Actually, since Bettman is a lawyer and is paid not to say anything that might incriminate his clients, he kind of did have to be his shmirky dink self. The relationship between commissioner and owners isn't exactly a normal client-lawyer deal, but I'm sure some of the same expectations apply.
What he said to Wirtz in private was probably much more interesting. I bet it began with ‘Listen, you !@#%&!@ !@#$&*!$!…’ and went from there. But we'll never know, unless he writes a tell-all autobiography after he retires (and Wirtz is safely deceased).
