I kept it short. I could have gone on.
I think all hockey fans have a reason to hate Bettman, but I think Canadians have more reasons than Americans. Bettman regularly snubs the Canadian market, which is his bread and butter, while pandering to a US market that simply ignores him and his product.
I am aware the the NHL is run by a small clique of powerful owners. But how he stays in his position of power is beyond me. His 'game plan' has failed miserably. I think he has a couple of hot spots ready to erupt, Phoenix is just the tip of the ice-berg.
