he's such a douchebag. how humble to give himself an incomplete. the fan base was never "indifferent" John.......

The ability to draw upon my 24 years with the Cubs.............. YIKES!



Indifferent? Hardly. Fans were passionate-they loved the team and looked past $bill or they hated him; there was no middle ground.

In McDouche-ian the term indifferent means the Hawks weren't making enough money.

How about Bettman's "State of the League" address yesterday... all that can be said is... :doh:

When did you find religion?

I would like to take this moment to remind everyone how much McD sucks. (StuG will be along in a moment to remind you all about Niemi.)

1. Shootouts

2. Hideous sweaters

3. Changing of the division/conference names

4. Not one, but TWO lockouts

5. Trapezoid



I can go on, but you get the drift. He's not a hockey guy, doesn't respect the traditions of our game, and doesn't care to learn them.



That said, he did do something right. Changing the size of the goalies' leg pads blew up in his face, but every goalie will tell you they are more mobile with the narrower pads.

No problem.



Took me a while to find my McDouche to English dictionary.

No please continue.............so far I see one of your line items directly falling at the feel of Bettman. This is really great comedy for me.

Glad to humor you.



I realize the 'the buck stops here' is a foreign concept to you, but as commissioner, he is responsible for the welfare of the League.



It's OK to be a fanboy for the twins (McD & D); just expect to be called out for it.

 

[fanof19]

you mean "the buck stops here" only applies to the GM and QO shit last year? and no one else?

The Buck will never stop there. It will continue to roll right down hill to another.

 

[PatrickShart]

The players and a competition committee have a bit of a say so in rule changes...not Betteman

It's not a fucking dictatorship Klemm. There are committees on both the players side and management side who actually dictate rules and regs. How do you know Bettman was actually in favor of the trapezoid? Maybe he favors no touch icing? Have you seen in print the things he believes in and things he doesnt.



And then for being a first class ass clown thinking I am a supporter of McDick for the Brains when 99% of posters at IHN know my feelings on the subject proves once again you may have been a fan of this team for 100 some odd years but most of the time you haven't a clue. I think age may be catching up to you.
