Out of curiosity, what is the leagues stance on intentional tanking? In would think it undermines the overall product the NHL is selling. If a case could be legitimately proven that a team was trying to lose what would the leagues stance be on this?
I suppose you could say that not trying to win is different then trying to lose...but you know what I'm getting at here. Even having a team perceived to be throwing a game is a very bad thing for the league as a whole.
I'd also add, in typical Flames form, this is too little, too late.
