Who cares if they are cheating.

Seems like we have some closet Oiler and Canuck fans here.

And all you need, in order to to get in on the cheating, is to have your higher priced players get seriously injured! Why doesn't everyone do it?

These posters who says who cares if they are cheating would be whining like babies if we were playing the Oilers and they pulled the same crap.

Nope. I'd just continue mocking the Oilers for the myriad valid reasons to mock them.

Well that would mean it would be effecting the Flames so we would probably whine.

As it stands it doesnt effect the Flames so can't get myself to care at all. They are the rules.

That is for 25 players. There active line up is $750K over the cap, Toronto is $1.85M over the cap. It is a non factor.

Vegas cheating actually helps us we get a 2nd round pick. They can also clobber Winnipeg next round.

Wow only 750k? So a total non factor if that's true.

They do pull the same crap, see the cap space they are saving on a bull#### buyout of Kane by the Sharks and whatever happened with Perry where they picked him up for pennies on the dollar.

Their ACTIVE ROSTER (the exact words I used) is ~$10.75M over the cap.

Their dressed lineup is $750k over the cap, but they have $10M in healthy scratches sitting in the pressbox that they can call on at any point in time.

Name another team with a $10M pool of healthy scratches they can draw from to plug injuries. That's half an AHL team's worth of salary travelling, practicing, working out with the team, in the shape of 7 healthy NHLers waiting to be called on. If you think that's a "non-factor" then maybe you haven't thought of what a lot of teams have to go through when someone gets hurt.

Ps. The Leafs' active roster is $86M, and they actually have over $14M still on LTIR (no miraculous Game 1 appearance for any of those guys). Plus they're without Nylander, who didn't play tonight and isn't on LTIR.
