Gary Bettman is annoying...despite the occassional effort like above to make us giggle.
The NHL Commissioner oversees an operation that alternates between near-genius and buffoonery. Just when you'd like to hand out a rare pat on the back, you're forced to pull your hand back and shake your head in disbelief over another incongruous decision from league headquarters.
But we may have to be nice to Bettman for a while following today's announcement of a fairly historic 10-year, $2-billion-dollar television deal with NBC/Versus.
