The Vegas Golden Knights have stirred controversy by strategically using the long-term injured list (LTIR) to manage their payroll in recent years, a tactic that led to their Stanley Cup victory in 2023.
While this strategy has helped their success on the ice, it has drawn criticism from fans of other teams who feel it gives the Golden Knights an unfair advantage.
One player often at the center of these discussions is
Mark Stone, whose frequent placement on the LTIR, followed by a timely return for the playoffs, has raised eyebrows across the league.
This has sparked jokes and memes, with some fans jokingly suggesting that Stone's recovery is too good to be true.
A recent incident involving Stone's wife, Hayley Stone, added fuel to the fire when she posed for a photo with a fan wearing a jersey bearing the number 61 and the letters "LTIR" instead of Stone's name. While some found the humor in the situation, others criticized Mrs. Stone for seemingly making light of the team's payroll management tactics.
While some may question the Stones' actions, it's important to remember that they are not responsible for the team's decisions.
