But crappy teams still try. That's not the same as both teams not trying at all. And it's good for the league and game to have crappy teams able to compete. Otherwise they become unofficial farm teams who lose talent to the good teams. Like what we see with Baseball. But NHL doesn't have MLB money and fanbase so franchises belly-up if there's no ability to win games.
