Not on your life. But you use the rules in place and manage accordingly.
And speaking of rules, aren't there certain rules about the makeup of the lineup you can ice in preseason games? I doubt this lineup would meet minimum pre-season requirements  |
I have no idea, maybe I just believe in the spirit of the game too much that I'm blind.
However, given the Fan 960 idea and let's say the far fetched idea became reality. I would bet both teams wouldn't be icing the team's they are tonight. So again maybe I'm blind, but I'm happy believing that we aren't tanking on purpose or any team is for that matter.
