As a die hard isles fan I hope they win every game here on out not so they make the playoffs I don’t expect it. However saying we should cheer when they Los is ridiculous raise the reputation of the team so that you can use all the free salary cap money you have to lure some above average free agents then rebuild around them. The isles have so much raw talent (your a moron if you disagree) that if there were even a few solidified NHL players around this lineup they would help these young unpolished guys develop. Our only real veteran and captain has been hurt all year the vast majority of the lineup haven’t even had a full season under there belt. Maybe I’m still bitter about kovalchuck but there is a reason he didn’t sign that monumental contract with the isles. He didn’t want to play for a team known for a shitty building shitty management shitty reputation and most importantly a team who finishes at the bottom all the time. If you think similarly or differently respond

Can’t say the same for the Avs.

Given all the tanking, especially by the Avs, I can only hope that the Isles get bumped up by the lottery. It would seem only fair. In the end, however, the teams that tank are probably hurting themselves more in the long run. If a team lacks a culture of winning. it will be much harder to create that regardless of talent.
