I echo a lot of the sentiments about Vegas. It's not against the rules what they are doing with LTIR so it's fair. However, it's a clear loophole that needs to be corrected. I support the simple rule that you can carry the extra cap but the team iced needs to be cap compliant. It just makes sense and is fair.
All that being said, Stone, Vegas management, and the team doctors are clearly all working together to mislead the NHL on Stone's health status all season. To be playoff ready exactly at the start of the playoffs more than once is clearly not a coincidence but an executed plan. It's a joke that the league isn't investing Vegas doctors and Stone for lying about his health and ability to return to play.
For me, both things can be true. Vegas has the right to use the LTIR rules in the manner they are doing it, but they are also violating league rules about Stone's health.

i don't know what's funnier
that they canceled their trip to see u2 because of how terrible they were playing or that a bunch of 20-30 year olds were actually willing to go see u2 perform

Toronto took the lead and then Lyubushkin almost gave it right back by taking a dumb shot and then allowing JVR behind him for a breakaway.

Until we sign both this offseason and they both continue to be injured.Fortunately for us we don’t have those problems.

They better not waste Rico, Perry and Carrick's time by losing to the kings.

Perry won’t show them how to do it without getting caught.

Im all about our draft position, so the quicker the oilers get bounced the better.

Is anyone going to play goal in the Kings / Oil series? Both keepers suck.

I feel for Dallas. I think there are only 2, maybe 3 teams that can take them down in the west and their reward for the best record in the conference was to play one of them in the 1st round.
EDIT: And we are partially to blame since we beat Vegas in game 82.

The bruins might have the top 2 goalies in the playoffs
But I do think it’s insane that they kept both guys and didn’t use 1 to add depth to the roster

Marchessault has been terrific so far. If that’s the top-6 forward we end up with July 1, I’m certainly not complaining
IIRC, the Bruins had a framework on a deal to send Ullmark to LA and he wouldn’t waive to go there.
