Bettman is the anti-christ of hockey. He's a mean, short little US worm who should be the accountant and not the commissioner of the National Hockey League. He watered down Canadian hockey by bringing it at high prices to southern US markets that couldn't care less about it, and making ticket prices unaffordable to the average Northern American family. In the 90's pre-Bettman, you could see a Canadiens games for $20, tax included. That same seat today will cost ya $265. Or would, except Bettman has decreed a lockout of the players and their union, and negotiations have stopped for at least 6 weeks. Again, for the 3rd time since Bettman's been commish, and the players are leaving to play in Europe. I love watching good graceful hockey, the players' bods are dreamy, and in real life Canadian players are smart, funny, polite, good men and for once, good role models for kids, unlike basket- or football players. F-Bettman, and not in a good way.
