Tonight an email arrived from HockeyToronto.com and I was pleased to see some talk about movement in the ‘Get Rid of Bettman’ movement. The Winter Classic was fantastic today and is an example of the NHL doing something really right! Unfortunately, in Gary “Mr. Suck” Bettman’s tenure these great ideas are few and far, very FAR, between!
Here is what was in the email:
The following note is being sent to the 30,000+ Members of the NHL Fans’ Association.
Recently, many suggestions have been received from Members related to the activities the NHLFA should pursue in its attempt to have Gary Bettman removed as the commissioner of the NHL this season. One such suggestion is to coordinate a league-wide protest week that will rally fans attending games to hold signs calling for the dismissal of Bettman.
If you would like to contribute an idea, please visit http://www.nhlfa.com/minipoll09_10Season
The Winter Classic isn’t a feather in Mr. Suck’s hat; instead it is a reminder of what the NHL could have been with a good leader.
Mr Suck, please resign!
