l do not know what is worse listening to Bettman or watching these supposed hockey tough guys cower from this little idiot.l e-mailed Doug MacLean that he turtled this week during a Bettman interview as Bettman shouted him down.He did not like it but MacLean turtled.Got this little Ahole Bettman has to go.l guess hockey players leave their courage in their jockstrap when they take off their gear.

l would like to say no, but after finding out Datsyuk and Lidstrom are suspended for a game for not attending the all-star game, l have to say yes.

Nar--they are injured, but they got suspended because they will not play in the all-star game. yeah thats a good reason to get suspended. if your gonna get suspended, at least have a good reason, at least cross check someone in the face, not not play in a meaningless exhibition game.

moose how bout them wings- they are injured you idipt.

never heard of Bettman.

Yes he is the biggest idiot in sports. There is a reason every stadium boo is him when he comes on the ice.

Hes tied for #1 with Al Davis

Seriously, whos the troll that gives us all the thumbs down?!

YES!! l HATE HIM!! THE NHL IS RUINED BECAUE OF HIM!!!!

l think Jerry Jones would be a bigger idiot. He brings in all of these egos, regardless of talent, and wonders why they do not win. On top of that, he gets a guy that got in trouble for gun stuff, puts bodyguards on him, and the guy still gets in trouble.

He took our National sports & imported them into the USA as they were bigger clients. However, empty chairs wo not be balanced even though they r bigger clients. Tampa Bay, New Jersey, Long Island, Colombus, Phoenix r just examples of place where teams do not seem to be appreciated.

So, yes he is dumb for paying for Tampa & Phoenix while Quebec & Winipeg has left south. The difference is there, there were fans.

He is trying to get his world wide league. He only managed to ruin it so far.

Hockey players should point him teh doors; if no players play, no NHL games. l think Ovechkin & Crosby worth more than Bettman is as*.

Bettman is the biggest idiot running a major professional sports league, but there are bigger idiots in the NHL and in sports than Gary Bettman.
