Minor compliant that I do have that I would place on Bettman is that the NHL has dropped the ball on setting the atmosphere of the playoffs and Final due to substituting the playoff logos on the ice with the digital ads. (Holy run on sentence)
I get it, money is king. But there's should clear presentation to those in attendance, watching on TV, or viewing images taken from the game that these aren't regular season games. When you saw that logo on the ice, you knew if meant more, and it just presented an aura on its own. Showing the logo here in there through the digital ads cycle doesn't cut it. They need to bring back the playoffs!? logo back somewhere on the ice.
