From Tanner's blog

"I really hope you guys get 1st pick, Buffalo should get in-trouble for obvious purposeful tankjob."

89, that ones for you

I wonder if Murray had a "Why didn't I think of this sooner!" moment, when trading for two of the worst backups in the league to take over. This might also be the first time in history when we see a coach ride the cold goalie.

Pathetic. Team of the perpetual rebuild. This trading dealine might be the impetus for the NHL to change the drafting process.

Funny how you only say this after your team enjoyed the rewards of sucking for many years.

Yep, maybe they can make it retroactive and take your two best players and cups away as well?

Nope google Admits to tanking. There are several articles of teams doing this.

this happens every year with teams. This is just because McDavid is there.

from last blog


Define "compete"

Compete as in how many of us thought that Nolan would have the roster looking like they know how to play this sport? or compete for the playoffs??

more games decided by 2 goals or less

more wins

shot comparison being close instead of lop-sided

middle of the pack pp

I wanted to punch whoever it was that kept asking the same stupid question of Murray at the presser yesterday. I guess it's honorable to not trade UFAs and get nothing for them to make it seem less like tanking.

Since 93 none for the Habs.
Since 93 for teams that have not "tanked"?

1994 New York Rangers
1995 New Jersey Devils
1996 Colorado Avalanche
1997 Detroit Red Wings
1998 Detroit Red Wings
1999 Dallas Stars
2000 New Jersey Devils
2001 Colorado Avalanche
2002 Detroit Red Wings
2003 New Jersey Devils
2004 Tampa Bay Lightning
2006 Carolina Hurricanes
2007 Anaheim Ducks
2008 Detroit Red Wings
2011 Boston Bruins

So once again.
My counter idea - hire the right management personnel, get all the players and coaches on the same page, draft well, play the game right, win hockey games .


Idiotic, right?
Repugnant is truly the best word to describe intentionally losing.

You do realize the Lightning had the top pick in 98 and 99(which was traded)?

Drafted top 10 in 00( 2 top 10 as they traded #5 overall and had 8th), 01 (3rd overall), and 02 (traded to Philly 4th overall).

But they didn't tank?
