What the hell is wrong with you?

If the law has a loophole that allows people to take advantage of it, exploiting that loophole isn’t criminal. If the CBA creates a system that allows teams to keep guys on LTIR, using that system isn’t cheating.

Precisely!

Nylander still hasn’t found a douche effective enough to get the sand out of his Va-Jay-Jay.

No worries.

Mitch will be 1st star tonight.

Book it.

ATM you and how you think your opinion matters more than how the league is run.

Well……
He’s in the hospital
Has a bunch of holes in his head
Had a seizure last night
Has to deal with us

I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt

Precisely!

The way I see it, teams better get the frank on board or get left behind. Not much room for “principles” when your opponents are taking advantage of the “loophole - not a loophole” and winning championships.

GO LEAFS (frank)ING GO!!!!!!!!

Coupled with the annoyance of people who think their opinions matter enough that they think it’s how the league should be run. That’s just obnoxious.

Had my first seizure here last night at about 4am (the sooner they get 4 or 5 the sooner I’ll get released)

I’ll thank it due it being game day for our leafs!!

Go Leafs Go!!!

YAY!!!

Were any of you aware that the NBA puts out a report on the officiating for the last two minutes of any game where the score was within 3 points during that 2 minutes?

And they admit when they frank up?

I'd be more imporessed if they didn't have to do that because a ref was on the take.

but yeah, it is a very good idea. It at least shows the fans that they are watching whats going on.

Again the CBA created a system that allowed teams to offer guys 15 year contracts that paid them top dollar in the first 8 years and then $1m for the next 7 well after the expected age of retirement. It was a clear and intentional violation of the spirit of the CBA.

Note one important factor: The CBA is a contract, so the spirit of the contract has meaning - which does differentiate it from a law (which is sort of the ground we arguing on here) because laws aren't really intended to exist with the idea of "against the spirit of the law".

As a result of the violation the NHL did impose penalties against some teams. They mostly backed down on them or excused a few - but the point remained that the few they didn't like seemingly were punished for it.

I guess in some ways that just goes back to something we have all complained about with the NHL - whether it's rules, governance, on-ice officiating, or off-ice safety punishment - there is no consistency nor enforcement of it in that league. If they were truly consistent attempts to circumvent the cap would result in a punishment.

I thought he's been OK in this series so far.

Every team in the league work with the exact same CBA. If the Leafs won the cup while taking advantages of ANY loophole, I don't think any of us would be crying foul. We would rightly point out that every other team in the league can do the same.

If you dont like it boo hoo.

It only needs to be legal.

I never said I didn't like it, so I dont need to be on the receiving end of your childish boo boo bullpoop.

Literally said I'd prefer the leafs be doing it too.
Grow up and read.

It's... Not up to you. There's nothing wrong with thinking something is greasy and acknowledging it's still within the rules at the same time.

You don't need to go on a 5 page tangent talking down to everyone who disagrees with you about it either, you're better than these stupid trolls who pull that poop so act like it.
