commentary...

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman was,"disappointed",in the NHLPA's counter economic proposal to the new collective bargaining agreement(CBA) talks,and says that there is a "wide gap",in both proposals... he has said that the NHL owners will not play under the expiring,but,right now,current CBA,for another season... anyone,for a possible LOCKOUT,this season??? old CBA expiring September 15th,2012... my feelings for Bettman,as NHL Commissioner,go way deep,and let me say,that they are very low grade,as a Commissioner,of a professional sports league... he presided over the shady movement of a franchise,from Winnipeg,to Phoenix(and that franchise is still owed,by the NHL,as of right now),and the 2004-2005 NHL lockout,which,to this day,irritates me no end(and still is the only time,that a professional sports league shut down,because of labor trouble,for an entire season)...
