From Toronto Star:

Now Bettman has to do what he should have done from the start: make it part of the agenda during negotiations on the next CBA. He's so anti-union it is sickening.

Either Orr has seen the light or he is just being a good company man. From Toronto Star: Maybe he's stolen the script from another player, who claims to have changed his ways this season.

That was superb; thank you for posting it. The music bed was kiiler. Believe it or not, they were still using wire-mesh screening, behind the nets and along the sides, at that time.

From The Score: There was no salute.

I can't believe Atlanta got a second franchise.

Confusion all around. Is he laying blame at the feet of Shanahan, the NHLPA, the dog who ate his scouting reports, the fans who didn't vote Kessel on the Al-Star Team, etc. etc.?

Not surprised at all. It was a half-#ssed attempt by the League, appearing to be doing something for both the fans and the players when, in the end, it was just another attempt for a new paragraph in the "Bettman Legacy" section in Wikipedia. i've got this mental image of Bill Daly, jumping up and down, as he spews out all of his best lawyer-speak in that statement. I laugh. Good for the NHLPA!

From TSN: So, his motivation was what exactly?

Fourteen consecutive years. Congratulations to Team Canada!

From TSN:

In the late 1990's, Ebbets Field Flannels carried an entire "Vintage NHL" line which, sadly, they discontinued some years ago. Part of this collection was "Distressed Leather Warm-up Jackets". The Detroit jacket represented the 1949-50 season: red leather body and sleeves with white knit wool trim, bottom front, crossed US/Canadian flag patch on the sleeve and a "hand-sewn chenille' team emblem on the front. As for the team emblem, I've seen one on display in the HHoF from "Red" Kelly's jacket and this jacket's crest looked exactly the same. The bad news: it sold for $595 US. I've tried to find a photo of it online to post, but can't find one. I wish I'd bought one of them then.

From TSN:

TSN. The League is busy redoing Darren Gibb's assignment schedule.

The League has the best officiating of any sport. Just ask Bettman; he'll tell you.
