NHL 2007 ASG MacLean and Bettman part 1

[Love4SK]

which ridiculous american market/city will the nhl expand to next????, san diego? the florida keys?? , hey how about san antonio. what a joke of a league

[jasonscfr]

I remember as watching hockey as a kid. I watch hockey now, and it makes me want to cry. The only way I will become an avid fan like I was as a kid is if the NHL and Gary Bettman comes to it's senses. I mean it really makes me want to cry. The Americans took something priceless and made it into a cheese burger from Mcdonalds. The NHL reminds me of a cheeseburger meal from Mcdonalds now days. I have hardly any interest any more because of this ridiculous wet dream that Gary Bettman has.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

No one knows this yet (including the press) but the Yotes' equipment has entered the MTS center! I'm not kidding.  Be ready Winnipeg ... the announcement is coming soon. Get your season tix for September!

Remember that you heard it here first! :)

[KenneWilleJ1102]

NO KC ISLANDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[tranceplante]

Halifax??? LOL How about Quebec City?

[owen999ca]

This Little twat cunt is anti Canada, It's time for him to go!

[hayne91]

hes right about stl, chicago and boston though....they are back!

[xsploit]

did you see the allstar game interview brutal

[fiXxed98]

I recorded the 2009 NHL All-Star Game interview between Ron and Gary, and was pretty disappointed. Nothing useful there...

[ethicomm]

Good thing there are gun laws. Otherwise people would be lining up shoot the dirty little bastard.

[detroitsports77]

yes, common sense does not seem to be one of gary bettmans qualities. the asshole even stated in an interview that juggling numbers takes precedent over common sense. i live for the day when this fucking idiot is gone from the nhl.

[rusticnacho420]

haha at a quick glance i could see the north winning every cup in that format

[Chains07]

they gave atlanta another chance for fuck sakes and the fans there dont care

[legere14]

id love to see halifax have a team.

[ethicomm]

He's such an arrogant, condescending little fuck of a lawyer. Probably never laced up a pair of skates in his life.

[FischerFan]

"He's such an arrogant, condescending little fuck of a lawyer. Probably never laced up a pair of skates in his life."

For the record, when he was appointed commissioner, and was first handed a hockey puck, he tried to open it.

[ethicomm]

Tried to open the puck up? Hilarious!

[DoubleDoubleEveryday]

hahaha, that was a good one. Ever since this little slimeball became commissioner, the league has gone to shit. The next commissioner should be a hockey player. Fire Bettman NOW!

[krnboy1009]

Bettman doesnt decide whether franchise moves or not. Bettman wanted to keep team in Winnipeg.

[detroitsports77]

BULL SHIT.

[Anon6704]

atleast we still have queb-- oh wait, we don't... has bettman EVER done something good for anythign in the NHL??

[detroitsports77]

i wanna send a big fuck you to david stern for sending this incompetant asshole to our sport.

[detroitsports77]

this man killed hockey. great job bettman, you took hockey from loving fans and gave it to rednecks who could give a fuck less. way to go.

[dwoodward1]

THere is something wrong with Bettman, and it's not just his Little Man Syndrome.

[Billyskwirts]

at least he didn't sell Edmonton to someone else

[fetchy15]

ya like wtf i cant wait until someone replaces him maybe theyll have some sense and put some teams in Winnipeg and Quebec and Hamilton and maybe Halifax

[Billyskwirts]

the southern american teams are not lasting, don't put any more in there

[JordanStrople]

Bettman is living in a dream world. Bring the NHL back up north!!!

[oehieze]

I actually don't really care about him one way or the other. It's just unfair to heap ALL the problems when the man, got you on a major network 2ce instead you spent more time complaining about Gary Thorne not sounding like that retard in buffalo or4 the fox trax puck

[oehieze]

Well now he had to scramble to get it on a growing network versus. You still complain and don't watch. You idiots spend more time picking apart great players like lindros, gretzky and Crosby cause you're fat lazy jealous fools instead of doing like my friends do with the NFL .. invite you over for beers and barbeque to watch the game. The game grows at the grassroots level (lookit Dallas) yet what do REAL HOCKEY FANS do? spend tie making fun of bettman for his Jewish heritage. Just genius

[oehieze]

Dustin penner basically signaled the end of the ducks cause if he's worth 4mill, what're Perry and getzlaf worth? What's beauchemin going to demand? Your Gm's and annoying fans are the source of the leagues demise NOT bettman.

[Hiei2k7]

Nah, I think the fact that Joe Louis Arena holds more people than what showed up for the Ducks Parade after the SCF Win, is what signals the end of the ducks.

