Yes, that's exactly what happened - the players wouldn't lose.
Return for Iginla could not be helped.
Return for JBo was brutal and could have waited.
There were games down the stretch where cammalleri, Hudler, Backlund, etc were all sat down for kids.
I'm not sure what else you call that?

What doesn't look like tanking?
Keeping expiring UFA because you don't like the returns (Cammalleri, Butler).
Icing your best possible lineup every night, like Flames did this year
