People here were bitching and moaning last season because the team who was 6 points out of a playoff spot was still trying to pass Montreal. Not 16, not 26, 6! That's absolutely ridiculous.

The Spurs lost deliberately for Duncan. They were a perennial playoff contender who kept their star out eith a dubious injury for one year to tank. They won 4 championships out of that.
It's pro sports.
Being embarassed by tank talk is hilariously uppity.
The Oilers fans this board makes so much fun of are enjoying their poorly constructed team still be ahead of our incredible start in the standings. Could they use depth? Yeah. Which is a lot easier than acquiring the pieces that give them an unstoppable PP. But I'm sure we can make fun of them for playing their stars 25+ minutes while we have a 13M fourth line.
