When the "Tribute" goes on fans can choose to turn their backs on him the same way he did us. I expect lots of Boos because people love a villian, they love to boo Fox and everyone likes to boo Bettman.

He made his bed he can sleep in it. He owes us nothing we owe him nothing either.
Oh I agree, and I'd be one of the people booing if I were there. But just look at this thread: it's gone from mostly anger towards Johnny on the day of the announcement, to mostly apologist and acceptance towards him by today.

Keep in mind there's a lot of STHers on this site, so I see this place as a sample size of what a Dome crowd reaction would be like. It just doesn't feel like the same level of vitriol towards him that Tavares had. So I'm expecting a mixed reaction from the Dome, even if most people at bars and their living rooms are booing. But we'll see.
