King seems to have gone into hiding after his little powerpoint presentation.. I just hope there isn't a rift between King and Nenshi that can't be overcome.

I tend to believe that the people that loath Bettman are the lesser educated fans of the NHL. The guy hasn't been perfect as a major role of being a commissioner of a professional sports league is to take the bullets for the owners but I firmly believe Bettman deserves credit for the prosperity of Canadian teams today. Without that salary cap there would be no team in Winnipeg.
