commentary...

this is to reply to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman:you have presided over not one lockout,not two,but three lockouts,and a players' strike,and three franchises to move[the original Winnipeg Jets,to Phoenix,after telling the fans that you would not allow the franchise to move],and to Denver from Quebec City,Quebec,along with a franchise from Hartford Connecticut,to the Carolinas... my respect for you is lower than pond scum,and you say,and apologize to the true fans,that you cared for what they suffered through:three lockouts,and a players' strike,in about twenty years,and two lockouts in eight years-one that wiped out an entire season(the only time that a pro sports league wiped out an entire season),and you apologize to the true fans,in a form letter,in newspapers across North America-how tacky,crude,and gutless of the NHL... i bought the hockey package,from NBC Comcast(at a discount,thank you for nothing),this season,but nothing else will i buy,because i feel royally screwed by the NHL,NHLPA,and even the players,because i simply feel that millionaires fighting other millionaires over a $3.3 B revenue pie that is the NHL was not necessary,and simply disgusting,and it lasted 113 days,and Gary,that really sucks,period... personally,go away until next season,and maybe my anger will subside,and by the way,to the NHL,NHLPA,and to the players,i simply give you all an one finger salute... that gesture was for the true fans,in sympathy...
