Save to del.icio.us
Fortune Magazine did an interview with Ding-dong last month and began the reporting with Bettman tripe about how he has quadrupled revenues, set records in attendance…you know, the same old bull from his lackies. Part of our problem with The Dufus may stem from the fact that he is still learning how to use all his electronic gadgetry. “I track scores all the time” was one quote attributed to the former NBA stooge. Well, isn’t that just peachy. Tracking scores. Next thing you know he’ll be looking at the standings! He also said he carries a rulebook with him at all times. Isn’t that reassuring! Further along in the interview little man was asked what his favorite trip would be and he responded “Australia”. Now I like Aussie land and have nothing against anyone from that great continent, but do you think we could convince them to ask Sir Screwsupalot to start a hockey league down there? They have desert and fans that don’t know a hockey stick from a burro. He’d be great (again, in his own mind). I’m afraid if he sticks around the states much longer there’s going to be “shrimp on the barbie”.

NHL FUN FACT
The Carolina Hurricanes (formerly known as the Hartford Whalers) received their new name shortly after Hurricane Fran hit their newly adopted home of Raleigh, NC in 1996.

Butthead is the worst commissioner of all time in all sports. Tracking scores all the time eh? Carrying a rulebook eh? Has that rulebook changed to allow screwing over teams in the playoffs? Among recent examples, In game 3 between San Jose vs Dallas, Turco CLEARLY DOESN’T freeze the puck and San Jose puts the puck in the net and the referees blow the damned whistle, Detroit vs Colorado same night, someone on Detroit hooks down I believe it was Andrew Brunette. What did the referees call… not a friggin thing. Montreal getting penalty after penalty against Philadelphia. Speaking of Philadelphia, the Flyers beat the Capitals on a powerplay because of a clear dive in OT, and the guy falling down was barely touched and the dumbshit referees call a penalty. The referees you’d think would be fined but dumbass Bettman doesn’t even discipline the referees for shit. And last but not least, my Ottawa Senators throughout the 2nd half of the season and the first round of the playoffs, get penalty after penalty called on them, and their opponents got away with so much shit which mad this Sens fan very ANGRY. By the way, the 2008 NHL Entry Draft is going to be at Scotiabank Place in my hometown of Ottawa. Anyone want to take any bets on how much shit will be thrown in the direction of Ding Dong on draft night?
Ship Bettman a little further south than Australia… ANTARCTICA!
sabresownurlives,
Hey buddy, I agree with everything you said ‘cept dickweed wouldn’t know what to do with all that ice. Now, put ‘im ’round the equator somewheres and I’m sure he’d feel right at home; ’specially with a basketball court close by. See, wiener-breath don’t understand hockey; matter of fact, he don’t understand much at all. When ya ain’t got nothin’ packed between the ears, it’s kinda hard to do anything right. Shoot, I almost feel sorry for the dumb shit. NAH!!! Owners oughta drop him like third period French.
yer bud,
Biscuit
Ahhh no thanks! We dont want him here in Australia either.
And as for your comments on Aussie hockey knowledge….if you are going to attack Bettman for knowing fuck all about how to run the NHL, then make sure you know that Australia has been World Champion and Olympic Champion for several years in field hockey. So i think we may know what a hockey stick looks like.
We also have a Ice Hockey league which is still in its infancy. As crap as our league is in Australia, I still wouldnt want him to run it!!!
When you write a blog where you don’t even have the decency to address someone by their proper name, how can you expect to be taken seriously?
This may come as a surprise to some but Gary works for the owners not the fans. They will decide how good of a job he is doing. Judging from revenues and franchise values, I would say he is doing great.
