When it comes to the sport I love, I want the best! I refuse to let personal get involved with business. I feel Bettman took the teams to the South way too fast. I dont really want you to lose your team as much as I want your team's home games to sell out on a nightly basis.

Tell that to Winnipeg and Quebec, the NHL turned there backs on them and refuse to look back. Someone has to get hurt, it will suck for the fans that lose there team, but its not my fault. I'm pissed off that these teams cant sell out, but I dont blame the passionate fans like you, I blame Bettman and his crappy way of selling this sport.

All my hate towards the NHL is Bettman and the owners(some) dumb marketing decisions, that clearly arent working.

If you "refuse to let personal get involved with business" you are taking NHL business entirely too personally in the argument that any team south of the Mason Dixon line should be moved regardless of their viability in the said market.

Ya if it means Tampa Bay loses a team, then so be it. I wont let the fact that the 13 fans in T Bay dont want to lose there team, be a reason the team should stay.

Not saying its going to move, just an example!

Bettman on the other hand is a dick head, hes a complete screw up and everyone should let him know he is. How can you not get personal with the guy whos raping our sport?
