Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 Don't get me wrong, I support the cause as much as anybody, but there's no way that the Count is going to be fired anytime soon. The owners (most of them, that is) still love him for playing hardball with the 'PA, and getting them the salary cap that they've always wanted. Plus, the CBA that's in place now was a HUGE victory for the NHL, and a HUGE loss for the NHLPA. The owners said all along they wanted a cap, linked to revenues. The players said they would never agree to a cap, especially if it's linked to revenues. And what did we get? A cap linked to revenues. Bettman won that battle, though it cost him a season to do it. If he were going to be fired at any point in his tenure, it would have been around mid February '05, right after the announcement of the cancellation of the season, and the failed "last-minute-we-might-un-cancel-the-season" meetings.

TheLegend19 1 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 That is a very poorly done website, looks like a 15 year old came up with it. Agreed. It's a worthy cause, but if it wants any chance of getting noticed, it needs to be professionally done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 It doesn't matter how professionally done it is, it's not going to be taken seriously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
auxlepli 17 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 Comparing Bettman to Count von Count is a slap in the face to the Count. Just sayin. I have more respect for the Muppet than current commissioner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 I wander if the people who created http://www.fireronzook.com/ had a major contribution in the firing of football coach Ron Zook (now with Illinois) from the Florida Gators. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drake_Marcus 890 Report post Posted February 17, 2007 It doesn't matter how professionally done it is, it's not going to be taken seriously. Yep. 'cause the fan's don't pay his cheque. As long as the owners love him he's golden. And he's definitely the human version of the count 'xcept he's not lovable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetter is Better 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 Bettman won`t be fired, EVER!. He has done a lot to promote hockey. Yes he has done some bad things but not enough to be "fired" for.
