Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I'd be shaking too if I drove the nhl so far into the ground that he has, then had to present the Cup to the Wings in front of the fans of the losers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mooose kiiisses 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 i booed him when he walked out on to the ice. I was watching at Hollywood Cinemas, Birch Run and someone yelled at me for booing the man giving the cup to Lids, then the person asked who he was... i was amused.

Scarlet_Horses 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 No wonder, hes just trying to suck it up to Malkin and Crosby; who will undoubtedly have a say in the NHL for years to come. I didn't expect anything out of him but being the same ole stiff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey9019 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Not sure how valid this is but I just read somewhere that he was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's Disease. No matter what type of person he is, he is human, and if this is true, I wish him well. That is an awful disease to have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lomekian 201 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 Bettman would have preferred a game 7 and thining from a US market point of view would have preferred crosby up there. He should remember however, that the wings will probably do more for expanding the global fan base. However apart from the slightly disappointed expression I don't think this influenced anything. He's a pretty strange guy (regardness of any illness), and is of the sort that are very succesful in major administrative roles the world over. However his charisma bypass is unfortunate for someone in such a prominent role. It can't help him though to know that most of the people that watch and listen to him think he is wrong. He reminds me of so many british minor civil servants - like an accountancy gnome that's somehow ended up being mistaken fo the king, and despite his enjoyment is waiting for someone to tell him its all been a big msitake and can he leave please.....
