Oh wow, gee, who woulda guessed? Vegas getting the special treatment again? Just like when Hossa got sick from his elbow-pads. 😐

Since Fleury shoveled snow, his salary should be changed from player to maintenance. Its only fair.

Bettman saying, "We don't always want Vegas to win...but we want Vegas to win."

Maybe not the cup specifically, but it's definitely in the NHL's best interest to have a lot of it's marketable stars in areas they can use them to generate the most revenue.  This includes having teams that generally win in those markets to keep public sentiment high.

I don't think Vegas as a city would tolerate a losing team, at least not for multiple seasons so it's my opinion that Vegas is going to frequently see little breaks like this while teams like the Wild just don't.  Or at least it sure seems like deck is stacked a bit more in those teams' favor.
