Most of that is just nonsense. We (read: I) hate him because he’s an American with a total disregard for Canadian fans and the market as a whole. The fact that he fights tooth and nail to keep teams...

I’ll start with saying I don’t like Bettman. He’s a lightning rod for a lot of this and it might be time for him to get out based on that. The players don’t trust him or want to work with him and...
