The NHL would be very successful with about 16 teams all
from canada, and some from the northern u.s.a.
Bettman, who has lost so much credability throughout the
hockey world, thought he would become a genious by putting
many teams throughout u.s.a.
Many of those teams are losing franchises, and the other
teams have to hand over millions each year to help keep
them above water.
It was a poor idea, and now he is in and out of court,
trying to settle financial problems, he has caused.
I wish we had a canadian commissioner, who actually knows
the game from a canadian vantage point, who would have
had much more vision as to how to advance the game, we
love so much, and not so interested in advancing his own
ego.
But now that he has
dug such a deep hole, he better stay there and figure
out how to fix it.
