So you are actually accusing professional players of losing intentionally? Guys on that squad included Randy Carlyle, Mike Bullard, Marty McSorely, and Kevin McLelland among others.
how did the organization approach these guys and sell them on being bad when it would do absolutely nothing but hurt their careers and their very earning power in the game?
Nevermind that Pittsburgh was just as bad the previous season...or was it a 2 year plan to lose so that Lemieux would become a Penguin?
It simply doesnt happen because it would be a conspiracy of epic proportions and those just are impossible to pull off without someone yapping about it.
