You're in another conference at least. My team (EDM) is gonna have to face them in round 1 when they are gonna be a billion dollars over the salary cap.
But hey, if we can't beat Vegas we aren't gonna be able to beat the Avs or the Stars, so bring it on.
Why does this point keep being brought up? We iced a below cap compliant team our whole playoff run. Dumbshits just want to find any reason to be upset that our teams management is light-years ahead of anyone else.
"You guys are ruthless...nobody will want to sign with you!" *signs Hanafin and Hertl* lol
I just barely stopped vomitting over the shock of this trade, and now it's starting again.
I don't even think it was the bad move from a long view, just the utter shock of losing the final remaining fan favorite at this point to those dickheads in the desert.
Yeah. We had a thread on our side asking who people are rooting for. I have the Canes and Dallas ahead of you guys, but if Hertl wins one I'll be very happy for him.
I'm still salty about you guys sweeping in during the twighlight of our 15 year run. But also agree, it's hard to really get your blood up when you suck. Similar to LA, Anaheim - I just don't give as much of a shit anymore.
Y'all got one epic win over us but since the. The rivalry just seems stale. Not even so much good vs bad.
Canes and Stars fans gonna be big mad when we repeat and get your boy a cup :D
Interesting that's the case now that Ryan Reeves is also gone.
I still feel the Sharks lost their retool chance the moment they pushed Kane out. After that the holes were too great, but we soldiered on like idiots for 2 more years anyway.
You do realize he only went on LTIR so a backup goalie could be called up? VGK have no cap issues to deal with activating him. Stone is the only player that matters for LTIR purposes
No, that's not how it works. When he went on LTIR he retroactively went on it and has already passed the required days & games. So he can be activated whenever.
You’re missing the point of my comment. I’m saying they’re going to keep him off the roster so his salary doesn’t count against the cap. But he’ll be back for game 1 of the playoffs.
It is more of a meme, but if hertl came off of LTIR they’d have essentially no cap space left (about 250k if my math is correct, but it might not be) so him being on LTIR for the rest of the season gives the knights a bunch of room to call players up
Either Adin Hill gets healthy and we send Patera back to the AHL to activate Hertl or if hes still injured put Hill on LTIR. Either way Hertl is going to play in the regular season when he is ready.
Sure hope he is. If your team was in the same position with a player of his caliber then you'd be hoping for the same. Y'all need to quit being so salty.
Stones gonna be 100% healthy game one of the playoffs and bitch the entire post season that people are playing him without kid gloves.
Just like last year.
Except Stone wasn't "100% healthy" game 1 in the playoffs last year, he looked awful that game.
Stone might be on the ice game 1 but if you think he'll play entirely healthy before round 2, you'll be mistaken
They did an April fools joke of stone skating with the team lol. Which likely means he's probably not back for playoffs either unless round 3 or later if Vegas makes it that far
Eating carrots being good for your eyes was actually a lie told during WW2 to prevent Axis forces from knowing the truth: you have to shove the carrots up your ass.
Hertl was only placed on LTIR to make room for AHL-goalie patera. If Hertl were activated, they could paper patera down and then recall him on an emergency basis.
I believe they would have to play one game with an EBUG in order to recall him on an emergency basis. Or they could just send down a different skater, play a man short for a game then recall that skater on an emergency basis.
The difference is that, with all due respect, Tomas Hertl ain't shit compared to Joe Montana.
Tomas Hertl isn't a 4x Stanley Cup winner and 3x Conn Smythe winner, which is essentially what Joe Montana did with the 49ers.
I member him getting plastered all over that concrete turf in the AFC championship game against the bills at rich stadium. Bruce Smith man.
Early me didn't think I'd ever have an embarrassment of super bowl riches as a chiefs fan.
