I don't think coaches or players ever tank. But GMs do.

Yeah I mentioned this. That is just more evidence that it does in fact go on and likely more than we think. I believe the Avalanche management group has been tanking just the same as the Hurricanes and even the Predators have thrown their hat in the ring. I hate it but at the end of the day I understand why they are doing it and why it's part of the business.
