Bettman’s southern bias helps them too. I just bought champagne the other day that I’m gonna pop open when he is fired/retires/dies. Whatever comes first.A billion dollars for a franchise will do that...

As long as they don’t win the lottery. Would rather see San Jose, Columbus or Ottawa with the 1st pick.
I hate to say it, but my opinion of Bettman has changed somewhat.
Yes he's still a smarmy NY lawyer but he's done a lot to grow the game.
I do think it's time for a change of leadership, though, as the NHL has chronic issues that need to be solved, in marketing, officiating and player safety. It's time for a new leader with a mandate to fix them.
The southern expansion on the whole has been a great success, but the NHL has fallen behind MLS in status and that to me is unacceptable.
I do love how voraciously and eloquently he shut down the Jets moving hysteria earlier this year.

I trust you purchased a high quality champagne that will age well?
I suspect it could be quite a while yet before you get to uncork it. Bettman is 71, average life expectancy in the USA is 78 but I imagine a guy of his "stature" has access to the best stuff to extend that.

EYSSIMONT: 66 games, 10 goals, 10 Assists
a definate upgrade on Baron, Slow Gus, Perfetan, Kupari, AJF, TonyNato or anyone else on the 4th line not named Namesakov!

Oh yes, not to break character, but my disdain for Bettman is highly exaggerated.
Yes, but he’s gotta be getting close to retirement by now, right? ….right?!

He is playing on the 3rd line in Tampa. If he was playing here on the 3rd line putting up those numbers I am sure he would AHLYSSIMONT.

Whiteout Is Coming.
You have to remember Bettman is in charge of making the owners money ... if he doesn't they fire him.
Canadian teams have passionate fans and they love their hockey but the US for now is where the NHL makes the big dollars.
Its sad Quebec deserves a team but the owners get a bigger pay check if a new team goes to Atlanta or Houston or Utah.
disagree on barron and perfetan. he's in the same tier as barron as 4th liner. but definitely better than krapari and slow gus

I like Essymo and AJF They gave a different look with the speed and aggressive forecheck on the 4th line

Actually I liked Stenlund.Nobody pining for former Jet Kevin Stenlund and his 10 goals
i didn't mind him as a 4C either. better than what Gus or Kupari has shown.

Really, I like Gus... he's as good at face-offs as Stenlund and a lot faster
Ah ok I didnt realize you were falling for the slowgus myth
That looks to be about $0.75 per fry. Hope they were tasty.
Unreal, as a side note that person needs to cut or clean their nails.

Now I can't unsee it!Unreal, as a side note that person needs to cut or clean their nails.
That's bringing up memories of getting French fries in a paper boat at the local rink in 1981 when I was a kid, but they probably cost 50 cents.

I don't really get it. Like, if you doubled the fries on that plate, what would it cost you as a vendor, 20 cents?

Yeah, I would have guessed that the cardboard plate cost more than the fries
There's very little that makes me happier than huge portions. Like when you go to Five Guys and order a small fries and they basically fill the bag up for you
