If Alfredsson retires ... blame Bettman?

Duh

Alfie or the Ottawa Sun would be saying the same thing even if the CBA talks were next year

To say this is a stupid article is a vast understatement.

It is also par for the course here.

In doing what he might think is best for the game, Bettman is causing all sorts of damage from a fan's perspective.

This just in....

No doubt Slappy, there's much to dislike about the reign of the Buttgoblin, but Alfredsson's indecision is Alfredsson's problem, not Bettman's.

Sid's been going commando for years now.

This is going to be the longest thread in the history of TnR if we are going to start listing names of those that blame or things to blame to Bettman.

"Many people in these parts, already suffocated by the summer's heat, are now growing impatient with Daniel Alfredsson's dilly-dallying on whether to retire or play on."

What the heck does the summer heat have to do with his "dilly-dallying" or Bettman?
