Only this series? You have been nagging about taxes and "40% over cap" for ages. It can not possibly be healthy to be like that. Take care of your mind, man.

True. And also True. It's not Tampa's fault nor their fans, but the fact remains that franchise can spend most any other franchise. It's an unfair but very real advantage.

Not sure. I like to make up things sometimes.

You do realize that
1. Most players if they don't pay state taxes for half their games (they pay state taxes on road games) have to pay more in their federal taxes.
2. Cost of living differences in Florida eat into the lack of taxes.
3. The way things are structed in the NHL most players pay a lower effective tax rate than us regular idiots.
4. Because of their wealth they pay a lower effective tax rate than most of us because they have access to tax professionals.
5. To put a finer point on this: They only don't pay it on home games, they pay taxes on road games.

Where Is My Mind?
Wasn’t one of my teams… a Canadian team nobody saw being here and the team that beat my team last Finals.
Some people are throwing a fit but that was an exciting postseason/Finals.

Joseph just said "great f***ing suit" right on live TV at the start of an interview on Sportsnet.

I was obviously talking in relation to past decades, the 60s, 70s, 80s. The rules have changed and there are more teams. I am not trying make a case for my team either, I couln't care less whether some sour grapes on HF think we have a dynasty or not. The Blackhawks with their 3 SC wins in recent years were a dynasty.
Point had hip surgery and missed the start of last season. Seguin had hip surgery two months before Kucherov followed by having his knee scoped six weeks later and only played three games at the end of this season. Apparently healing and coming back from rehab after four and a half months is too quick for this guy

And people only complain about a good team, no one mentions Florida, Dallas, wherever else.

Yeah, well the dude with the mic whose name i can never remember just said "shinny".... i'm pretty sure that's a swear
And if it's not, it should be
Shinny is what they call hockey that is played on a frozen pond or outdoor rink.
I honestly was thinking "sh**ty* though, after what Joseph said.

Tampa has 5 players who benefit from the lack of state taxes. Those are the 5 American players. Every other player on the team has to pay taxes to their home countries (unless they give up their citizenship). The taxes they pay to their home countries are prorated based on the state and federal taxes they pay in the United States. No state tax=more taxes paid back home. You're talking about a benefit that a lot of players don't actually see.
