08:22 AM ET 11.07 | Among the owners considered doves who are largely outnumbered by hawks, James Dolan may lead the way. In short, anything that Bettman wants, Dolan is said to wish for the opposite. He's a strange cat who operates out of the spotlight. ... In 2008, Dolan and the Rangers sued the NHL for control of its own web site. The Rangers lost, Bettman made threats, and the two settled out of court. With a $1 billion renovation of Madison Square Gardens underway, as many as 60 dark nights wasn't what Dolan had in mind. Especially with a Rangers team that could produce huge playoff revenues. But although he is not Bettman-friendly, Dolan is in such a small minority that he can not pose much of a threat for the commissioner.

If you have friends like Dolan you don't need enemies. He doesn't like the Dwarf, common sense, fans or much else either. :-(

1 Billion renovation.
=============
Wow, I didn't realize they spent that much. That is a lot of popcorn and hot dogs.
I don't blame him for wanting to get his team on the ice.
I agree, the Rangers look like a legitimate threat and have the parts to go deep into a playoff unless the wheels somehow fall off or they get tramped on by a pumped up rival.

"Dolan is in such a small minority that he can not pose much of a threat for the commissioner."
I think the tide is starting to shift.

I dunno. It's tough to retrofit an existing (an old) arena to be as nice as some of the newer buildings. Certainly, you don't think MSG will be better than the Barclay's arena in Brooklyn do you? :)))
