As for Bettman, yes like all commissioners he gets booed in every arena BUT nothing like the sustained loud booing he got last night.

Get your facts straight you ignorant hosers - Bettman did NOT remove teams from Canada, blame the Canadian owners of the Winnipeg Jets and the Quebec Nordiques for that, they sold their teams. At the time the Canadian dollar was .60 cents USD and players salaries in the NHL are paid in US dollars as well as a lot of their operating costs such as travel and lodging. Winnipeg and Quebec both had small arenas and simply could no longer afford to have NHL franchises. Now that the USD/CDN dollars are at par - Winnipeg is back and Quebec will be back when they get a new arena, if the CDN remains strong versus the USD.
