  1. f**k sakes lol. You're telling me if you had the choice to pay 16% less taxes on your 5,000,000 dollar salary you wouldn't jump on it? REALLY?
  2. You haven't been paying attention to this league. It's all good bud. This is a mismatch. Have a good evening.
  3. Are you being purposely daft? The LTIR loophole and tax benefits of no income tax states provide the extra pieces on the board. Oilers and Leafs didn't have that. Tampa is another prime example. No state taxes and Kuch on LTIR for entire season.
  4. My point is, playing with such an advantage is like having an extra queen (in this case, Mark Stone) added at the start of the game (series).
  5. Two conference final sweeps could be up to 100m loss in revenue for the NHL. That's hilarious.
  6. There's a multitude of reasons why a team is successful or not. I merely mentioned one advantage (and one loophole available to every team) that Vegas has. Sorry if it seems serious, I was just having conversation. This hockey is ridiculously boring to me. I have it on but am not paying attention.
  7. Excuses for what? Why are we talking about Horvat? Don't let facts get in the way of a good debate amirite?
  8. All those ~5m cap hits on Vegas would be closer to 6m cap hits in Vancouver. Eichel, Stone and Pietrangelo would be about 5m more, total, in cap to equal what they make in Vegas.
  9. That LTIR allowed them to add Stone at the end of the regular season. Not a small advantage. The state tax situation is also a huge difference maker in attracting players. The deck is stacked heavily against Canadian teams in particular.
  10. You need cap circumvention and to be in a state with no taxes. We're seeing that trend very clearly now.
  11. One and done chances. I don't really care either way but why are you pumping this guys tires? Lol
  12. When it's all coming from the outside? No rebound chances? It's exactly what I'm talking about.
  13. Reminds me of all those goalies that looked decent in Arizona because of the team defense in front of them. He's not making huge saves just making the ones he should. Also, Vegas is playing with a ~96,000,000 cap in a state with no income taxes. This league "parity" is a joke.
  14. It it makes you feel any better 99% of hockey fans won't be watching or cheering for anyone. NHL ratings down across the board.
  15. Dallas isn't hitting because they got penalized for touching Vegas players. Bettman cradling the Knights balls right to the finals.
  16. Lol. Not a f**kin chance I'm cheering for Dallas. I just want to watch playoff hockey for the intensity and rivalries built. This is boring top to bottom. Embarrassing compared to playoffs past.
  17. Jesus christ. Aidan Hill isn't even making tough saves. This is just hot garbage hockey.
  18. You think Bettman watches a game like this and thinks "I've delivered a good product" ?
  19. Two Princes, Little Miss Can't Be Wrong, What Time Is It and Jimmy Olsens Blues I probably still know them word for word after like 30 years.
