His first 3 seasons in Vegas were all good. Now he's having a down year. First time since the 2016/17 season.

We play well for stretches and then give up a dagger. At least we dont pack it in like before whenever we hit a bump in th road.

That comment is about Reimer, who is very much up and down every other year since his Leafs days.

Smitty is a result of more lineup depth today he is no longer one of the top offensive guys there.
Not that he couldnt do better in a bigger role.

So we wont see either on Saturday and Monday. Wont even give the team a chance to get maybe get acclimated to playing against them at full strength.

They are literally full of shit lol. They have no choice in the matter, they can't fit either under their cap right now.
Both Kuch and Stamkos are healthy. Stamkos went down before the deadline "coincidentally" and Kuch has been out all season.
They'll be back and healthy for Game 1 when the salary cap is no longer in effect.
Btw the NHL standing pat and just letting this obvious cap circumvention is f***ing embarrassing to me. What's the point of a cap if you can just "shut down" your best players for the last few months and stock your team up even more for another go around?
Yup, that loophole must be removed. It’s a complete shit show.

It's just another loophole. Ofc initially they collectively thought that would allow teams to stay competitive if their star player(s) gets injured but that on the other hand allows teams to shutdown players as "a precautionary measure". This in turn leads to teams not trusting each other when this is blatantly used to reach a competitive advantage and I'd bet something will be done about it. I don't think the actions taken to address this issue will make a dent since motivated teams will find another loophole.

The league can’t change their rules in the middle of the season. All 31 teams have agreed to a set of rules to operate under and have the same freedom to do as they wish within those guidelines. Tampa (and Toronto) is taking advantage so credit to them. We could have done the same.
It’s a loophole to close in the future but I can’t be mad at the league for not enforcing some penalties on Tampa for what they’re doing this season.

Man a 2nd round of Carolina-Tampa, insufferable fanbase vs team legally circumvnting the rules, and then the winner likely faces the Leafs. Definitely cheering for the West this year.

They are required to activate the players when they are fit to play though, which makes it extremely fishy if they just happen to be healthy by game 1 of the playoffs.

I'm with you, if it actually plays out that way.
My son is now living in Denver, and he and his GF are crazy, diehard Avs fans...STH"s there before COVID. I can only wish (or is it a dream) for another Panthers / Avalanche SCF matchup.
My family might not be the same for a bit.Otherwise, it will be go AVS for me.

My point is not to fine them this year, it's too late.
But do you honestly think the NHL will do anything about this? They'll ignore it like they do the painkiller problem.

Ofc they will do something about it because it drives up the payroll and that's something all owners agree upon, or at least "they should" because otherwise that'll rock the boat. The cap limit isn't purely to keep all teams competitive within some arbitrary range but rather limit the expenditure on salaries.
The painkiller issue is something else, it has no bearing on revenue and/or costs (until the negative PR begins to affect the bottom line).

I feel for you mate. Even with the greatest of parenting, sometimes things like that happen.I'm with you, if it actually plays out that way.

Then we need to petition for an early release in honor of Sam Bennett's freedom from Calgary!
