The NHL, and many other leagues, would be improved by adopting Gold drafting, which makes the existing schedule more exciting for fans, eliminates tanking discourse, and gives the best draft picks (on average) to the weakest teams, who need them the most. This is the 2025-2026 thread. #GoldRace

Feels like beating a dead horse at this point but I think this misses the distinction between rules violations — the penalty for which, at worse, is having a rock removed — and outright cheating.

The last time Canada trailed in an Olympic hockey game with NHLers involved was in the second half of the 5-3 loss to the US on Feb. 21, 2010. In other words in 13 straight games since 2010, Canada had never trailed till now.
