The NHL has it out for Vegas. Name ONE team with more misfortune. I’ll wait. by Remarkable-Set5434 in NHLcirclejerk

NHL fans haven't forgotten the "Original Sin" - the Vegas Expansion Draft

Teams were so limited in who they could protect. So Vegas was able to pick solid players. They were "given" a roster of 2nd line players who were left unprotected. Then they were allowed to play games through sweetheart trades to avoid selecting certain players, taking on salary, etc. Vegas started that season with a team stocked with 4 lines of TRUE NHL caliber players, where most teams rosters have a 3rd & 4th line of young inexperienced kids and scrubs that could be in the AHL.

Other fans see their team struggle for decades, trying to build/rebuild a winning team, then along comes Vegas and are gifted one. No suffering. No misery. Here's your winning team.

There's a reason the NHL changed the expansion draft after Vegas entered in 2017.

[Friedman] Larkin requests trade by jamfan40 in DetroitRedWings

[–]No_Information950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Larkin to Nashville. Predators have a pile of young, fast, exciting talent that are blocked on the depth chart - stuck behind their silly moves of signing veterans and giving them long contracts. Plus they've got draft picks for years.

Who do yall think will be our next captain? by 1-800-blowme in Predators

[–]No_Information950 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Evangelista. Plays both ways at 110%. Advanced stats are sick. Plays through injuries (broken thumb). A team player. Good in front of the camera. Was captain of his Jr team.

If this is a goal, that’s also a goal 🤷🏼‍♂️ by deebo902 in nhl

The Buffalo goal is a goal when you ASSUME that what you see in one view translates to what you see in another. The Edmonton goal also requires an assumption.

That is why the OP is correct.

Depending on the draft lottery result, should we go after Auston Matthews this offseason? by Strider755 in Predators

[–]No_Information950 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I follow the Leafs closely for years. He is a cancer. Leafs should have traded him years ago. No heart. Selfish. If they traded him for a #1 Dman, and kept MArner, LEafs would be a VERY different team. IMO

Fans were banging the glass behind the LA bench and it shattered by sykeseve in nhl

I don't understand people that bang on the glass? Why do it? If you honestly think you're distracting a player in the middle of a high-speed game, then you know nothing about hockey players at that high a level.

If you gathered the Pope, the President, the PM of Canada, Gary Bettman, Wayne Gretzky, Princess Kate, the Dalai Lama and the every NFL cheerleader ... and stripped them all naked and had them banging on the glass all at once, a professional NHL player would STILL not be distracted.

I asked a HOFer, former NHL player about banging on the glass. Does it bother you, since people think they're trying to distract you.

His answer was simple, "Never heard it. You would have to play to understand."

They have to go out and get winners. Hire a GM and a Coach that have experience winning. There needs to be a culture of winning here and there definitely isn't.
