09:25 AM ET 08.13 | Gary Bettman may have, as one quote defined it earlier this week, "the hammer," but swinging it in the direction of the Flyers would be imprudent. Team president Peter Luukko told CSNPhilly.com the Flyers consider [Chris Pronger's] contract to be compliant with the rules of the CBA, but league deputy commissioner Bill Daly suggested otherwise. That, however, is a fight the league should avoid. The Flyers are owned by Comcast Spectacor, whose chairman, Ed Snider, has long been an ally of NHL commissioner Gary Bettman; infuriating Snider is the last thing Bettman and the league want as it could potentially jeopardize ownership unity in the next round of CBA talks with the NHLPA.

1) for the second time in a week I say...Let's go Flyers. I would root for Ahmedinejad against Bettman
2) Is it me, or does Bettman look suspiciously like Vladimir Putin here?

Groundhog Gary Bettman is coming out of his hole, to predict if a Canadian team wins the cup this year.

I think he's trying to extract the business end of his hammer from a dark place.

I kind of thought Napolean without the fancy hat.
Only the commish could get non-Philly fans to root for the Flyers :) Of course, this article is correct. Messing with Ed Snider should not be done lightly. He takes his Flyers very seriously and has been a fantastic owner from the start.

As long as they are making money, the owners don't care who the commish is.

Yes well another year of throwing money at the Phoenix situation might start dampening some of the ardor they show the little General

What surprised me was the lack of public outrage from the owners over the tv contract with Vs. They could not have been happy with that, but who knows. It has to kill them to see what the other majors get in tv revenue.

Comcast owns it and they own the Flyers (and Sixers). Snider technically doesn't own the Flyers anymore but I would guess that all things Flyers go thru him before any major decision is made.

Good. Maybe if he annoying them the NHL will get kicked off of VS and move to a real network.
