The gambler who didn't know when to quit:: "Gary Bettman, the smooth-talking commissioner of the NHL, is the most disliked man in hockey, and justifiably so." A punchy column from The Guardian assesses Bettman's role in the current state of the NHL, from a U.K. perspective.
The fact that none of us usually verbose SpoFites had chosen to comment here for 2 days (before I had to go and spoil it) speaks volumes about Gary Bettman's ineptitude and the shrinking relevance of ice hockey in the sports scene.
