What a piece of ****. Just watched a great game here in the olympics, US vs. Canada, and fat mouth, no neck, pig Bettman is whining on national TV because the NHL sees no revenue and has to stop the season. Oh please ! How many more people watch hockey during the olympics than on an outdoor channel between a show about RVs and moose hunting ? What kid is glued to an NBC game that quickly cuts away from fights and whose commentators apologize to viewers for rough play? You are "sissifying" the game because you are a homosexual. Who watched the NHL All Star game. ? Yawn. 245 people that’s who. A little lost revenue is made up by the fact that millions are watching NHL stars and draws international intrest. He is pissed because he can’t hawk a $150.00 jersey. Bettman you ******** ! Grew up on PEI but we live near Hartford, and the Wolfpack in Hartford draw pretty damn well. You hopped in bed with Karamonos and Rutherford and stole my NHL team. "Not enough TV revenue." Look at you now you pig faced, disgusting, money grubbing, dirty ***** ! Your comb over is horrible. You are worthless. Go find another team to steal.

From SI, 3/1/01:
Last Sunday was Hockey Day in Heaven. The Olympic tripleheader began with Russia playing the Czech Republic, continued with Canada facing the United States and ended with Finland versus Sweden. These were, in order, replays of the past three Olympic finals. In the 135 years since hockey moved inside, never had so much talent assembled in one arena in one day. Of the 132 participants, 113 play in the NHL.
Consider this Exhibit A in the case for NHL participation at Sochi in 2014. True, Olympic hockey cannot be replicated in the NHL regular season. But these games were an embossed invitation to embrace the sport. Certainly there are obstacles to continued participation, including NHL owners who think shutting down post–Super Bowl for two weeks is the height of fiscal idiocy. But if the league turtles because the ephemeral benefit of goodwill does not show up at line 38 of the Blackhawks’ balance sheet, Gary Bettman, who championed NHL players’ becoming part of the Games in 1998, will be remembered as the commissioner of the National House League.
I wonder what Michael Farber meant by "National House League". Anyone give me a clue?

Can anyone tell me what "National House League" is? This is from the 3/1/10 issue of Sports Illustrated, btw.
