Gary ‘Mr. Suck’ Bettman has done another AWFUL job at marketing the NHL in the US. This might be the biggest slight in the long NHL history…. NBC is bumping the Men’s Hockey game of Canada VS USA for …. Ice Dancing… yes… you read it correctly… Ice Dancing! Mr. Suck you have failed!
Did you know that NBC is the rights holder for the NHL in the US? Did you know the NHL constantly changes it schedule (both regular season and playoffs) to accomodate NBC? Did you know that NBC doesn’t care about the NHL?
Mr. Suck’s relationship with NBC is the same as an abusive relationship…the worse NBC treats the NHL… the more Mr. Suck tries to make NBC happy. This Olympic snub shows Gary ‘Mr. Suck’ Bettman has no clout in the US…he can’t call in any favours…he can’t do anything for the NHL.
Mr Suck…your petty attitude and distain for all thing Canadian can be seen by even your US ‘friends’. If you can’t get a a partner to air a Canada V USA Olympic on their main network…well what good are you?
Please do the right thing and resign!!!

Gary Betman has been running the nhl down for a while now, the greatest game on the planet and he wants to change it, hes got the refs and the players so screwed up with all the rule changes that theirs no two games calleed alike, and thats frustrating as a fan. he takes fighting out and not gonna suspend the cheap shots (cooke) then a teamate stands up for sevard and hes thrown out you have players takin dives its embaressing, you got ovey wearing hats and glasses at the allstar games, this is not basketball!! Why dont you take a pole before each game and change the rules acordingly. Everytime I step into the hall of fame I get goosebumps, build on the history of the game and quit changing it!!!!
This has nothing to do with Bettman, does the clown who runs this site have a clue. Do you ever say anything positive about the game, find another hobby.
