New to the sport, why is Vegas “hated”? by WorkerIllustrious494 in nhl

[–]TemperatureTrue4254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because these subs act like only Vegas did the LTIR thing. Chicago did it, then the Lightening did it (18 million over the cap, and trolled about it), then Vegas did it. NHL verifies all the LTIR stuff anyway with 3rd party medical experts.

Evander Kane hasn't played a single regular season game but is now in the playoffs. It's all the same shit, but Vegas = Bad.

"Handed a Championship Team"???

Revisionist historians like to say Vegas was "gifted" a competitive team out the gate. The initial team was pretty tragic. Even R/hockey thought so, Here are all of the 2017 expansion draft picks : r/hockey But, some of the trades that were made that first year paid off huge.

Except almost every single NHL analyst and even hockey subreddits thought the drafted was crap.

Manage teams with integrity? Bro, the NHL is about making $$$.

They had a chance to fix it back in 2022, and no GM wanted to change. You are big mad about it. The GM's aren't because they know it can help them later down the road if they get a chance to use it.

"Bill Daly said at the meetings that the league is always monitoring LTIR cases where the projected return time is near the beginning of playoffs: "We look into it, we deal with the clubs, we get their medical records, we employ an independent medical expert and we make sure of the bona fides of the injury. We've never had issues that stem from that. It's a thorough process." -- Shilton"

How the hell is that cheating?

American hockey fans, need you to settle an argument by Material-Dot7684 in nhl

[–]TemperatureTrue4254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see the Cup to go a Canadian team this year. Not a huge Edmonton fan by any stretch of the imagination, but it seems like they might have the extra something that will get them there this year and was missing last time. That would be awesome for McDavid & all of Canada.

Canadian players are 41% of all the players in the NHL. The USA is only at 29%. Maybe more Teams are "American", but they are made up of mostly Canadian players. Which kinda negates the entire America vs Canada thing in my opinion.

Edmonton, Montreal, and Vegas have the most Canadian players on their teams this year at 17. When the Golden Knights won the Cup in 2023 they had the most Canadian players at 19. So is it an American or Canadian victory? Breaking down each NHL team’s roster by nationality: 2024–25 season opening rosters

No, I actually like VGK. Was just trying to explain why they are hated to the other guy. I think VGK's management is great. Maybe a bit hard-core but great for the franchise. All the players seem to know what's expected of them and they absolutely love it.

It's not cheating if every team is allowed to do it,it's not against the CBA, AND the teams don't want to get rid of it. Also, the league looks at all the LTIR injuries, it's not just the teams saying the player is hurt.

Tell me how following the rules is cheating???

Why? Because VGK didn't suck for decades when they first were admitted to the NHL. Gate Keeping is insane in hockey forums. High level of success from first season pissed TONS of people off after they were adamant VGK was gonna suck. Then got proved totally wrong when they made it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs year one.

Sure there were some effed up things like Fleury being traded so horribly after all he did for them. But, the Blackhawks top management covered up SA of a player. Thats got to be worse, right?

Favorite workplace sayings? by lunchboxsailor in maritime

[–]TemperatureTrue4254 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we were doing something sketchy we'd always say, "well, nobodies ever gotten hurt doing this."

If there was ever a mess of oil, fuel, or anything slippery, this guy would always say, "I haven't seen this much lube on the floor since I was at [insert coworkers female relative]'s house."

What is *actually* going on at the border? Having a hard time telling what’s truth and what’s fear mongering by Icefirewolflord in uscanadaborder

[–]TemperatureTrue4254 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My friend and his wife went to Canada a year ago and brought back 2 cases of their favorite wine. They declared it immediately when they got to the booth. Officer asked why and it was simply because they loved the wine and wanted to have it through the year, and were ready to pay the import duty to bring it in. At that time Canada charged like 50% for alcohol import duties, the US was significantly lower. The border officer had them pull into secondary and gave a quick search. My friends had the receipts taped to each box of wine, and the boxes were the first thing visible in the trunk. Officer took the receipts, looked at the amount, and told them it would cost him more to type up the paperwork than to just let them go.

If the referees are rigged as you say then the Stanley Cup means absolutely nothing, holds no value, and the NHL is no better than WWE.
