@edgs1803 @DaveAMcCarthy Methinks what Vegas is doing is about to become the new norm in hockey
Interesting take for sure

@ThatOne80410034 @DaveAMcCarthy I agree, but it's a bad look. Holding someone back from doing a job they love, just because you can is petty. Vegas will get their karma when they look for some help with trades and acquisitions, or even a new coach, and other GMs and coaches tell Vegas to kiss their arses.
English
I hate to disparage the good name of Mickey Mouse so I will say this is total clown behaviour from the Golden Knights.
You determine a guy is not good enough to coach your team, which is fair, but standing in his way of finding work is a joke.

Hearing Vegas has also denied LA permission to speak with Bruce Cassidy. Don’t believe Toronto has asked to talk to him as of last night.
English
@joann87771 @BryanLords @ChargersSuck69 @VGK_Fan4Life That's funny, the Crown found insufficient evidence to convict in Canadian court, and E.M. constantly was changing her story to where the jury didn't believe her
NOT
GUILTY
Take your bitch ass cryfest elsewhere
English
@BryanLords @ChargersSuck69 @VGK_Fan4Life Actually he kind of is. Not guilty does not remove innocence.
English
VGK haters, You’d give your right arm to have an owner like Bill Foley. An owner who prioritizes filling rafters w/ banners over all else. Look at Jerry Jones…Dallas hasn’t won in 30 years but his wallet & stadium stays full. Foley knows win & the rest takes care of itself.
English
English
@VGK_Fan4Life Calling an owner great when all he did was take advantage of a rigged draft is exactly why people hate the @GoldenKnights
Just shutup and be happy that your team is being handed every opportunity to win. It would be like the Harlem Globetrotters complaining about officiating.
English
@dstaples I think an Avalanche of bad karma is coming their way.
English
Bruce Cassidy helped Vegas win a Stanley Cup. Then Vegas fired him. Now they are going to block him from choosing his next job?
Who would want to work for an organization defined by malice and ingratitude? And what kind of team owner or manager would want to invite that kind of wretched karma on themselves?
If Vegas carries through on this threat and blocks Cassidy, good luck to them with the curse it will put on their franchise.

'A bad look': Hockey world has hate on for Vegas Golden Knights for blocking Bruce Cassidy edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/… via @edmontonjournal
English
@dstaples VGK didn't fire Cassidy, he was relieved of duties. He's still on VGK's payroll
English
@treydaubert @NHLJackManning Everyone had an attitude bc it was at most a 2 until Q had a fuckin aneurysm on the bench and yelled at the refs for a stiffer call.
THAT'S why VGK is pissed. Refs should be the ones making calls, not some ratfuck has-been coach that covered up sexual assault to win a Cup(2010)
English
@NHLJackManning Torts had an attitude about the McNabb suspension and it may have been worse if he spoke that night. That’s all I’ve been able to find out thus far.
English
This is very disappointing. I would really like to hear from the team what led them to make the decisions that led to the loss of the pick
I just can't make any sense of it.

Vegas/NHL met at 10 am today As it stands, penalties remain as assessed: $100K fine to John Tortorella Second-round pick. There is possibility if Vegas is compliant with rules, there could be some addressing of this in the future…but it doesn’t sound like there’s room for draft penalty to be revoked…
English
@NHLJackManning I'd like to hear from the league why not speaking to the media carries an exponentially heavier penalty than a systematic covering up of sexual assault by a GM down to the coaching staff.
English
@NeilGarritty @DaveAMcCarthy Drai had it coming, he'd been hacking at Petro's ankles ALL game long.
Crysaitl couldn't handle getting a taste of his own medicine
English
@DaveAMcCarthy All of this because the least penalized team in the past 4 years are upset about a player getting a 1 game suspension. Pietrangelo got one game for attempting an on-ice amputation of Draisaitl’s arm and the league invented a rule to make the suspensions “fair.”
English
@edgs1803 @DaveAMcCarthy It doesn't scare them. GMKM knows damn well EDM will hire Butch on the spot, so he's purposely being petty just to piss off Edmonton, and it's honestly hilarious seeing ppl lose their shit over this drama
Cassidy is contractually being paid by VGK still, so no talks
English
@DaveAMcCarthy This is the hypocrisy of McCrimmon--He fires Gallant when SanJose parted ways with DeBoer, then hired him, Fired DeBoer when Boston let Cassidy go and hired him. Nobody blocked interviews. He fired a good coach and knows it. Cassidy going to a western conference team scares Vegas
English
@Sbstud11 @SinBinVegas Hnidy IIRC has a side contract with TNT for the 1st/2nd rounds.
Idk what Goucher does in the offseason
English
@SinBinVegas I noticed that last series vs the Ducks, the broadcast had Troy Terry on the mic throughout the game, but nobody from the VGK.. i wonder if that played a role in it.
English
As somewhat expected, VGK didn't really have much grounds on their appeal.
Costly, avoidable error.
Emily Kaplan@emilymkaplan
The Vegas Golden Knights appealed the NHL’s punishment in person this morning. It was determined that the penalties - a $100,000 fine for John Tortorella and loss of a second round draft pick - will remain as assessed.
English
@BaylesLawGroup @SinBinVegas Literally lmao
Make it make fuckin sense
English
@SinBinVegas Apparently this is the worse than the Blackhawks covering up a sex scandal..
English
@SinBinVegas Yet Shitcago covers up LITERAL sexual abuse and gets Bedard giftwrapped
Make it make a goddamn ounce of fucking sense, Bettman🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
English
@TonyDasco No way. VGK gonna stick it to Deadmonton and continue to make McFraud into a 🤡. He'll become an analyst.
Why bother helping a hated division rival
English
I have the plan. The golden knights will allow Bruce Cassidy to coach the Oilers only if he gets Bowman to agree to take Adin Hill and his 6.5 AAV with him. They need a goalie and a coach. Everyone’s happy. #forgedingold #letsgooilers
English
@NedRyerson1957 @EichelBetter @gomezalex408 @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse Making smart trades is "extortion"?
Lmao Retard alert
English
@EichelBetter @gomezalex408 @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse That doesn't matter. This has never been done before. Vegas brilliantly took this advantage and extorted (for lack of a better word) other teams. They destroyed the chess match.
English
@NedRyerson1957 @gomezalex408 @EichelBetter @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse There was zero advantage, my GOD y'all are just pathetic at this point. Bettman told EVERY team to have a list of exposed/protected players ready.
VGK chose from exposed ones & even made trades in the ED. Majority of the exposed players were 3rd/4th liners, not 1st liners.
English
@gomezalex408 @EichelBetter @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse They had an advantage. Plain and simple. What they did with it was brilliant, but it definitely was there.
English
@gomezalex408 @EichelBetter @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse Fuckin cry about it lmao
Omelette IQ brainlet mad our FO has balls and makes aggressive moves for big names
English
@EichelBetter @KnightsMuse_ @JNB__09 @statmuse Stanley cup final in their first season and winning it 5-6 years later? Yeah you guys will NEVER hear the end of it
English
@vixenzs__ If we wanna stay contenders, Korzy, Hill, and Saad gotta got minimum.
Can't stay competitive with a roster average age of 30. Need to get younger
English
during the off season I feel like the Knights are going to trade some or all of the following;
C. Smith
K. Korczak
A. Hill
A. Schmid (💔)
B. Saad
I really hope I'm wrong about Schmid but I just have a really bad feeling it's going to happen.
