Why is Gary Bettman watering down Canada's game?

Stupid Corporate Nazi ripping out the soul of the game. Hockey doesnt need any American regulations towds getting rid of hitting and fighting, Id watch Basketball if fight was allowed but at least we have boxing to see basketball players who want to fight.

    someone said maybe Bettman wants revenge or something on Canada seeing as how in Montreal they wouldn't let him be on there team or let them play because his stick was to short or something.

    we are able to purely wish. shall we seem on the failings Bettman has screwed up so a great way this year: a million) television settlement with as against- shall we placed the NHL on a channel that no-one gets! which will particular enhance recognition 2) The All megastar sport- first of all, he placed it on as against, and on a Wednesday night instead of its known weekend slot. This circulate confident me that Bettman is a NBA plant. 3) extra desirable nets- i don't think of i must be any further particular. If it happens, it is going to overcome each little thing else on the checklist by using a great way. 4) Unbalanced time table- i in my view do not think of it is only too undesirable, in spite of the undeniable fact that it may be great for each team to work out the different 29 communities a minimum of as quickly as a season. of direction even he had his stable area. He forced the gross revenues caps that have been desprately needed, whether we did lose a season by using fact of it. And the hot sport regulations seem working properly, extraordinarily the shootout

    The use of Nazi invalidates anything else you had to say.

    Sorry, I'd rather know that the players I watch are not going to be suffering post concussion syndrome in the long term, or have Parkinson, or other long term mentally debilitating injuries associated with hockey.

    Miles. Miles, Miles.....what can I say? They don't mind the fighting, they mind the costly medical bills, insurance rates and lawsuits which would surely come their way if players become so seriously injured that they are disabled for life. Believe me, they know that violence sells.

    Bettman isn't the only one making theses changes. And most hockey fans agree with his decisions.

    Hitting and fighting aren't being taken out of the game.

    They are trying to cut down concussions.. to the best of their ability.. Don Cherry and Brian Burke said it perfectly though.. if you want to go play non-hitting hockey move to Sweden.

    You make it seem you only like violence, not hockey. So go watch UFC.

    I'm pretty sure Shanahan is in charge of suspensions and stuff. And he is Canadian.
