Who hates Gary Bettman?
The NHL's Collective Bargaining Agreement expires tonight. The fate of our NHL season is in doubt. Personally, I think the NHLPA made some nice concessions and that Gary Bettman is a bum, has been bad for hockey, and doesn't care about the sport. My choice to the poll would be "C".

Buttman is a dbag. The league might not recover from this lockout. The owners signed the contracts, now pay the players.

That is exactly why I did not allow multi-vote.

Bettman is indeed a d-bag. He's not a hockey guy, never was and never will be. He's as a terrible spokesman for the game. It is so obvious he doesn't care about the game nor does he understand it. Every time he says anything like "our game" or "our sport" I cringe. He's a monkey in a suit and if they made a bobble head of him, well, it would be him as is.

The players last offer was quite reasonable. They agreed to some significant reductions in profits and the hard salary cap continues. Do they want to get paid? Sure but as far as concessions go, they're the only ones making any offers.

I have added Bettman to my list of people I want to punch in the face. He's somewhere in the mix with Justin Bieber and Joe Biden.

I agree...

Joe Biden? Why do you want to punch us old guys in the face? Glad/hope this old guy isn't on your List.!

Nothing against old guys. It has nothing to do with old. Joe Biden just has a face made for punching. His smug looks and the the fact that he's a total boob just adds to the attractiveness of socking him between the eyes. He's the new Dan Quayle. (I would've popped him in the nose too.)

At the moment, Bieber and Biden are safe. I'm winding up for Bettman.

I voted for C because "Give him a super-sling-shot wedgie" was not a choice. The picture above is just screaming for a wedgie.
