Looking at the recent attendance, I'll be surprised if these new owners can last for 5 years.
Bettman's job should be to do what's best for hockey. I realize he isn't up to that though.

Drunken fog?
Bettman isn't paid by hockey so why should his job be to do what's best for hockey? He is paid by the owners of the NHL so his job is to do what they think is best. They obviously think he is doing fine so why should he do anything else?
