It's not a bright shiny spin. It's literally something that is. Actively hoping to lose and choosing to be bad as opposed to just letting it happen naturally is how you end up with failed and stalled rebuilds as teams lack any sort of base or culture to build off of. I am hoping the Flames get #### kicked tonight.

I was also hoping the Canucks would get #### kicked every game they played after they were clearly out of the play-offs. But I understand why teams don't just pack it in. The Flames are going to have a year or two to get some high picks and draft some good young players. Actively cheering for them to lose is just crazy to me as a fan. It would also be crazy to me as a player.
