" I totally agree that Bettman is (already has) destroying the game we love. I also think this is a great idea ...however the sad reality is that nobody with the power to make the decision will care about fire Bettman night. Look at the fire Millen situation here in Detroit for God sakes. The sad truth is that people will still be IN THE STANDS, as paying customers, weather they have t-shirts and signs that say fire Bettman or not. Nothing will change until the league, NHLPA, owners, somebody does something, or until people get so fed up they actually stop supporting the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bluedevils_13 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 I am all for firing Bettman and everything, but I am kind of afraid this is just becoming a trend, and there really isn't all that much substance behind this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest jaytan Report post Posted October 16, 2007 Maybe the Wings could have a Fire Bettman night as well. That one would probably sell out. During the intermissions they could lower an effigy of Mr. Buttman, filled with candy and prizes like a pinata, and let kids beat the hell out of it with sticks.

lidstromfan5 3 Report post Posted October 16, 2007 There is a possible way to do a Fire Bettman day. One of the days they are on NBC, they have like every team play on that day and just have everyone come out in full force. Nobody watches VS but people watch NBC. It would be perfect.

eva unit zero 271 Report post Posted October 17, 2007 Bettman works for the BoG. Bettman does what the BoG wants him to do. If he didn't, they'd fire him. Since they haven't, he does. Meaning, Bettman won't be fired for 'his actions' because he is doing to BoG's will. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BlakChamber 8 Report post Posted October 31, 2007 Showing up to the game to chant "fire bettman" doesn't work. If you're in the seats, the team gets their money and they've already won, so to speak. Same reason the Lions have no real incentive to win. They still make tons of money. If you really want some change, stop spending money on the NHL and convince everyone you know to do the same. If people ***** and ***** about what's happening in hockey, but still go to the games and buy merchandise, the NHL has no reason to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
