God, how people lose sight; this isn't the international hockey steering committee, its the NHL, an entertainment company. It isn't Canada's game he's running, its an international company out there that wants to maximize profits. They can do as they please, and Bettman is what they please. They could make it 10 quarters with a slam dunk competition at the end and you'd have no more say if the owners want it that way.
Call me when Bettman starts dictating how you play your pond shinny.