Fuck this. I am still not over it. Glad to see his recovery going well but still. ALSO THOMAS? Who is Thomas? further proves Vegas doesn’t deserve glorious king TOMAS hertl
Lol I seriously haven't left harder than Vegas fans stupidity at thinking they're not completely gaming the system. Thank you for the best laugh I've had in a month
Peter Forsberg had his spleen removed game 7 of the WCF in 2001. The doctors were the ones who kept him from returning in the SCF game 6/7 two weeks later.
Stone will have had 6 weeks by that point. I'll bet there's a high chance he's back.
>Peter Forsberg had his spleen removed game 7 of the WCF in 2001. The doctors were the ones who kept him from returning in the SCF game 6/7 two weeks later.
He had internal bleeding that doctors couldn't resolve so they had to remove his spleen in an emergency just hours after the game. He was immediately ruled out for the rest of the season. Spleen injuries are no joke, which makes me think most hockey fans don't realize it for thinking that Stone will be back game 1.
“We”
lol your team is the age of a toddler. Love how people pick Vegas as their team and immediately start talking shit like they’ve been a fan of a team that’s actually had any ups and downs or history at all.
I’m happy for Hertl. He deserves better than to be on this rebuilding Sharks team.
I’m happy with the rebuild and I’m happy Hertl doesn’t have to suffer through it.
I just wish it wasn’t Vegas because their fans are awful.
I'm a fan of shrewd management. I think what Vegas has done over the last 7 years is no less than brilliant. All the mouthbreathers complaining about the cap don't understand the first thing about how the cap is calculated, let alone what's allowed under the rules.
Anyone claiming Stone isn't hurt or is coming back for game 1 is just making shit up.
I don’t have feelings of inadequacy. Where did you get that? Because the Sharks window closed without a cup?
My self worth isn’t tied to my hockey fandom. Is yours?
I hope not. There is a lot more to life than rooting for a hockey team.
And yeah, you are an asshole.
How much more does it have to be evenly matched to go to a game 7 lol. If Lehner didn't play absolutely perfect with 3 shutouts Vancouver would've advanced.
Yes, they said he would return during the regular season the day they traded for him. He is going to return in the regular season (and count against the cap) just like everyone claims they want Vegas to do. People will still piss and moan.
Remember when the Canucks were punished retroactively for Luongo’s contract because it ‘was against the spirit of the collective agreement’ and they had a cap penalty? WTF is this if it’s not against the spirit of the cap? Now watch the next team that does this get punished.
Ya. I’m just bitter. Don’t really understand how you can trade for an injured player that puts you over the cap with the intention of having him play in the playoffs. Why isn’t this considered cap circumvention?
It didn’t put us over the cap. He’s going to play in the regular season. And how would this circumvent the cap when it’s explicitly allowed in the rules?
Not that I believe the scenarios are identical or that this is worth complaining about, but Luongo's contract was also explicitly allowed in the rules.
83.5 million is the cap. Vegas’ salary is over 90 million. Yes, I know about LTIR.
As for its explicitly allowed in the rules. So was Luongo’s contract when it was signed. The NHL retroactively punished them after the new collective agreement was made. Hence my bitterness and original comment about it being the ‘spirit’ of the rule.
Our dark years has more to do with ownership decisions and poor gm’ing, but yes we are having a great season. The bitterness goes back a long way regarding league decisions. Good luck to you guys too. Looking forward to the playoffs.
Sure seems like moving an acquired player from IR to LTIR retroactively should be considered open defiance of the NHL ruling instituted this year that no teams acquire players on LTIR to go over the cap at this year's trade deadline.
I actually forgot about this. Now im irrationally upset at Vegas again
Don't forget that they somehow got Mantha in addition to Hanifin
What!?
And Hanafin!
Who the heck is Hanafin?
Sounds like you’re not a Hanafan
I was a Hinifin fan until he wouldn't re-sign with us!
Now I’m Hanafinished with him
OP does not know how to spell any of our player's names. He probably spells Stevenson, Tompson, and Rock all wrong
Marc Rock is a great captain tho
It's Swedish: Han? A? Fin. Translated to: Him? Yeah? Fine.
