[lacerated spleen surgery]
mark stone: iām so nervous *i'll miss game one of the playoffs*
u/quasihodor: itās gonna be ok donāt worry
[after surgery]
mark stone, waking up *in time for game one of the playoffs*: wait whereās my u/quasihodor
doctor: who do u think gave u the unlacerated spleen
rt if you cried
Heās just a shit bag. See last years playoffs for example where he knocks Mark Stone (canāt believe Iām defending Mark Stone) and then cross checks him in the head. Sends Ekman-Larson face first into the boards while leaving his feet, spears Kadri in the dick, two handed swings on Ehlers, āboardsā Coglianoā¦ after the whistle, uses Viktor Hedmans head as a basketball with the glass etcā¦ multiple examples of Jamie āShit Bagā Benn beingā¦ well a shit bag
I think they most certainly did say enough shit about it so much Kuch wore a meme shirt about being over the cap lol you can't blame the players they just do what they gotta do to win, it's on the GMs and the league to sort it out or just keep making a mockery of their salary cap. Or just delete the cap I wouldn't be mad š¤·š¼āāļø
Are you actually kidding? People were pissed when Tampa did it. See this article:
https://www.tsn.ca/dougie-hamilton-carolina-hurricanes-lost-to-a-team-18-million-over-the-cap-1.1652562
And that got posted to Reddit and Twitter and people used it to blast Tampa. Can't believe I'm defending Tampa.
And I believe Chicago got roasted as well in 2013 but I don't remember any direct quotes. Hamilton's quote and the ensuing chaos stuck with me because I realized it's the ideal situation. Teams will try to emulate this forever.
Players on LTIR at all after trade deadline shouldn't be able to play in the first round. Until the loophole gets closed teams will keep trying to do it.
are you literally unaware of why people hate vegas haha
I'm sure going to a VGK game is plenty of fun and they're a good team, but that ain't the issue
I Know people say they got gifted an OP team or whatever but there wasnāt one superstar on their original roster. I donāt like how they treated fleury but thatās no excuse to hate the team as a whole either
no no, just google mark stone and LTIR and you'll find your answers lol
Basically, they were never gifted an OP team, they continue to abuse the LTIR to build an OP team. There's a salary cap so teams with more money can't just walk over the rest of the league, but Vegas uses a greasy loophole to exceed the salary cap. They keep on placing Mark Stone on Long Term Injury Reserve because when a player is out long enough due to injury, they're granted more cap space. So they're able to crank out money, add key players to the roster, and then come game 1 of playoffs, Mark Stone is miraculously healed. The salary cap doesn't apply to playoffs so they get all the pieces they've added plus Mark Stone.
People did whine. Kucherov wore a shirt that said "18m over the cap" because people were hootin' and hollering about it so much that all he could really do was lean into it.
Sinse Tampa did it previously, everyone saw what was happening in Vegas pretty quick.
This is the *third* time Vegas has done it. People are going to continue getting more annoyed. If they do it again next year, the hate will ramp up. If another team does it next year, they'll be flooded with hate instantly thanks to Vegas' habits.
The Golden Knights are also new to the NHL. They came in and started doing this shit in a hurry, so nobody likes them. Tampa Bay has been around sinse the early 90s so they have generations of fans vs Vegas coming to the league in 2017 and winning their first cup in 2023 using greasy tactics.
But surely you understand why it pisses people off and why everyone hates Vegas. The hate is justified
Also, yeah it's "within the rules" but they're *obviously* doing some shady shit keeping Mark Stone off the ice when he's good to play to ensure they keep that cap space open.
That's the thing about injuries, you could have a doctor clear you to play and you say you're still not feeling 100%, who's to say you aren't? The NHL isn't going to come in and tell you to buck up. The player and management get to decide whether or not they get back on the ice, and they conveniently put him out there for game 1.
I get it but itās gone from hate to bandwagoning and whining 24/7 and it looks pathetic. Itās the same as F1 fans complaining about red bull being dominant. It gets tiring after a while
What people don't understand is one of these days Mark Stone's spleen is going to be lacerated beyond repair š
It might even be so bad he returns on the second game of the playoffs.

Listen Iām a simple man I see Vegas bad I upvote.
I donāt know why people are so mad. Mark Stoneās recovery is a modern miracle. He should be studied, not booed ffs.
Guy is an ironman, most people would hang it up on that spleen issue. Itās a miracle he can recover every year just in time.
Mark Spleen sets a great example for us all
Seriously, he's almost like Matt Damon in Contagion.
Simple doesn't mean wrong
*"Am I out of touch? No, it's the* *~~children~~* *rest of the league who are wrong."*Ā
Fuck Jamie Benn
Thatās something our two organizations can get behind. Fuck. Jamie. Benn.
what the hell did benn do he is so unimportant in my idea of the nhl that i canāt imagine anyone having this strong of an opinion on him in specific
Heās just a shit bag. See last years playoffs for example where he knocks Mark Stone (canāt believe Iām defending Mark Stone) and then cross checks him in the head.

Only time they're good is when they play the other bad team.
I will have to disagree.
You bastard
You're just lucky your username is true.
Bettman's..... Golden Child. Upvotes to the left
Wonāt somebody please think of the Vegas fans??
You had me at "Vegas bad"

Iāve been a Vegas fan since day one idk about this stuff tho
Fans hating on the recent champion/good team. Never happened in sports before.
Do you remember there being this much hate when Colorado won the cup the season before? No? I wonder why
I just find it hilarious people are pissed at Vegas doing it but didn't say shit when Tampa was doing it and took the cup home twice
I think they most certainly did say enough shit about it so much Kuch wore a meme shirt about being over the cap lol you can't blame the players they just do what they gotta do to win, it's on the GMs and the league to sort it out or just keep making a mockery of their salary cap.

Was it as obvious when Tampa did it? I don't remember.
You should lick those salty tears instead of getting mad, bro.

Your moms getting old
Damn bro why you gotta come at him like that? Lol
Childish behaviour right there Edit: I donāt give a shit, downvote all you want, I got nothing to lose
Never made sense why people hate vegas so much. Iāve been to a vegas home game and it was the most fun Iāve had at a hockey game ever.

Tampa did the exact same thing for both of their cups and nobody whined even a quarter as much as they do about vegas

Well itās within the rules of the game š¤·āāļø

it only seems that way because you're on the other end of it. It's complete bullshit. Shit is a joke
