1. Because it prevents all of their games from being 8-0 fist-rapes.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
2. As part of above, that reduces the chance of a Buffalo player coming unglued and trying to cut an opponent in half with his Sabre (I mean stick).
3. The reason the NHL exists is entertainment. Blowouts are not entertaining.
This. He was going to be done next month anyways. They saw an opportunity to make an example of him since he was done at the end of this season anyways. If it was anyone else i'm sure a slap on the wrist is all that would be given.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also, I don't see an even up call being anything bigger than that. It happens at all levels of hockey and I am perfectly fine with it. In no way is it "rigging the game"

Goes back to my original point so NHL decides who wins and who looses by how much.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Also make sure the teams don't improve. Its like reward a kid for bad behavior.
No, it's more complicated. It's about when a team is obviously going to lose, risk and game management plays a bigger role.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The draft is designed to help teams improve. It has nothing to do with the officials.
Imagine losing to Ottawa twice in a row when your season is on the line.

Sure. Don't even go to draft.....goes back to my point stop fixing it.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
No games are being fixed. The team that was going to get zero points in an 7-1 blowout still gets the same zero points in a 5-2 game.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This isn't determined before the game. It's a clean slate going into each game and the product on the ice determines how the game needs to be managed.
Too violent? Call it tighter in the first so they settle down or hope* for a fight to settle it down.
*Apparently this "hope" needs to be done quietly or your entire career ends.
Coach being urethra?
Bench minor to penalize the team instead of tossing coach.
Made terrible call that fucked one team?
The next debatable call on the other team will be a penalty to try and equalize opportunities.
Etc

Couldnt have said it better myself. Game management isn't rigging the outcome. Game management is make sure it doesn't get out of control.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This game we're getting to see between Sharks & Wild has been fantastic. Very evenly matched and a proper, quality game.
Nick Foligno is a Leaf ..... Pending the trade call.

Holy fuck Dallas Eakins, who do you have pictures of?!!??
A record in the NHL of 79 wins, 122 losses and 30 OT losses. You suck so very very much!! Just because you're coaching the Ducks doesn't mean you have to let everyone make Fois Gras.
