The owners love Bettman as he takes all the heat and stress off the owners. There's a reason he has been around for so long. He got the NHLPA to accept the salary cap which was previously a non-negotiable hill to die on for the players.
A warm segment with Gary Bettman gents. A couple of easy questions and no push back on his "canned" responses. Gary rarely gents into in-depth discussions with the media The 4 Nations is a one off, which I wish didn't include any Canucks as they need to be resting those 2 weeks instead, before the final playoff push. I do hope the new agreement comes smoothly for all sides but deals with some of the shenanigans of LTIR, Free Agency, etc. Thanks for the video Gents.
Like him or dislike him, I have to give some credit for Gary Bettman for this interview - he actually did some homework to learn enough about the Canucks to come across like he knows a lot about the team. 31 years on the job, and the NHL has become a big-time business empire. We have lost some of the purest parts of the game, and there has been many decisions by the league over the years that I am still bothered by, but as far as business goes, you can't deny that Bettman has been a very successful commissioner.
30 years, wow. I think Gary's lack of public speaking ability has worked against his apparent competence behind the scenes, the league looks to be in great shape compared to 1993. Thanks D+D!
DERPPP THE LEAGUE LOOKS GOOD DERPPPP reality: Between 2012-2021 - Thirteen NHL teams lost money (in millions USD): - Florida (-195.9) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Arizona (-141.6) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION - NY Islanders (-132.1) - Carolina (-108.8) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION - Tampa (-74.4) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Buffalo (-59.9) - Anaheim (-79.6) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Columbus (-76.0) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - San Jose (-13.3) - Nashville (-64.1) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - Minnesota (-55.1) - GARY BETTMAN EXPANSION TEAM - St. Louis (-43.9) - Colorado (-23.5) - GARY BETTMAN RELOCATION Fun Fact: Atlanta set the NHL record for MOST MONEY lost by ANY franchise in history...$130 million losses in only 5 years between 2005-2010, but that is where Gary Bettman is dead set on returning...why is he in charge? These owners have no power, they look so weak kowtowing to his stupidity.
Probably one of the many fat rich right wing Americans who would love for Canada to be annnexed by the orange emperor. He’s had it in for Canadian teams for decades now.

Most americans do not even consider the NHL, A NATIONAL SPORT.
Indeed, I got a chuckle out of him having ANY idea of the Canucks' stats.
Good interview
Such a slimeball. Oh well, good interview, glad you guys asked about reffing... typical corporate responses 😅
Good interview 👍
Hot topic button LOL. Love these guys I feel like if Bettman wasn’t the guest Donny would have started razzing Rick there
The Count 😊, Thanks cheers for the stability
Why didn't you guys ask about Kelly Sutherlands inconsistent calls
They literally asked about ref bias lol
@@H_VAN Bro we need to know about Kelly specifically
@@nelloismello why did wes mcauley get to ref sheldon keefe playoff games?
Allow more content get rid the regional black outs
Gary is a great commissioner for the owners and players.
My wish to him is cap the teams to where they are now and please no more expansion….

I'm glad a chosen one runs the greatest league in the world.
Wow, how did you guys get Gary on?
Ricky needed to pull in a couple favours if you get what I mean
Feeding the old man candy
