A reporter predicated ridiculous and false things. Then the Knights did exactly what he predicted. They marched their good players out with a narrative. 

 

Except that is not ridiculous at all.

It’s not at all surprising that the Vegas PR people would brief players on how to handle questions at a press conference.  That’s seems extremely  normal.

What you said was that they wouldn’t have media availability at all (which I thought a ridiculous over reaction) then you said that they would only have  select players available who would toe the company line (which is pretty normal to have only select players available).

The premise of the piece was outstanding: the number of games Vegas lost to injury is entirely misleading because it includes players who never would have been able to actually dress under the cap.

It was impossible for them to ice a healthy roster and they planned it that way.

They didn't have a press conference, they had a press release with selected players driving a narrative. You call that normal, even as bad as the Sabres have been they never did that. If any team should have the Sabres should have. 

It's why the league and players rallied at the end of the season. We all know what they did and it's the giant white elephant sitting on the NHL right now.

 

Edit:

Imagine the Sabres telling the players that we never tanked and to get them to tell that narrative? That is what Vegas is doing.

People have every right to come here and say ridiculous, false things.

People have the right to come here and tell other people that what they are saying is ridiculous and false.

Both statements are true.

A lot of people today strongly care about being right, and use "their rights" to tell other people that they are not right.  Sometimes they use "their rights" to tell people they are not right in the wrong way.

Sure, I guess.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.  The Wright brothers were right.  Right angles are good but wrong angles aren’t.  Some people are right, some people are wrong, and some you just can’t tell, but 2 Out of 3 Ain’t Bad and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.

The last halfway decent song they made.  Ugh, to the rest.
