Bettman awkward? It is more than that, and the contempt that many fans feel for the guy is well deserved. He was brought in by owners and publically charged with solving labor problems with the Players, his solution? LOCKOUTS! In attempting to "break" the NHLPA, Bettman disrespected the game and it's fans, and showed disdain for the Players, as parts of TWO seasons were lost, along with the loss of an ENTIRE season to owner's greed, and Bettman's actions as commissioner...so risking the sport and ignoring it's fans by being the prime mover in the damaging of THREE seasons, Bettman and hard line owners, like Dollar Bill Wirtz, for whom Bettman was a minion, deserve the enmity of NHL fans, in perpetuity.