[oehieze]

idiots still haven't come up anything anything beyond Jewish jokes. someone on here said he stopped the league? Uh honey, the owners did. Last lockout Gary sided with the players and what did it get him/ players turned Gm's escalated the salaries till the league could no longer take it.

[oehieze]

What's happened recently Kevin Lowe and his crazy offers. How come you slow morons don't blame people like him or Millbury for giving lazy ass players like yashin and jagr insane contracts which then cause other players to ask for more than they deserve.

[Hiei2k7]

if Lowe doesn't make those offers to try to make a replacement for losing Ryan Smyth, the city of Edmonton would hunt him down and hang him from the Wayne Gretzky Statue in front of Rexall Place.

[oehieze]

yet tel me idiot hockey fans aren't gonna blame gary again when the salaries get out of control. will they call good non jewish rednecks like lowe? of course not. The average hockey fan is as illiterate as mike vick

[Hiei2k7]

well, i for one, blame the players. now granted, they want more money, but it's getting ridiculous. like NFL and MLB and NBA salaries. You mentioned Michael Vick, maybe some of the "gangstas" in the NFL will back it the hell off.....

[oehieze]

the NHl is in serious shit. Every year they keep drafting giant lummoxes that only know how to hit and aren't creative then when the do get players like st Louis the banish the to the 4th line cause the aren't sized like a linebacker. Also they're payoi people like jags who I don't think loves the game anymore tons of money while the st Louis and perrins of the world are in the wings.

[oehieze]

Then people blame bettman. when's the last time a player captured the imagination of the world like Wayne or Mario or Orr? and when they do instead of EVERYONE getting together to tell the world about our gems we spend time fighting over how much Crosby dives or how bad bettman is... morons. The game will die cause we're filled with morons

[XxMazdaRX7xX]

"Ya'No, if I said we were going to expand, you and everybody would start yelling at me again."

I wasn't aware Gary was a 6 year old school kid.

[touchdownandone]

if the owners want to hire someone as useless as gary bettman, and everyone starts hating him, why not just hire someone who acts like vince mcmahon. at least that will bring in the ratings. it would be so funny to see him get beat up on the ice once in a while.

[ajpoyay]

i want to punch him in the kidney and rip out his eye sockets, i hate the count

[hockeydude544]

why would minnesota in the south conference for??

[oehieze]

Ron maclean has as much qualification to be commish as OJ simpson does. Hes been a referee and a TV guy..... that's it. Beyond the fact that he's canadian what other qualification does he have? Do you even know what a commish has to do? Do you think he just waves his magic wand in the air and makes canadian teams better? Stupid. Why not Don cherry then.. or hell Tie Domi (oh wait, he's probably not white enoough for you huh?)

[DigitalVirus]

Betman needs to be fired right now

[bostonbruins4]

Bettman and his big hook nose and big ears only cares about the bottom line, MONEY. DIE BETTMAN!! DIE

[Bmurs07]

Winnipeg Jets make a resurgence along with the Halifax express of moose or something canadian

[fiXxed98]

PattyBoy31, your video response has been approved, and I've posted your petition link on the JetsOwner-dot-com forums... Should get some response from that! :)

[PattyBoy31]

i got to thinking about Ron MacLean for commisioner so I made a little video for it, check it out. (I just requested it to be a video responseto this, or search "Ron MacLean for NHL Commisioner" I also started a petition :p . Who knows, it may go somewhere!

[Vash131]

Two more Teams

Winnipeg Jets-I like,Bring that team BACK

Halifax-come up with a name

[silverandblack68]

They should have had Cherry grill this lying little bastard. He would eventually piss him off so bad that Grapes would punch the fuck over the side of the both. BYE BYE Gary!!!

[oilpride]

Someone create a coup and override Bettman's power and get him the hell outta office. It worked for Hitler and Lenin. His replacement... RON MACLEAN!!!!

[PattyBoy31]

yeah i agree, Ron Mclean would be a good commisioner

[fiXxed98]

I agree! Add Hartford to the mix... My #1 hope is for Winnipeg, though!

[fiXxed98]

As for the Nordiques, to borrow a quote from David Asper: "Hey, why not both?" :)

[JhmC]

Sounds goot to me. While we're at it let's add Hartford to the mix.

Go Jets Go

[orionpirates]

NO JETS!! Bring back the Nordiques.

[FischerFan]

Bring back both!

[thrillermiller87]

The governors can Vote him off the island

[Alexmuc26]

Thanks for posting this, bettman needs to be fired.

[paintedblank]

who can fire him though? that idiot is in charge of everything

[mohakad]

please bring the jets back..

[chadrex]

BRING BACK OUR JETS!!!
