1) never ever been in favor of any "fail for anyone"

2) any tanking GM has no balls at all. tanking has no place in sports.

Oilers are home this week. Wonder if Petry had time to get to SJ for the game. Please look into this.

Edmonton i wouldn't mind. they really are inept. they don't try to be bad. and they had some rotten luck drafting #1 overall in 2011 and 2012 where there were no franchise players available.

Meh, don't care about Buffalo winning it. We were all "fail for Nail" 4 years ago.

He actually had the balls to go at it all the way.

Kinda glad that worked out the way it did for us though.

John Lu said Petry was on his way to SJ, but that MT would confirm at 4:45pm if he's playing tonight.

Yeah. But we should be pissed at the League for letting this happen, not at the Sabres. Murray's taking advantage of the rules in place, and even though it's "cheap", it's still sound management, me thinks.

The line is blurry between "rebuild" and "tank" but you're absolutely right (by that I mean there is a little overlap).

I am still undecided as to whether the Leafs are intentionally tanking. They had all their good players playing and the players failed and thats why they are in their current position. They clearly demonstrated to management they are incapable of being a playoff team and forced their hand to "rebuild". (Which implies giving up current assets for a chance for better future assets).

The overlap between rebuilding and tanking is that when you trade all your current assets for future assets, the byproduct is your team will start to lose more games because they'll be worse.

I don't think the Leafs are intentionally losing games. If they wanted to do that, everyone would be traded for whatever so the Leafs can have a better shot at McDavid.

Either way - I am not proud to be a Leafs fan right now. Either they suck or they are being gutless. I suppose its better if they suck and at least have a backbone.

edit: If today is any indication though, I might even say the Leafs are not rebuilding. They are (frank)ing failing at rebuilding cause they haven't done squat today.
