Nightfall 871 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 A classy player hired by the NHL. I thought he would have went to work for the players association though. Still, the NHL brass would be wise to listen to his ideas and recommendations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Opie 308 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Now I wish the Wings were in Boston this year. I could break out my "Fire Bettman, Hire Chelios" sign again and just change it to Shanny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Fan_In_Exile 3 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Bettman on the NHL Hour at 3pm Tune in to "NHL Hour" on NHL Radio today at 3pm (heard on NHL.com and XM) for a special announcement from Commissioner Bettman I realize facebook is a lame source, but it's the offical NHL page... I'm hoping for a Nixon style resignation! Any guesses? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ami 273 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 PA is trade union. Trade Unions are generally bad for business, PA is particularly bad for hockey. Shanny to PA would be huge waste. Shanny to NHL is the best possible move. I hoped it would happend one day, not that soon though. Way to go Shanny!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hooon 1,089 Report post Posted December 3, 2009 Good luck Shanny! I hope they really listen to you and your ideas, and they didnt just hire you to 'have a face' up there. Good job by the NHL, now make us proud Shanny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CaliWingsNut Report post Posted December 4, 2009 Bettman always there for a great quote. "...Brendan was the consummate team player, putting the success of his team and the good of the game above individual accomplishments. I am certain he will be able to bring that same approach to his new role." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
