[Hackey]

Tweaking a roster to improve it isn't evidence that the team tanked purposely the year before. So far no evidence has been shown that they tanked other than keeping a coach. Except that coach was a Jack Adams finalist 2 year prior so some type of loyalty and commitment is likely there to not just instantly can him. Not to mention it was the lockout season. Bringing in a new coach for a 30 game stretch might not be the best idea. Oh ya and the biggest reason they wanted Roy. So based on that I don't think keeping Sacco for 30 games is tanking but rather the logical choice at the time. You can say they sat O'Reilly on purpose but that's pretty ridiculous. Piss off a player so the team might suck. People have said they had a roster of good players. Predicting that holding O'Reilly out would lead to the results it did doesn't make sense. And O'Reilly is having the same issues this year again so that theory doesn't really hold up. People just love to jump on that tanking bandwagon. It's nothing but a bunch of whiners. Colorado had a lot go wrong that year and rather than call it what it is people try to make up things like management did it all on purpose. Sounds like a bunch of cry babies.