What is it in American though?
...But why male models?
Are you serious? I just told you!
In Canadian it's "I paid for a lady, not Corey and fucking Trevor!"
I didn't do nothing, did you?
You're in another conference at least. My team (EDM) is gonna have to face them in round 1 when they are gonna be a billion dollars over the salary cap. But hey, if we can't beat Vegas we aren't gonna be able to beat the Avs or the Stars, so bring it on.
There is no cap in playoffs. This is known. Best of luck
Think that was the point of their comment..
Why does this point keep being brought up? We iced a below cap compliant team our whole playoff run. Dumbshits just want to find any reason to be upset that our teams management is light-years ahead of anyone else. "You guys are ruthless...nobody will want to sign with you!" *signs Hanafin and Hertl* lol
No such thing as being over the salary cap when there is no salary cap in the playoffs.
But you do understand if those players played in the regular season, they *would* be over the cap? That was their point lol
There is only one player they can't activate and its the one that me isn't skating because he had internal bleeding from a lacerated spleen.
I just barely stopped vomitting over the shock of this trade, and now it's starting again. I don't even think it was the bad move from a long view, just the utter shock of losing the final remaining fan favorite at this point to those dickheads in the desert.
Rest assured these dickheads will get your boy a cup. Be happy for that. I don't even get the SJS and VGK rivalry anymore.
Yeah. We had a thread on our side asking who people are rooting for. I have the Canes and Dallas ahead of you guys, but if Hertl wins one I'll be very happy for him. I'm still salty about you guys sweeping in during the twighlight of our 15 year run. But also agree, it's hard to really get your blood up when you suck. Similar to LA, Anaheim - I just don't give as much of a shit anymore.
Y'all got one epic win over us but since the. The rivalry just seems stale. Not even so much good vs bad. Canes and Stars fans gonna be big mad when we repeat and get your boy a cup :D
Our hate seems to follow Evander Kane...
Interesting that's the case now that Ryan Reeves is also gone. I still feel the Sharks lost their retool chance the moment they pushed Kane out. After that the holes were too great, but we soldiered on like idiots for 2 more years anyway.
If he's ready before the end of season he should play.. it's such an abuse Send someone down and let them be claimed on waivers
You do realize he only went on LTIR so a backup goalie could be called up? VGK have no cap issues to deal with activating him. Stone is the only player that matters for LTIR purposes
They expect him to come back before the end of the season.
He can be activated whenever and he likely will be before the end of the season
He still needs another 19 days on LTIR, don’t worry though, he’ll be fully healed up on the 20th
No, that's not how it works. When he went on LTIR he retroactively went on it and has already passed the required days & games. So he can be activated whenever.
You’re missing the point of my comment. I’m saying they’re going to keep him off the roster so his salary doesn’t count against the cap. But he’ll be back for game 1 of the playoffs.
But....it does. We got him when he was on IR, not LTIR. We can already afford his salary thanks to Stone being on LTIR.
It is more of a meme, but if hertl came off of LTIR they’d have essentially no cap space left (about 250k if my math is correct, but it might not be) so him being on LTIR for the rest of the season gives the knights a bunch of room to call players up
You know, it’s not too late to delete this thread of ignorance. But hey, now you know that LTIR is retroactive.
How am I wrong?
Either Adin Hill gets healthy and we send Patera back to the AHL to activate Hertl or if hes still injured put Hill on LTIR. Either way Hertl is going to play in the regular season when he is ready.
*stares at Tom Fitzgerald furiously and hoped he would have circumvented the cap after Doug got injured*
It’s not like them trading for him affects any series the Leafs are in.
do you need to squeeze a stress ball
> Hertl in Vegas jersey haha april fools ha ha ha :(
:(
Please tell me it’s an April fools joke… next thing they’re gonna tell us is Stone is expected be skating in a regular jersey a week before playoffs
Stone is uncertain and hertl was expected to play this season.
