Players and HCs don't tank, GMs do. It's done all the time (they just don't admit to it). CD Lamb could have been sat. Why risk a season-ending injury for a meaningless game? How would you feel if Lamb is out next year, similar to Overshown, just to win a meaningless game?
You put in a Trey Lance and you tell him to play hard. Players like Rush are not playing for anything other than a new contract. Of course they want to put their best effort. It's not pride, it's greed. They literally have millions on the line. Rush probably added 2 million to his next contract.

A smart organization thinks ahead, A stupid organization and DUMBASS FANS think for today. Stupid people can't see beyond their nose.
