The_Admiral Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 Six of the last eight finalists don't have to pay state income tax in a hard-cap/guaranteed-contract league 4 Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyJimmy Posted May 31, 2023 Share Posted May 31, 2023 I think I've done a complete 360 on the Knights. they're such a meme, and Vegas is such a comically terrible city, that they've kinda wrapped around and become endearing to me again. also, the state of Nevada does not want to genocide all of my friends as far as I know. that's a plus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you pay tax where the game is played as they're considered traveling performers. So only home games are affected but it's definitely an issue.

The_Admiral Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 It's not just a cap. It's the most restrictive and least forgiving system of any of the four leagues, further compounded by the widest disparity in what we can generally call "market pressure," plus the labor base most sensitive to that pressure. This is how you play the game on easy mode. Quote ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GDAWG Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 One of my favorite things about professional sports is a first time league champion and we're getting that in the NHL and hopefully the NBA. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've had that setup for all their home playoff games, as best as I can tell. And they're good (?) about hanging the opposing team's banner up there. That's also where their percussion section and ice dancers hang out during action on the ice.

The Panthers are just undoing themselves with the aggression tactics...it's so obvious. Meanwhile Vegas done got Bobby booted off the ice after four goals and are doing their own fair share of pushing around. EDIT: and as I type that Jack Eichel just got checked right off the ice by Matthew Tkachuk—who for the second straight game got assessed a game misconduct (along with Barbachev on Vegas' side), although it didn't look like Tkachuck was being needlessly reckless. But then, reputation precedes some people, and Tkachuk's definitely precedes him.

Dynasty Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Florida's seeding is starting to show. I figured at some point reality was going to sink in. Also, the Golden Knights are scoring like 4-5 goals a game. I don't even think a hot goalie could stave off that much of an offensive barrage.
