They didn't break any rules and considering your penchant for having a whinge I would imagine you'd be first in line to complain if HO started handing out bans for things not included in the rule book.

I'm going to try to be level headed with you, but I doubt it will work. But lets try anyway.

You have to remember that this is a game, and people will do whatever it takes to win. Some will try to cheat, some will try to push the limits as far as possible within the rules.
Some GM's/Players limits are closer to the borders of the rules then others, but everyone tries their best to increase their chance of success, this is true for both SMJHL and SHL.
Some users will say that the J's should be more about creating a good user experience for new players, we all know that winning is the best experience a GM can provide for their users and them self so this holds true just as much here as anywhere else. Low passing, high scoring is a grey zone just as much as playing inactive's over actives in juniors. Only difference is that the latter give a much smaller edge to actually win shit then the former. Users are just as outspoken about playing inactive's over actives in juniors as they are about this issue.

There's no conspiracy to this whole shit show. Team found a edge that was in the rule book, executed their strategy and is reaping their rewards. Is it fun? Nope. Does it feel like you are being tricked out of your "best years"? Absolutely.

I don't blame Hamilton for trying their best to win, I don't think anyone saw the potential impact the strategy would have on the league.

Still doesn't change the fact that a lot of users feels like they wasted their time on their players since they are now known to be flawed.

No, goalies just have an issue looking like the Michelin man.  Fight me! Oh, wait, you can't, Simon won't let you.

Not calling you old or anything, JP, but 95% of users probably weren't even around for that.  Hell, I'd bet half of our active users weren't even around for the double-shifting days.  So yeah, it would be the "most sham Cup" in the recollection of the vast majority of the user base.
