The US was up 11-5 with less than 4 minutes left in the game and they got their #1 power play unit on the ice and score.

That's just mean and unnecessary.

USA USA USA!

Leafs take it. I am 4 for 4 predicting this series. Follow me and I will guide you.

The tax thing is complex and overblown. It is not as big a difference as many claim but is a factor.
How do signing bonuses affect that though? They are still taxed.

I don't even think karma/hockey gods will step in because I think they're far and away the best team in the tournament.

Depends where you’re from, American playing in Canada get a break on the signing bonus from what I read when Kessel signed here.

With signing bonuses you can lower the amount of taxes paid over the contract when compared to having a high salary per year and low bonuses. https://www.forbes.com/si...ew-contract/#3d719a451ab7 explains it.

Matthews is taxed 15% for those signing bonuses. U.S and Canada have an agreement about work bonuses.

Also, if you put over 15 million in 1 day in an account like Tavares got, the interest is massive and much higher than being spread-out over 7 years.

Taxed 15% - in Canada. He pays the remainder owed to Uncle Sam, so he's not off the hook for it.

4-0 Leafs. Freddie Andersen, best goalie of all time, with a 48 save shutout. I guarantee it!

Go Leafs Go!

So pathetic.

1) Big Beers
2) Grilled anything
3) Comfy Couch
4) Wife cannot be on the same floor
5) My pops on the phone for the entire game

Depends on which state he claims to live in. Buy a house in FLA and there’s no tax or a lot less?