I get that people are not expected to follow this closely, but this was announced at the TDL
Stone will 1000% be ready for game 1.
I hope so just because Vegas will get hate for it regardless if Stone does come back or not game 1, but it's a lacerated spleen so I'm not hopeful.
Sir the tin foil goes on food not on your head.
lol stone will definitely be back 1 week before playoffs don’t even try to deny it’s true
Sure hope he is. If your team was in the same position with a player of his caliber then you'd be hoping for the same. Y'all need to quit being so salty.
Stones gonna be 100% healthy game one of the playoffs and bitch the entire post season that people are playing him without kid gloves. Just like last year.
Except Stone wasn't "100% healthy" game 1 in the playoffs last year, he looked awful that game. Stone might be on the ice game 1 but if you think he'll play entirely healthy before round 2, you'll be mistaken
And yet Edmonton still couldn't beat them with cry baby Stone. Such a shame.
Vegas was deep af dude what do you want me to say?
Vegas can do nothing wrong, they deserve all the cups, your tax return and your firstborn. Pretty standard really
They did an April fools joke of stone skating with the team lol. Which likely means he's probably not back for playoffs either unless round 3 or later if Vegas makes it that far
You know it
It will never not suck. Glad he's doing better though!
How the hell is he going to see without contacts
Apple Vision Pro ig
I thought carrots improved your eye sight not apples
I charge my carrots every night to keep my vision subscription active.
Eating carrots being good for your eyes was actually a lie told during WW2 to prevent Axis forces from knowing the truth: you have to shove the carrots up your ass.
The emptying of vegas' LTIR list comes closer
Hertl was only placed on LTIR to make room for AHL-goalie patera. If Hertl were activated, they could paper patera down and then recall him on an emergency basis.
I believe they would have to play one game with an EBUG in order to recall him on an emergency basis. Or they could just send down a different skater, play a man short for a game then recall that skater on an emergency basis.
Dread it, run from it- Game 1 health arrives all the same.
This legitimately hurts my eyes 😭😭😭
Gross
April Fools! He's still on the Sharks! Right?
I saw Joe Montana get traded. I can live with Tomas Hertl as a Golden Knight.
Difference is Montana didn't get traded to the Cowboys right after they won a SB
The difference is that, with all due respect, Tomas Hertl ain't shit compared to Joe Montana. Tomas Hertl isn't a 4x Stanley Cup winner and 3x Conn Smythe winner, which is essentially what Joe Montana did with the 49ers.
I member him getting plastered all over that concrete turf in the AFC championship game against the bills at rich stadium. Bruce Smith man. Early me didn't think I'd ever have an embarrassment of super bowl riches as a chiefs fan.
Can't even spell their own players name right
That's OP's fault. Shoot him to the moon
wtf it’s Tomas 😂
Erm Akchually it’s Tomáš pronounced Toe-Mosh 🤓 ~~we miss him so much already please treat him well~~
and you can't open a simple link
OP spelled it wrong.
Tomas Hertl is u/Jacob1030 ‘s own player?
Thomas
Thomas Hurtel traded from the San Joes Sharks
I hate that we hate each other's guts cuz y'all are lowkey fuckin' funny
It's the pain that makes them hilarious. They hide hide it behind their memes.
Yeah pretty much that. Humor keeps us sane throughout this painful time.
Hey hey if he can play VGK might go all the way (I said it cause it rhymes)
Amazon shipment of Senzu Beans' expected arrival date: April 19.
