Four work stoppages under his tenure - That's some pretty fine leadership.
that part does not matter because in the long run the teams (select ones probably) made more money than the players

I mean, he's put a ton of money in the owner's pockets and that's his main job duty. It does make me wonder how much more money the owners could have made without some of the piss poor decisions Gary has made through the years, though.

I'm not really blaming Gary for this. The NHL, at least on the surface, does way more pride-related shit than any other league. Baseball had a few instances with this last year and it blew over pretty fast, the same isn't happening here and he isn't really left with many options (if any? can he fine the players? Would doing so be constitutional under US law?).

yeah fair point, but it is his leadership and its been a strong voice of if you can play you can play.. now players while not openly saying that they can't but they are saying they are not tolerant of them

Crazy how it's 2023 and the NHL still doesn't have goal line technology like a real professional sports league. Just another feather in Bettman's cap.

So there's a little over 6 minutes left in the game - I don't want to see the Lucic line on the ice for the rest of the night.

How is that not an automatic review on an empty net goal in the final minute?

Flames beat the Kings, the refs, and the war room in Toronto tonight.

Really worried about tonight's game, it seems like every time the Flames have a chance to step up and make a statement, they fail miserably. You know the Canucks would like nothing more than to spoil the Flames playoff chances and they have been playing some great hockey as of late.

Pretty sure the Ducks just scored on their first shot of the game.

Hey @forty_three your second favorite Blue Jacket D-man of all time scored his career high 3rd goal tonight for the Ducks.
