I’ll tell you who I’m NOT going to blame and that’s VGK and how they use LTIR. Especially when the Stars used it as well with Dadonov’s injury.

It's not personal, Bono. Everyone just hates a cheater.

I still just don't understand whatsoever how the NHL doesn't have an independent system that verifies LTIR injuries. There's so relatively few of them throughout the year that it can't be that hard to have doctors who are completely unaffiliated with the league or its franchises sit with the patient and verify these serious injuries and whether they are meeting the criteria.

That, more than Robidas Island or Mark Stone's annual spring vacation, is what truly pisses me off. Just another joke from a joke league.

The leagues verification system is this:
League: "Is he really hurt?"
Team: "Yes, he is"
League: "Good enough for me"

It's a problem that seems so easily fixable, but you need the league to agree it's a problem.

Yep...

This is the same league that ignored a problem in the Arizona desert for 20+ years, right?

Also, let me just add that I don't have a problem with what Vegas are doing, they're just following the same blueprint that Chicago and Tampa Bay have successfully implemented.

I’m beyond it myself. It’s damn sure no excuse for that first period Monday night.

Yup, it's always tougher when you're chasing the game. Also, where's the playoff Otter that played against the Flames a few years ago?

Well it would be useful if he chose to show up tonight...

Covering up sexual assaults?

Oh wait, that is another matter the League does not properly investigate.

I would add that the punishment handed down isn't even close to appropriate. The fact that they were still able to draft Connor Bedard and will get another top prospect in this upcoming draft is pretty unbelievable.

What do you mean? It took them almost 2 hours of jersey sales after learning they won the lottery to make up the amount they were fined. That's a long time.