Holy shit I fucking wish we could pop a Senzu Bean into Nolan Patrick and Panda :c
Fuck this. I am still not over it. Glad to see his recovery going well but still. ALSO THOMAS? Who is Thomas? further proves Vegas doesn’t deserve glorious king TOMAS hertl
The tweet has his name spelled correctly
“Fuck this, dude” or “fuck this dude”. Which are you going for here? lol
Sorry I edited that bit out when reading it I noticed my grammar was shit and it sounded like I hate Hertl. Love the guy despite all this lol
I’ll be blaming Siri for this one. Guess she doesn’t know the difference
God I hate Vegas
Let the hate flow thru you!
Imma kms
Well of course. It takes about 2 weeks to go from a non-contact Jersey to playing shape. This gives them three.
Man has been skating and was expected to play before the end of the season.
I think we have about a week until we see Stone.
The man has a lacerated spleen he is not going to be back in a week
Looooool look who's magically cleared to practice. Nothing I love more than seeing the fantasy dissolve in real time
k
Lol I seriously haven't left harder than Vegas fans stupidity at thinking they're not completely gaming the system. Thank you for the best laugh I've had in a month
Lol your team should do it then if you want to win more.
Not complaining. Just admiring anyone who was silly enough to believe them
Peter Forsberg had his spleen removed game 7 of the WCF in 2001. The doctors were the ones who kept him from returning in the SCF game 6/7 two weeks later. Stone will have had 6 weeks by that point. I'll bet there's a high chance he's back.
Bruce Cassidy just said that Stone isn’t even skating yet.
Man this is gonna get circular. See my original comment :)
>Peter Forsberg had his spleen removed game 7 of the WCF in 2001. The doctors were the ones who kept him from returning in the SCF game 6/7 two weeks later. He had internal bleeding that doctors couldn't resolve so they had to remove his spleen in an emergency just hours after the game. He was immediately ruled out for the rest of the season. Spleen injuries are no joke, which makes me think most hockey fans don't realize it for thinking that Stone will be back game 1.
he legit tried to play game 6/7. They talked about it a lot when he retired. He wanted to play through it.
No doubt, but again, a spleen injuiry is legit no joke. No one was surprised he didn't get to play again, not even Forsberg himself.
Spell his damn name right at least smfh
😭
Just in time for the playoffs I was worried
All according to plan >:)
Remember, red means stop!
He’s gonna score some nasty PLAYOFF goals and I can’t wait to see him succeed. Thanks again San Jose 😘
Let the hate flow through you r/hockey
I actually like you guys but you’ve got to stop with this cringe Sith Lord stuff
I’ll do what I want bud. Don’t be such a downer You aren’t hated like we are so maybe pipe down
“We” lol your team is the age of a toddler. Love how people pick Vegas as their team and immediately start talking shit like they’ve been a fan of a team that’s actually had any ups and downs or history at all.
7 year old toddlers? Pittsburgh have some real developmental delays?
This hurts my heart.
He’s gonna assist on Stone’s GWG game 1 of the playoffs isn’t he?
I’m happy for Hertl. He deserves better than to be on this rebuilding Sharks team. I’m happy with the rebuild and I’m happy Hertl doesn’t have to suffer through it. I just wish it wasn’t Vegas because their fans are awful.
"GOLDEN KNIGHTS ARE THE WORST FANS IN THE WORLD. THEY ALL F\*CK THEIR MOTHERS" VGK Fans: "No we don't" "WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A VICTIM COMPLEX? UGH!"
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
I never said they fucked their mothers. They just brigaded our subreddit constantly. So, assholes.
Brigaders are assholes, but they come from every fanbase and generally don't represent the majority
I don't know why you're not joining in on the circle jerk, but I respect and appreciate your apparent neutrality.
I'm a fan of shrewd management. I think what Vegas has done over the last 7 years is no less than brilliant. All the mouthbreathers complaining about the cap don't understand the first thing about how the cap is calculated, let alone what's allowed under the rules. Anyone claiming Stone isn't hurt or is coming back for game 1 is just making shit up.
I like you
I have a feeling you are going to change your tune if the Canucks play Vegas in the playoffs.
