One of the worse days in hockey history.
Hired by the owners for the owners, but the thing he brought was parity!!
thats too long for anyone to be in this job. this league is laughable.
Bettman has the personality of a snake, but it's undeniable that the league and the players are richer because of him.
Franchise value and player salaries haven't gone up anywhere near as fast as most other sports (the Leafs notwithstanding).
Totally true. What would he say about being passed by MLS?
A day that will live in infamy.
