This is a scary debate. I don't believe that a professional team should be engaged in the business of losing for a higher draft pick. A professional team should play to the best of their abilities. It also has a big thing to do with the culture of winning. A culture of losing can set serious mould on an organization. The Flames have always played great in an underdog role.
Also, we can't compete with fate. When Howard gives up those freak goals what would you do? Take a shot at kipper, not make it, eat the puck. Like what are you supposed to do? You have to hold the other team honest.
