The beginning of February tomorrow marks the 32nd record-breaking year of Gary Bettman as NHL Commissioner.

No other pro sports leader could make that statement; nor ever will. But Bettman's marvelous achievement did not happen by accident.

When Bettman took over on February 1, 1993, he inherited a holy mess which was neither easily nor quickly fixed. But they were and the result is an NHL that never has been healthier.
 
As a fan, I liked the NHL the way it was.

I think Bettman has run his course and he’s done more than enough already. Time to move on. Preferably on to someone with an actual background in hockey.
