Guess that includes going to Stanley Cup finals and all in likelihood, winning one as well.

You are confusing aversion with acceptance. Again, I'd be fine tanking. But I accept they aren't going to do it to the extent some want.
And what the tank crowd also seems to ignore is the fact that many teams tank, for extended periods, and can't climb out of it.
So when people point to the evidence, they seem to ignore that.
