Holy fuck Bettman is such a subtle, skillful bullshit artist
Regarding the 'exposed' list and whether or not it should be made public:ft
Sportsnet: Sometimes can you look though to what the fans might want instead of what the clubs might want?
Bettman: Well, it's a combination. The fans want their team to be competitive. They want their team to win. And there's always a tension on a situation like this where you have to categorize players in certain ways and how a player may react to it.
Except... being competitive is a zero-sum game. Some teams would be more successful and others would be less successful. So his point is fucking worthless. He knows that, of course.

Hutton with a buzzer beater.
Stars find ways to embarrass themselves.

Bettman's a swerve artist. A lot of his responses based on my observations are "well, it's a combination...".

Read this as "FAKE SCORE"
They're so bad they can't even tank right

I'm surprised the Coyotes will even continue to exist next season
Well, unless Quebec is fine with playing in the Central for awhile, they don't really have anywhere else to go.
They can play in my backyard, I'll allow it
Attendance would be better at least.

No, not a real city.
That and Bettman doesn't want to move a team from the West to the East.
Dude stop being humble, remember you're a Leafs fans
Those fucking Tampa Bay Rays deserved it, they had it coming and took the L like the pathetic chumps they are, gone are the days when that boring ass team would ruin every fucking playoff with their boring ass garbage.
Long live future Stanley Cup winners The Toronto Maple Leafs
Don't worry, this year we'll award in based on offensive production.
Congratulations Brent Burns!

Congrats to Zach Werenski or Brent Burns for the Norris this year.
Seriously though the schedule affects so many games. The Leafs will be in the same situation that Tampa was just in next weekend while playing the Sabres. 3rd game in 4 nights, while Sabres will be resting for 3 days before that game. Could see a blowout by the Sabres.
Wait so October Shea won't win it this year either?
With Montreal he doesn't need to care about any trophies.
We should keep our salt for this week man we'll have plenty to throw around, that schedule is beyond stupid
How many hat tricks can Burrows have in 3 games?

I can't wait to see Karlsson as a Red Wing
It's where he belongs, maybe he can win more Norris trophies if he was on a respectable franchise?
(Just some salt for Saturday and Sunday )

Hey that would be cool. I don't think anybody cares to come to Detroit right now until they can show that they have an actual core and not a core that is full of "well he might turn out to be good" at the moment.

I was throwing light jabs at Cake Boss and SNESGAF
Anyone they face in the first round will be emotional, there's history between the Habs and all their potential first round opponents.
he plays for the snes, winning isn't a concern
way less so with the rags than having something like CLOD vs BRUINS
It's pretty damn nice you're already laying out excuses for the inevitable failure your team will stumble into.
Didn't you read the memo? The Ottawa Senators are now my 4th favorite team, so you better watch your mouth cat or else
Eh, I'd disagree, the Bruins vs Julian would be good theatre, but I think there would be more weight against the Rangers after what happened last time.
