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!

Hey ASSHOLE, why don’t you update your stories!!! The biggest story right now is the do-nothing approach to Stephane Auger for his grudge calls against Burrows.
Fuck BETTMAN & his Lover Colie!!
This questions the integrity of the game having a ref make bogus calls like that & get away with it.
Love the site. But don’t you think it’s time for a story about how the NHL has a slew of games on the night of the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremonies in Vancouver? And how about the fact that Vancouver had to play a game in Columbus tonight, ending shortly before the ceremonies guaranteeing that the Canucks can’t get back in time to watch any of the festivities in the city they call home? I know Mr. Suck could’ve pulled a couple of strings in the name of the great tradition of Canadian hockey. Oh wait. Gary Bettman hates Canadian hockey. Gary Bettman sucks
I can’t believe the winter classic is in Pittsburgh with Pittsburgh vs. Washington. How much of a sell out is that? Forget anything about the original 6 teams and the reason we are going back to the roots of the game by playing in the outdoors, lets just make as much money as possible. We know the US network won’t watch CDN teams so lets make sure we only show US teams.
Is there any chance of a double header with a game in Canada?
