Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Gary Bettman is stepping down as commissioner, and announcing that he and Sidney Crosby are getting married and moving upstate to run a small bed-and-breakfast in the Adirondacks. The league will henceforth be run by the Puck-O-Tron 3000. Think R2D2, but way smarter about hockey. Which would be a step above Bettman anyway. 10 55fan, Jedi, Trastion and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have seen it mentioned that Pittsburgh will be getting the next draft, so this is probably the official announcement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeftWinger 5,130 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Yipee....that sure will be a MAJOR announcement.... I thought at least they decided on the realignment for next season, now that would be a MAJOR announcement.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 I have seen it mentioned that Pittsburgh will be getting the next draft, so this is probably the official announcement. Well of course they are. They should just host the Stanley Cup Finals every year too. And the All-Star Game. And the Winter Classic. And anything else that has anything remotely to do with the NHL. 2 edicius and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Any chance this "big news" headlines espn over the next few days? It's probably realignment with Winnipeg moving West. At least I hope it is. Nothing else really qualifies as major news. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it's the draft, I wouldn't expect any news on realignment until later in December at the earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just so people don't go nuts over that vid, know that every hockey player cusses like that and it's not really all that "classless". But coming from any other player though and it may not sound all that funny due to not as much voice cracking, haha. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shoreline Report post Posted October 27, 2011 (edited) Hmm it's definitely not the announcement of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft in Pittsburgh. It's the announcement that Crosby had a full contact annual elective colonoscopy (Dr. Bettman is his proctologist/gastroenterologist), and all was a-ok.

Gordie Howe hat trick 110 Report post Posted October 27, 2011 Is Pit that great a town that everyone wants to keep going back? I myself have never been so I don't get it. Maybe I should visit and then get back to you on if it is the greatest thing ever...or just an old rundown steel town. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Which you can blame on the end of the steel industry in this country. When the mills shut down, people left. Gary, Indiana used to be another bustling metropolis, but it befell the same fate.
