Terrible photoshop job. Look at their hands.

notwithstanding member squiggy taggin' your post as the, 'winner, winner - chicken dinner'... no, not shopped. That is an official TSN photo; on the right, a different angle for comparison:



Vasilevskiy's 'MichelinMan' look reflects upon how he chooses to wear his chest-protector... outside, not tucked... which allows the protector to rise up covering more of the net opening. It is also speculated he wears an additional padded "under garment" to allow the protector to rise up more easily.

The NHL regulates the size of equipment.  Stop believing the stupid conspiracy theories.

yabut lil' buddy: the coaches challenge has been done away with in regards goalie equipment, and the refs no longer measure any of that equipment. Instead the NHL went to spot checks with a dedicated guy assigned to 'drop in' and measure equipment at any time during the season. None of which has anything to do with an absence of regulation controlling how that equipment must be worn by respective goalies.

you don't see cause the dumbTaggin' cloud that follows you obscures how cap limits are manipulated by those teams that choose to cheat. The TBL weren't in a playoff race... didn't need Kucherov back in the lineup, so he remained on LTIR for the entire season only to be activated just in time for the playoffs. By activating him just before the deadline, Tampa Bay was able to acquire key players as Kucherov’s $9.5 million salary was not added to the cap this season.

More conspiracies Walduh….   Where’s the evidence?   Not your uncaring, uninformed opinion.

hey shyteForBrains, no conspiracy... the evidentiary facts were just stated! Let the waldo ridicule you further: the NHL's max salary cap allowed for the season was $81.5 mil; the Tampa Bay Lightning exceeded that with a cap hit of ~$98.8 mil (including ~$17.3 mil in salary on LTIR). As I stated, Kucherov's $9.5 million salary was a part of that LTIR amount. In actuality, TBL had 2 other players on LTIR to account for that additional $7.8 mil of the LTIR amount... difference was that in spite of missing the entire season, Kucherov healed so coincidentally to allow him to be activated just in time for the playoffs. And, of course, the cap doesn't apply in the playoffs. And again, as I stated, by TBL not including Kucherov's salary as a part of the allowed salary cap, they were able to sign other players, most notably defenseman Savard.

now runaway lil' dumbTagger, runaway, runaway!

So….  You have speculation and conspiracies….  No evidence that Kucherov wasn’t actually injured.  Plus, this rule is the same for every team.

Geezazz Walduh….   I asked for evidence, not your speculative fiction.

the waldo relishes you showcasing just what a putz you are! You were presented with evidentiary facts. Yes, the cap related rules are the same for all teams; however, TBL leveraged the miraculous timing of Kucherov's recovery to allow it to skirt penalties for being over the cap... and to, justInTime, activate him for the playoffs. That timing is highly coincidental to favour the TBL, both during the season and then into the playoffs once the guy was activated. Since you clearly know nothing about hockey, let the waldo acquaint you with the repercussions of exceeding the salary cap... repercussions the TBL skirted with that miraculous timed recovery of Kucherov allowing his move from LTIR to the playoff roster; specifically:

Teams found to have violated the cap face fines of up to US$5 million, cancellation of contracts, loss of draft picks, loss of points and/or forfeiture of game(s) determined to have been affected by the violation of the cap.

Evidence of a fake injury Walduh….   I’m not asking for much.

And not in the form of a photoshopped picture like your last tidbit of conspiracy nonsense.

just how dense are you, hey! The obvious point you keep missing is the timing aspect - again, the timing that had the player on LTIR right up to the deadline activation point to allow movement from LTIR to the TBL playoff roster. And accordingly, it allowed TBL to leverage cap space to allow other players to be contracted during the regular season; then, timed miraculously, to allow the player to come off LTIR and be moved on to the playoff roster - where the cap doesn't apply during playoffs. What's so difficult for you to grasp, you simpleton!

and again, if you think that photo was shopped you best take that up with TSN - again, it's an official TSN photo.

“The timing seems suspicious “ is conspiracy theory, not evidence.

It helps when you can just circumvent the cap.
Quote from: Black Dog on July 10, 2021, 02:07:19 pm
They were over the salary cap last year and would have lost some pieces, but Kucherov underwent surgery at the start of this year that conveniently kept him out of the lineup for the entire regular season meaning his salary didn't count to the cap. He was suddenly ready to play at the start of the playoffs when the cap no longer applies.
Quote from: kimmy on July 11, 2021, 02:36:34 am
That Kucherov spent the whole season on Long-Term Injury Reserve but was available right at the start of the playoffs, and played like he hadn't missed a day, gives the appearance of shenanigans.  It makes people wonder if it was done deliberately to evade salary cap rules.  Kucherov is one of the best (and highest paid) players in the league, and having him parachute into the playoffs onto a team that was already at the salary cap limit seemed like an attempt to skirt the rules.

of course, nothing will... can... change until the next CBA negotiations - current agreement runs through the 2025-26 NHL season. Possible solutions to teams manipulating the salary cap via LTIR:
- have the salary cap continue into the post-season, OR
- a player must have played 'x' number of the final regular season games before being allowed to play into the post-season; accordingly, a team would need to address being over the salary cap, OR as stated previously, deal with the repercussions of exceeding the salary cap; specifically:

Have evidence the photo is photoshopped?  Sounds like you're pushing a conspiracy theory.

We're getting another AHL team. Apparently they are getting lots of season ticket requests.
