Watching the Preds Lightning right now, and during the power play, when ever you got the puck a thought bubble appears over the player with their name? This is bizzaro world!

Barf, read an article about tax implications and the salary cap. Teams with low tax rates in their states/provinces/country win the cup about 80% of the time. Since it was a Canadian article, they explained that there is little hope for any Canadian team to ever win the cup. Winning the cup requires depth, and depth is easily aquired when your star players can be paid less but take home more after taxes, freeing up cap space.

Hard to justify a "Canadian teams have no hope" when Edmonton just went to game 7 of the finals?

Tax law is definitely an advantage, but Canadian media definitely loves to overstate it.

@blotsfan , man I didn’t realize how young the Sabres are this year. They talked about it in the first period while I was watching the Stars broadcast. Looks like you’re building a good core for the next few years.

I've never been less proud to be an American. National Anthem getting mercilessly booed at the 4 Nations Tournament, and extremely rightfully so, because Mr "the world will respect us again" has to be a fat fucking bully and talk about trying to annex the goddamn host nation.

...three fights, less than 10 seconds of game time lmao

So many weird feelings, the captain of the Leafs left his man, Connor MacDavid, the best player in the world, alone in the slot to go double back check his buddy on the Leafs Mitch Marner.

What if I rooted for Team Canada both because I didn't want to cheer for Team USA AND all the Avs players were on that team.

(OK one was on Finland but ykwim)

I sure am glad I grew up being conditioned to be disappointed by professional sports. :p

I’ve had more practice than you at that, I listened to the Blues on radio for years. :) I haven’t had to test myself with a multiple overtime game in a few years though. The Stars have been kind enough to sink themselves by the end of the first OT for the past few years. This series is showing to be series we all expected though. Congrats on getting Landeskog back though. Heck of a return last night. Hoping we can get Robertson back on Saturday.

I grew up in Buffalo, with Buffalo sports. :D

But yeah, I was at the game last night and the arena was something like 75% Landy jerseys, it was electric.

I was just meaning length of disappointment, not that deep of a soul crushing levels as a Bills fan. ;)
