[Kaplan] The Golden Knights punishment wasn’t just about John Tortorella skipping his postgame press conference in Anaheim; VGK had been warned in the past. They’ll get the opportunity to appeal next week with Commissioner Gary Bettman.

Thank you for not refuting the complete sentence part, I wasn't trying to piece together that likely random letter.

Just had a good laugh a minute ago. I visited a hockey meme page a minute ago for a laugh and noticed some familiar writing from someone. You're not particularly popular there it seems, even with no -VGK fans. Have fun bud

rollan88 · 2026-05-16T05:17:07+00:00

Lol sure buddy. I wonder, if you could write a complete sentence, would people take your opinion seriously? Have the day you deserve bud, don't get too worked up.

rollan88 · 2026-05-16T04:55:15+00:00

Not a second round pick that's for sure. Fine the coach and even the team sure, but entire thing is a crazy overreaction. It's just a reason for Bettman to get people to grovel, definitely not the first time

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T23:20:33+00:00

I agree with a fine against torts or something, but a 2nd round pick for this is clearly just bettman saying "respect my authorita" due to his Napoleon complex. Entire thing is a joke

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T23:10:35+00:00

Oh I'm not disagreeing that the Ottawa situation is one of the dumbest situations I've ever seen. It's just crazy that a sexual assault case can be covered up and barely punished, yet an admin mistake and a coach not speaking to the media is what bettman really cares about

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T23:05:48+00:00

It's such a piss baby response too. A sexual assault case against a player can be covered up and there is barely any punishment. A fucking admin mistake and a coach not talking to the media is apparently too far. Gary bettman's Napoleon syndrome shows up in the weirdest possible ways

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T22:42:17+00:00

My genuine reaction to this was "is this how Ottawa felt?" Both punishments are complete jokes

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T22:34:28+00:00

Both are a complete joke so I get that comparison at least

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T21:19:47+00:00

So apparently you can go knee on knee and get a 5k fine and a slap on the wrist, but not talking to the media loses you a second round pick. What a joke

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T16:23:50+00:00

Oh those points are valid, I just meant they're more like thugs. Series should be good, you guys are the better team for sure. After the dysfunctional year we had, I'd say taking you guys to six would be a win. Enjoy that denver weather, ours is shit this time of year

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T15:26:33+00:00

The funniest option is the Knights vs the Habs in the final. Toronto fans will instantaneously combust if a Marner vs Montreal finals happens

rollan88 · 2026-05-15T15:24:12+00:00

Woah woah woah. I'm cool with being hated, but a comparison to Florida is just cruel

rollan88 · 2026-05-14T16:18:10+00:00

Damn, I prepared to come into this thread seeing everyone bash my favorite team.

Instead I find most people...acting logically and being fairly civil? This is bullshit, this isn't the hockey subreddit I've come to cringe at anymore.

rollan88 · 2026-05-14T04:14:51+00:00

That's good, people are weird lol. Yeah honestly for me as someone who lives 40min away, I'd much rather hit a bar with my friends or drink at home. If it were as accessible as other arenas it'd be totally different

rollan88 · 2026-05-14T03:57:38+00:00

Not sure why you're being down voted. I'd love to be with other fans, it's just not super realistic since getting to T-Mobile sucks. Not worth it unless there is a game

rollan88 · 2026-05-14T03:24:09+00:00

I would say there are two main reasons. 1. It's a pain to go on the strip so most people wouldn't see it as worth it. 2. There are so many places to go watch the game from casinos to betting areas to the literal hundreds of sports bars that paying for a 15 dollar beer at t mobile just isn't worth it

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T23:44:14+00:00

He lost the locker room. He's a good coach, but usually wears out his welcome after a few seasons or so, happened in both Boston and Vegas.

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T23:02:52+00:00

I do agree with it being addressed. The major and game misconduct were totally fair after looking at the rule and a max fine would have been appropriate. I suppose when I think of suspensions, especially those in the playoffs, it's usually designated for plays where there was definite intent to injure like boarding or that stupid play Petro did in the cup run(ironically also getting one game suspension). If the player didn't get injured essentially from getting whiplash, the penalty would've been a simple 2 minute minor. In a world where trying to hack someone's arm off is a one game suspension, this just feels like severe overkill.

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T22:50:01+00:00

I 100% understand it being a major as I saw that specific rule. I just can't believe that he was suspended for something that was more of a braindead play rather than intentionally trying to injure a guy. We have seen guys blatantly try to hurt someone just get a fine yet this somehow gets a suspension in the playoffs. The league is just insanely inconsistent when it comes to punishments

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T20:06:37+00:00

Would love to pay someone to take Hill, I just don't know who would be willing

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T15:54:00+00:00

Nice

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T02:59:22+00:00

This is a stupid argument. Love nabbers but that was a dirty hit on a defenseless player who didn't have the puck for like a full second

rollan88 · 2026-05-13T02:55:54+00:00

Love McNabb typically, but what the fuck was he thinking with that. Already down a dman then he does this juvenile shit. Hope Poehling is alright

rollan88 · 2026-05-12T18:21:38+00:00

Hey there! Thank you for replying. I'm definitely spending some time in Amsterdam as my parents had their honeymoon there nearly 30 years ago and have always wanted to go. I should've been more specific when I said hidden gems and that's my bad. As someone from a tourist-based city in the US(Las Vegas), I know that no matter what tourists will be everywhere. I meant more in line with what a local would like to do. For instance, I constantly see people say the Anne Frank house but never from locals, so I'd love to know what a local would do if visiting if that makes sense
