Bettman is so embarrassing, talking about the Calgary arena situation.

West end was rejected because is was going to be a 1.2-1.7 BILLION dollar project.

pure lunacy in this economic environment...
Pretty sure Bettman isn't a moron. And you actually think he's going to argue against the owners' position?

The whole situation is embarrassing. Bettman might be the least embarrassing part of the whole thing.

Nenshi, And King are the biggest embarrassment, acting like Children instead of actually negotiating in good faith.

I do like the Atlantic jerseys though.

Who do they slobber over when McDavid isn't playing? Matthews, I guess.

Not sure why people think it’s planned. All stuff we’ve heard the past 6 months, Zero news from that. Bettman just restated the facts more or less and ended on the fact that all he knows about the current situation is the Flames and city are not talking.

The cost would be similar but MSG revenues are several orders of magnitude greater.

he's being disingenuous with the facts; that's worse.

he's a slimy shill for the ownership group.

Better?

Kudos to Maclean for asking tough questions face-to-face with Bettman. Love the fact Rogers brought him back. Best 10 minutes of allstar weekend every year.

Wonder what MSG plus land value in that location is worth?

Just meant Bettman must have known McLean would bring up arena situation.

What facts did he lie about?

You seem to be quite upset. The deal wasn't accepted, so, I'm not sure why.

He said that the CIty of Calgary wanted the Flames to pay for the whole arena. Which completely untrue. Completely.

Didn't hear that. But it's the same spin the Flames have used. It is an interpretation I don't agree with, but it depends on how you view the repayment requirement of the City.
