Rarely has a team EVER won a playoff game when they've only got 14 or 15 shots on goal. I can't of any other game I've seen. EVERY analyst has said they lost because Of Rinne and that was statistically the worst GAA ever in a playoff game.

A league, B league systems don't work with a salary cap/floor system. There is no way that you make the same kind of money in a B league for a full season. Therefore, you could not afford your big money players. It doesn't go along with a league who get players through a annual draft either.

There's a difference between being outshot and having your goalie steal a game, and totally out shooting your opponent, scoring 3 goals AND still losing because your goalie basically had around the same save percentage as a pylon would. This is no comparison to the way the bruins won in 2011. At no point did the bruins only get 13 shots on luongo and have luongo let 4 goals in. Murray did not shut-out the preds in game 1. The pens offence, defence and goalie did not win them game one. Rinne won game one one for the pens. He let in 4 goals on 13 shots!!!!!!! That's a save percentage of .692. Worst ever in a playoff game in NHL HISTORY. No other goalie has ever played worse in a NHL playoff game, let alone a Stanley cup final game. My 9 year old daghter could have been in net and put up the same numbers as Rinne did in that game. Did you even watch the game? Right from rom the start of the series, the analysts all said, this was a series of Pittsburgh' lethal offence against the best defence in the league. And no, not every analyst picked the pens at the start of this series. It was pretty close to a 50-50 split, at worst it was 60-40 for the pens. In game one the preds D did their job. Totally shut down the pens offence. Unfortunately for them, their goalie played worse than most pee wee goalies and even worse than some timbits goalies.

Everything is wrong with tanking. It's a plague in every sports. We want the Wheel !!! http://grantland.com/the-triangle/the-nbas-possible-solution-for-tanking-good-bye-to-the-lottery-hello-to-the-wheel/

Teams that score more goals against thier opponents, win 100% of the time.

I'm not sure I understand what the arguing is about. Rinne has something like the 4th worst totals of any goalie in Finals history over the past few decades. He is obviously melting down disastrously. No team can win - especially not in the Finals against elite competition - when their goalie can't stop a beach-ball. Commentators are in pretty much universal agreement that NASH has been the better team even without Ryan Johansen. This is on Rinne. (It's vaguely reminiscent of the Habs in 2016, when we had the worst goaltending in hockey. You didn't need to look far for an explanation for the lack of team success; if your goalie can't stop the puck, you lose, period).
