C'mon man, how do you think your argument comes across? We're sitting guys to try to lose games? Who can buy in to that argument? We're sitting guys when they are injured because we're not in a playoff race so we don't need them to play through injuries because it isn't a desperate time. The motivation to sit not them is not to lose games, that's a silly argument and you were called out on it as you should be. The motivation to sit them is to get them healthy. The side benefit of sitting them is that we get to see recalls and maybe we lose a couple more games. The side benefit does not equal the motivation. I think it's pretty clear.

I think it's pretty easy to buy into when you consider a couple poor deadline deals (of course if I express that opinion I am will just be insulted and accused of stirring things up), scratching Gaudreau & Monahan against the Leafs, magically picking only the Sabres game to experiment with Bennett as the #1C. It's all adding up dude. I'm not a conspiracy guy and I hate tanking, so all these things are adding up to something I don't want to believe. But it seems to me they are doing many little things to ensure a better chance at losing. I'm not expecting people to buy into it with it being a handful of subtle things, even many Sabres fans denied they were tanking last year despite it being obvious.
