The Arizona Coyotes are 2-14-3 on the season.

They have just seven points 19 games into the season.

It’s been a very difficult start to the season for the club, which is on pace for just 30 points this season…which would be one of the worst seasons in NHL history.

NHL pundits haven’t been afraid to discuss the team’s terrible start to the season.

Here’s what they are saying about the Arizona Coyotes:

Wall Street Journal: For the Arizona Coyotes, It’s Been a Run of Bad Puck

Eric Eisenberg writes: “Nearly six weeks into the season, the Arizona Coyotes are remarkably still looking for their first win in regulation. At just 2-14-3, Arizona is on pace for just 30 points over a full 82-game schedule, which would represent the sport’s worst record in a generation. It took 12 games for the team to get a win of any sort, on a goal with just 15 seconds left in overtime against the Philadelphia Flyers. Their second victory came five nights later in a shootout over the Carolina Hurricanes.”

realsport101.com: Dismal start may mean changes are coming

William Grigsby writes: “What hasn’t seemed to occur just yet, is a losing culture which was on display a few seasons ago when the team fell to historic depths of failure finishing with a mere 58 points. If one were to project their season-ending record at the pace they are currently following, it wouldn’t be pretty. Try 30 points. They are currently at a .184 winning percentage. That doesn’t bring fans out to the arena to watch a hockey game. If this team wants to attract new fans, as the new owner Andrew Barroway stated, they had better start winning. Nothing brings fans through the turnstiles like winning. Conversely, nothing keeps them away from the arena like losing.”

Kevin Allen writes: “With the personnel that the Coyotes have on the blue line, they should not be giving up almost four goals per game.”

Cody Benjamin writes: “Somehow, six regulation losses in their past 10 games actually seems like a step forward.”

NBC Sports: These Coyotes are really something

Adam Gretz writes:  “In their first 19 games of the season the Arizona Coyotes have exactly zero wins in regulation. Their only two wins, as of Monday, coming by way of overtime or a shootout. That is … really something.”

ESPN.com: Coyotes are terrible

Greg Wyshynski writes: “We’d recap all the ways Arizona is terrible, from a ghastly regulation record to a minus-26 goal differential; alas, we have only 140 charac…”

SI.com: Some stability to help Coyotes?

Jeremy Fuchs writes: “A bit more competitive of late and that coincides with the return of Antti Raanta. Some stability in net should improve things a bit.”

Eric Stephens writes: “They’re among the bottom five in offense, defense, power play, penalty killing and faceoffs. It’s no longer a horrible start. They’re just bad.”

Jim Cerny writes: “A  minus 26 goal differential already. Blech!”
