To Tim's credit, he stepped up and admitted what many have denied.

having said that, to your 3rd point regarding that "your tanking" has had a minimal impact-I would totally disagree. It has impacted both the division race between Elite and Portland with your tanking to Elite giving them a 5 game sweep while Portland was played straight up and of course, in our division-my team has played you straight up all year and will have the "benefit" of playing your better players 2 series from now so I see your tanking has having a very significant impact on our conference. Best Conference record (between Diamond, and winner of Elite/Portland) are at stake and the division battle between Elite/Portland.
