Bit of a risky term length but I wouldn't necessarily call it an "overpay". Even if he isn't playing like a star 5-6 years from now, the cap going up and other factors will make the AAV not seem as "egregious" as some on twitter would say it does at the moment.
fans of Canadian NHL teams on twitter/instagram comments are absolutely losing their sh!t about VGK winning the Cup. Saying how terrible it is for the league overall and how Bettman and upper MGMT are sacrificing the sanctity of the game in order to make money and artificially pump-up their expansion teams.
I "learned" how to swim at 3 years old by my father putting me in a life jacket and tossing me off the dock into the lagoon my grandparents used to live on. I love swimming in a pool now but for some reason I hate the ocean, go figure.
I really hope this is a new beginning of that late 1990s- early 2000's streak of Ranger irrelevance. IIRC they missed the playoffs for 8 seasons in a row and then we swept them out of the first round in 2006. I need this to happen again, especially now that the Devs could potentially be a threat to everyone for the next decade
Actually when you think about it, winning the Stanley Cup is more rare than climbing mount everest. About 800 people reach the summit every year, only 1 team wins the Cup every year
Of course now that I look it up I can't find any stories that line up with my description but AFAIK, Green Boots is farther down from the summit outside of a small alcove on the side of the mountain, and they still haven't positively ID'd the body
This league is an absolute laughingstock and idiotic decisions like this are why you have morons like Stephen A. Smith saying "Hockey doesn't count" when talking sports. This league will NEVER earn the respect that it should because it's run like a fvcking middle school.
