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.
It does happen, the TSN documentary Playing To Lose proved the team intentionally tanked the season. The coach has admitted it and so did the GM. You are wrong.
