08:40 AM ET 11.26 | Give hockey fans a chance, and they will treat NHL commissioner Gary Bettman with hostility. The NHL returned, at least for a night, as Team New York defeated Team Philly/New Jersey, 10-6, in a benefit game before a sellout crowd of 10,792 hockey-starved fans at Boardwalk Hall on Saturday night. "We want hockey! We want hockey!" they chanted as the official attendance was announced early in the third period. It was reportedly the first hockey sellout in Atlantic City since 1933. ... Before the game and during the latter stages of the third period, there were chants of "Fire Bettman!" "Bettman sucks!" chants also echoed around the old arena. The Penguins' James Neal scored four goals to pace New York. Martin Brodeur was the losing goalie.

I don't think he was there Danny. He was offered in the raffle. Everybody loves cranky lawn-jockeys.
Canuck eh?

Very good question. Unless boos and curses are music to his ears. Wouldn't surprise me.

Not a problem, every few years there is no handoff of the Cup. Not gonna be one in 2013.

That's what happens when fans spend too much time on FN reading Canuck's posts. :-)

Sorry your Stamps came up short against the Argo-nots, HC. Must've been surreal watching any kind of Cup celebration in Toronto.
Next year, HC. Get 'em next year.

I'm sure Justin Trudeau probably slipped a little something into the Stamps water bottles...

Probably just a little payback. Wasn't it in Calgary Mick slipped a little something into Margaret?

It is music to his ears...just watch the draft each year and every year they boo him the fu__cker cracks a smile.

This years or next years new captain of the winning team should refuse to be handed the cup from him.......now THAT would make a statement.

Our back up QB was schooled by Toronto's Starting Quarterback. I was hung over like a rat from a weekend party in Kanaskis. Watching that embarrassing offensive performance just extended the nausea ;-)

The knife was already up to the hilt in HC's heart. Did you have to come along and give it a twist?
