Focus on making it, fuck the rest. Rules all change anyways, and most of the cup winning teams are playing cap games with their LTIR, while the NHL looks the other way.
Are they a better playoff team? I mean not really. Their latest contracts are really heavy on performance incentives though, so if these kids want to get paid, they’ll perform a little better. We will see. Fucking refs will be fixing the games anyways, but maybe they’ll let them have another round.
