If you’re going to do PEDs at least help your team a little more

 

[HansonBro]

Some enhancement ...

The Vegas SWOLEden Knights

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I’d love to trash Vegas here, but the thing is that everybody is using. They just happen to have two guys that got caught.

 

[blankall]

Seems fair. The effects of PEDs go away after 20 games right?

 

[Mr. Met]

There goes his HHOF bid

 

[Drew Doubty]

Seems like they always find 1 or 2 bubble guys doping per year. Seems performative to me.

What happens in Vegas stays in... err... is illegal in the NHL.

 

[Kamiccolo]

That's 2 Vegas guys within a year isn't it?

 

[Jussi]

What's the substance?

 

[snipes]

Vegas Golden Cheaters

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

I thought what happened in Vegas stayed in Vegas?

 

[greasysnapper]

It explains how he made the team out of camp. He was better than he was for sure. It's very reminiscent of baseball where these guys on their last leg who are trying to get in the door get caught.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

yikes

I’d amend this to Vegas has two guys dumb enough (or poor enough) to be using things they can easily be caught taking.

 

[POVERTY]

As long as he's not on those performance enhancing marijuanas I can sleep knowing I'm safe

 

[hamzarocks]

Where was the performance boost

 

[Invalid cuz QoC]

How these guys get caught is mind boggling. With proper research and/or experienced people helping you, you should never get caught unless you get greedy.

 

[CountKong]

People on the fringe taking risk and breaking rules? That doesn't happen in the real world right...

 

[BruinsBtn]

This isn't great for Vegas' cap situation. That hit counts for the suspension

 

[M88K]

and the mystery of the overachieving roster is solved

 

[Jumptheshark]

wasnt he one of the guys the oilers let go last year that pissed off some of their fan base?

 

[theslatcher]

He started taking the substance when in Carolina or LA, and kept on taking it since.

Edit: McPhee used the word "supplements" instead of "substance".

Oof
