Yes you are lol.

Everyone complaining about Tampa being over the cap by nearly 20 mil (which they aren’t that’s including Gaborik and whoever else that’s literally not even nhl players). But I mean really they’re just Kucherov (give or take over) which many other teams are over the cap by a player or two.

Vegas played handful of games with less than 18 skaters (didn’t they play like 15 guys?) and still at the cap. I mean I’d still say that suspect even tho it’s allowed by the league (cause they’re getting by till playoffs with bare bones till they’re allowed playing over the cap). Like most teams have weasled some excess cap in some way, and Tampa’s just doing it better.

I agree with him

Tampa just plays the cap game better than everyone else and everybody wants to cry about it. They’re within the rules.

I've never been more convinced of anything. Eichel should not be playing for the Sabres next season. Will he be? That's a much tough question to answer.

Plus Hamilton saying “18 mil over” is just technically incorrect.

Everyone’s got the same opportunity and Tampa sacrifices their future for winning now. They’re losing stuff in the end but the cost versus the reward is definitely worth it for them. They have faith in winning and are buying in financially and through selling future assets. No other team is taking the risks they are.

Selling picks and prospects, they’re accepting they’re losing multiple players this offseason and likely PAYING someone to take on a contract and more. They are playing the game better than everyone else.

next season.

Anyone know what the record is for most Hart nominations w/o winning the award? MacKinnon is gonna be up to 3, right?

You can go through the past near 100 years lol!

Each year will say who was nom’d but I haven’t found a cumulative list of all noms (just a list of all winners; IE Wayne had 9 wins)

This is actually way better. But ima assume someone during the Gretzky rein or Howe rein was nominated more then 3 times.

Saros has been great, don't get me wrong, but he's not Vesina Calibre yet and most certainly is not Hart calibre.

Well he kind of made Dallas miss the playoffs. That and Bones was killing us for some reason.

But is he worth more to his team than McDavid? No, he's not.

Well compared to McDavid no, but he should at least get Vezina consideration.

Yes, I know I'm late to post this lol

I see what you did there

Prediction for tonight:

COL 2-4 VGK

I hope Avs win tonight

I think it's Syl Apps with 5. Couple others with 3 as well.

Man some of the names on that list from way back in the day

I'm definitely naming my kids Sprague Cleghorn and Dit Clapper

Dit Clapper is definitely a top 10 greatest name

Score Prediction
What I want: Avs 5-4 OT
What I think: Vegas 4-2

Score Prediction:
Vegas 5-3 (Even though I want COL to win)
