Thank You Gary Bettman

This season would have never happened without you...
The reality of losing that heartbreaker, pales in comparison to the prospect of the Houston Oilers in 1997. Hockey fans in Winnipeg and Quebec City have respectable issues with the man, but the fact remains... Gary Bettman saved not just Oiler hockey, but the NHL.
Good capitalists have respectable issues with the salary cap, yet everyone knows a socialist system of player salary equalization makes the sport more enjoyable... And thus more profitable!
Thanks to Mr. Bettman, the "prospect" of the Oilers leaving Edmonton, is about as likely as the return of NHL ties...


p.s Brian, you were Right. Not just about the Oilers, but about this:
"Take it from a Toronto boy, it can be a long time before your back."
It's called NHL parity. Thanks again Gary.
