You know I've repeatedly tried to be polite to you, and attempt to convince you not to be incredibly rude to pretty much everyone here. But all you can do, even in response to someone who is trying to understand your rather extreme view on this subject, is respond with an attack.

I like this little subforum, and I hope you don't intend to perpetually stir up trouble like this.

Two big things today.

First Chiasson looks fantastic. Love that line with him and Whitney and Benn.

Second, Fraser doesn't look terrible in the defensive zone. That shot is a money maker but only if he's not a black hole in behind his own blue line and he hasn't been. I love our top two lines but **** you San Jose for letting us back in this game.

I get scorned and berated for wanting to establish some top talent with this team. Yet, I am the one that must be quiet and accept the bending over that you wish?

See how that works? The only one making other's bend to their opinion is you.

would you have rather have had

pesky stars?

or

no effort trying to tank stars?

I want dudes that are trying to win.

In the meantime, build the talent accordingly. But always give effort. Do not let a culture of losing creap into your organization. Once there, it is very very hard to get out.

Might as well just lock this, it's turning into a pissing match, not a game discussion.

oh my... You should be glad you weren't here during the "pesky stars" days.

Those were dark times...

I don't see any "making". I state my opinion. You disagree. Ok.
I will continue to state my opinion. You can disagree then too.

If you think that arguing that people who want to tank are bad fans, would be bad teammates, etc. is really a good way to have a conversation about anything, I have news for you. It isn't.

With regard to the subject:

There's plenty that can be said for tanking, and there are many ways to do so which wouldn't seriously work to build up a so-called "losing atmosphere." For example, not insisting on riding Kari every single game. Him getting hurt wouldn't be any good for the future of this team, and further it would be nice to go into next season have some idea what kind of backup goaltender we have.

Calling up one of our shiny new D prospects to swap out for Rome/whoever would be another nice thing to do which might contribute to tanking.

Neither of these things would prevent our players from doing their best to win, but would increase our chances of losing regardless.

Still, no one will ever catch me cheering for the team to lose, or complaining when the Stars win. But if you can only see a desire to tank as the action of a bad fan, or not a fan at all, then there's no point in having any of this discussion. Because you don't want to talk about it, you just want to bash people with your point of view.

That was after your first post was deleted attacking others who disagree with your opinion.

By the way no one who wants to tank wants a culture of losing. Most of us either believe that the culture of losing is already there, and that it won't be fixed in 13 games with this coaching staff. So we are not even disagreeing with you on the fundamental principle, we disagree on the state of that culture and its realistic fix. Can't blame people for wanting to get a high draft pick if that culture isnt fixable over the next 13 games.

That's said more as a joke than anything. I don't think there's a single person here who legitimately was cheering for the Sharks to win this game, more simply wanting us to lose, but with the kids playing well.

So logic fits whatever you think, but not what we think...

Of course.
