since January 12 at Philadelphia, and have not won at home since December 29, when they hosted the equally dismal Chicago Blackhawks.

New York Rangers—Apparently, trading for superstar Jaromir Jagr and his $11 million salary wasn’t the right answer. The team is 4-8 since acquiring Jagr, and has fallen to 13 points out of a playoff spot. If the team misses the playoffs, it will mark the seventh consecutive year of futility for the team. Despite Steinbrenner-like spending the Rangers have been unable to get the job done, and in the shadow of the Yankees success all those in the Rangers organization better be mindful of that their jobs are never secure, especially in New York.
