gary is the biggest piece of sh!t to have ever been born. He changed the game WE all love before your eyes and youre too _____ to have even noticed. I would run him over with my 4x4 if I had a chance. The fact that this thread was even made is disgusting

On Thursday, Bettman, 62, was recognized by the Jewish Theological Seminary of America with the Louis Marshall Award — the first time the New York institution has bestowed the honor for “exemplary ethics and communal commitment” on a sports figure.

The value of an nhl franchise went from $100 million to $700 million while he's been commissioner. So fukkin what? I bought my house for $167K in 1994 and is now worth 1.3 million in 2018. Was gary involved? people are so dumb its nauseating.

But since Bettman has been at the helm, 7 houses has been added to the fold and a 8th one in Seattle soon.
Don't forget that the owners hired him and mandated him to sell the game in the US and squashing labor disputes. So no matter who was commissioner they would have taken the same path
With all the bitching about him there is one thing I almost ever seen mentioned that bugs me the most. There has been 3 lockouts since he has been in place. But that is the labor lawyer in him for sure. Also CTE was just ignored for so long even after the science was presented.
Also with the expansion, kind of a double edged sword for me. It's great that more players have jobs and the beauty of pucks are spread to places all over. But on the other hand, the quality of play of course takes a beating.
From a business standpoint league wise, he has done one hell of a job for the owners, no doubt about that. From a hard core fans standpoint....well not so much. But it's not our or our fathers NHL, If people don't like it they will turn away. But considering the growth and TV contracts and expansion in place it appears the masses are just fine with it.
TV contracts mean population and population is in the US. I can't ever see a reversal of this even after Bettman retires. The owners will just put another clone in place. He is 65, seems in decent shape so I imagine he retire after his contract is over in 2022.