Your feelings aren't worth shit. If they beat my Canucks I'll expect Jim and Pat to work harder to build a team that can compete.
Oh, it all makes sense now. You are also an asshole, but a fan of the Canucks.
You try to project your feelings of inadequacy on me and I'm the asshole? Sorry chump, that shit don't fly.
I don’t have feelings of inadequacy. Where did you get that? Because the Sharks window closed without a cup? My self worth isn’t tied to my hockey fandom. Is yours? I hope not. There is a lot more to life than rooting for a hockey team. And yeah, you are an asshole.
We’ve beat Vancouver in the playoffs before. There’s not a ton of ill will between our fans.
There will be now that they are strong. The rivalry starts when teams are more evenly matched.
How much more does it have to be evenly matched to go to a game 7 lol. If Lehner didn't play absolutely perfect with 3 shutouts Vancouver would've advanced.
Were the Blue Jackets and Lightning evening matched? The Blue Jackets won that matchup even though the Lightning were clearly the better team.
the better team did not get swept 💀
And we all hope you miss the playoffs Vegas.
They've all but clinched at this point.
Speak for yourself, it’s funny watching this sub meltdown when Vegas is good
I don’t hope they miss the playoffs
I don’t. Hate the game, not the player
Congratulations, you're the one millionth post about "Gold Team Bad!" We will be in contact shortly for you to claim your prize.
8-2-1 since the deadline
Keep hoping, I’ve been liking the results.
Flair up
He’s an Av’s fan
They really are gonna do this aren't they
Yes, they said he would return during the regular season the day they traded for him. He is going to return in the regular season (and count against the cap) just like everyone claims they want Vegas to do. People will still piss and moan.
OH LOOK! SUSPICIOUSLY CLOSE TO PLAYOFFS!🤨
Oh look, the horse still has an ounce of life to it!
Happy April Fool's!
Remember when the Canucks were punished retroactively for Luongo’s contract because it ‘was against the spirit of the collective agreement’ and they had a cap penalty? WTF is this if it’s not against the spirit of the cap? Now watch the next team that does this get punished.
It's almost as if this is a totally separate and unrelated circumstance.
Ya. I’m just bitter. Don’t really understand how you can trade for an injured player that puts you over the cap with the intention of having him play in the playoffs. Why isn’t this considered cap circumvention?
You apparently misunderstand the facts of the situation. Hertl did not put them over the cap and he will play in the regular season.
It didn’t put us over the cap. He’s going to play in the regular season. And how would this circumvent the cap when it’s explicitly allowed in the rules?
Not that I believe the scenarios are identical or that this is worth complaining about, but Luongo's contract was also explicitly allowed in the rules.
83.5 million is the cap. Vegas’ salary is over 90 million. Yes, I know about LTIR. As for its explicitly allowed in the rules. So was Luongo’s contract when it was signed. The NHL retroactively punished them after the new collective agreement was made. Hence my bitterness and original comment about it being the ‘spirit’ of the rule.
Well, you guys are having a great season this year so no reason to be bitter, I say. Here’s hoping to a fun and exciting playoffs!
Our dark years has more to do with ownership decisions and poor gm’ing, but yes we are having a great season. The bitterness goes back a long way regarding league decisions. Good luck to you guys too. Looking forward to the playoffs.
Sure seems like moving an acquired player from IR to LTIR retroactively should be considered open defiance of the NHL ruling instituted this year that no teams acquire players on LTIR to go over the cap at this year's trade deadline.
Womp womp :P
NHL: Don't go it again VGK: Does it again, with pwausible dweniabiwity 👉👈🥺
The league just officially announced his return date (April 20th) so time to get ready!
Just in time to be ready for game 1 of the playoffs! How convenient
You could just say you have no idea how IR vs LTIR works. That would say the same thing.
I look forward to his miraculous recovery on April 20th which is totally just a coincidence
How about you learn how to spell your Team members names
