Fair play means everyone plays by the same rules. There is no rule that says "only Las Vegas, Tampa Bay, and Colorado can put someone on LTIR and activate them for the playoffs"; anyone can do it. How come the "big money teams" like Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Boston aren't doing it? Should we blame Montreal for doing it and faking Carey Price's problem? Nah, they're going to miss the playoffs so that doesn't advance the conspiracy. Maybe Toronto is in fact doing it and they just made up a story about Muzzin and Matt Murray.

And quit with the strawman crap.
Nobody is saying every damn injury is faked. We're saying a player gets hurt, the team goes out and loads up on expensive players using up the LTIR from that player getting hurt, then they have that player stay out and rest until either a)a different player gets hurt and goes on LTIR or b) the playoffs start and the salary cap doesn't matter anymore.
