Winning > tanking

Losing > winning at this point in a lost season

Losing isn’t tanking, why is that such a hard concept for people to understand?

Tanking is losing on purpose, which no team will ever try to do.  But losing is better for the franchise.

As a player/coach you want to win, as a fan, you should want what is best for the team, which is losing.

Your joy of this win will be gone within a few days, it’s not going to make next season (or future seasons) any better when we’re drafting later because of this pointless win.

I usually agree with you that losing is better at this point in the season but because the same coach and QB are coming back next year I’d rather them ride some momentum into next season and learn to win some close games.

It’s because they’re both coming back that I’d rather lose.

Momentum from winning one game this late in a lost season doesn’t carry over.  You need to close out with like 4-5 wins out of 5-6 games for that type of thing to carry over.

All this win did was hurt our draft position, nothing else

Learning how to win > slightly better draft position. 
 

Winning builds culture. At least if you have the right leadership in place. Not sure we do, but we aren’t going to improve long term and start to consistently win if we don’t start winning some. That winning culture doesn’t just turn on like a light switch. It has to be built over time and winning these sorts of games helps do that. 
 

And given teams make bad draft selections all the time, the difference between pick 5 and 7 isn’t great. You still have to make the right pick wherever you’re drafting. And then you have to have the winning culture and infrastructure to develop that pick into a successful one.

      Nina King continues to run circles around the rest of college basketball. She's been ahead of the curve on everything, and is the biggest reason for Duke's success post-K IMO. I think Scheyer is great at many things, but Duke went into the NIL era 100% ready whereas everyone else was playing catchup.

      Canes vs Canadians Gm 4 Rd 3 8pm

      Happy they won convincingly instead of letting them hang around. Montreal is cooked, and rather than play hockey, they've decided to take some really cheap shots at guys. I get a player may feel a need to set the tone, and I understand how that works. But to 2-hand cross check someone intentionally in the face, to have a guy down on the ice and put his head into the ice with a stick, to just start punching anyone who gets within arm's reach- that's not setting the tone. That is nothing short of playing dirty.  That said, the Canes.... oh boy. They could have run this score to 6-0 with half a power play. It's embarrassing how bad the PP is. If the Canes go to the Cup finals against a team who scores at least 1 goal per game on the PP, they'll lose the close games because of the lack of results on the PP.

      Because he knows they are winning the cup. And I fully support his decision.
