His attitude towards Bettman, almost patting himself on the back for gotcha moments he created during all star breaks and playoff summits.
And his level of self importance to the game and Canadians just got to be a little much. I've never felt he was the show, any more than I think Ryan Seacrest is the only reason my wife and I watch American Idol. He's good at directing traffic, and that's a skill ... but it isn't the show.
