    Yeah, well, while WE may all dislike the job he’s doing, his bosses — the owners — obviously approve. So I think all our anger is misdirected.

    And as bad as he is, he’s light years better than John Ziegler. Agreed?

    You know, I thought today seemed a whole lot more depressing, dark, and gloomy than even a rainy Friday after a big win ought to. Now I know why.

    Did anyone watch as Bettman was introduced to the All-Star Game crowd this past weekend? During the expected chorus of boos, he laughed and shrugged his shoulders. Forget acknowledging that he is hated … he obviously enjoys it.
