I want one of these high and mighty posters that like to make these high on the horse posts berating others for having a different opinion and simply observing what has transpired over the past few weeks in the NHL. Please explain to the peasants your vast knowledge of how the NHL works because I have news for you. Tanking is real.
I'm disgusted. In other sports leagues I have seen teams fined for dressing what is deemed by the league as a lineup that is less than the most competitive lineup possible. 2 years ago in the EPL a team called Blackpool was fined a 5-figure penalty for resting key players in a match (a match that really didn't matter much at all)

Cammy, Backs, Stajan & Stempniak rested? That is disgusting. I refuse to watch. It had better result in a loss!
