Around the NHL 2017-18: Stanley Cup Playoffs

Girardi still pays state income tax. And not just on his buy-out earnings. He pays state income tax on the salary he gets from his contract in Tampa.

Is he still a New York resident?

The rule only applies to the games he plays in the states where there is no income tax. He still pays income tax for the games he plays elsewhere.

Ah that’s right, because they’re game checks. Poor guy has to pay Canadian taxes since he’s a citizen there too.

They sometimes get a tax credit in the state where they reside, but with how high the salaries are in the NHL, I don't think they qualify for that.

Ah, good to know. Thanks for clarifying.

Ottawa situation continues to bubble on different fronts. As I have pointed out, it is still not a good hockey town. You just cannot depend on a fanbase there with such a low corporate presence. I don't care a lot for Melnyk's personality and style, but running an NHL team there is a real test financially.

We complain about Brooks about his proposals but did you see the article from the "other" Post's beat writer suggesting that Isles could get EK for basically Ho-Sang, 1st and 2nd?

That's insane. Cyrgalis better get back on his meds.

Isles down 2-1 to Kings
Philly down 1-0 to Stars

I know it's Ottawa, so I didn't know what I was expecting, but this outdoor game vs the Habs is a snoozer and a half.

 

[Do you want ants]

The metro is ridiculous. Our worst team currently would be in 3rd in the Atlantic.

 

[Harbour Dog]

Step just had a terrible, terrible PP shift. I'd forgotten how much of an upgrade ZBad was on the left boards.

and the entire f***ing division wins tonight.

Bring back Dan Boyle.

Get used to it. Metro should be taking 7 teams to playoffs but they can't so 1 good team will miss out.

I'm shocked!

Anyone see that dirty play by EJ?

Should get 10 games for that. What a POS.

Dan Boyle wasn't wrong when he called Larry and Brett clowns

And why the hell would Karlsson want to go to the Islanders of all teams with Tavares seemingly getting ready to abandon ship and one playoff win in how many years?

Karlsson can only list 10 teams. Every player with a limited NTC needs to hand in that list before July 1st each year. If they don't, the clause voids for that season.

Karlsson's NTC applies to 10 teams. These don't have to be the same 10 teams each year. But, with only 10 teams for him to block a trade to, I am not sure the Islanders are one of those 10 teams.

Hopefully the League comes down really hard on him...

Gudas got 10 I believe, thought this was similarly dangerous

Buffalo, Arizona, Florida, Carolina, Colorado, Vegas are probably sure-fire on his list. Not sure why he'd want to go to a team that's probably going to lose its best player and doesn't even know where they're going to be in the near future. I'd be surprised if the Isles weren't on that ten team list.

Vancouver
Calgary
Winnipeg

Those teams are good options to be on that list as well.

Why Vancouver?

Why Vancouver?

I feel they aren't really a popular destination for players
