That Bloomberg.com is the source of the thread is what I found most interesting. THis isn't a fanboy source. If there is a source in the media that the owners would think they could find support, you'd think it would be the business press.

My thoughts exactly. This is coming from not a Nick Kypreos or any other full-blown basketcase, but from a source whose main focus of existence is analyzing business, good or bad.

My question is, with all the smart owners in this league (and there are a butt ton of them), why in god's name can't they see how much he hurts their brand and their bottom line?

They're just preaching to the choir.

That's the only reason this thread isn't laughable, because of the source.

Bloomberg also breaking the news that rain is wet

exactly...though I suspect Dolan and a few others are reading this and laughing

I agree, but it's been reported that the inept Dwarf is paid $8 million a year? For what?

This is just too easy. "Shooting fish in a barrel" sound familiar?

and radishes are round and red......sigh.........i still cannot wrap my mind around the idea that while Owners and Team staff are not making any money right now , and the Players are not making any money right now , The Fuhrer and Czar Bettman keep on cashing cheques. Now i know that crime does pay.

For getting player salaries down by 15-20%.

That's the kind of thing a Board of Directors love.

Interesting thought, maybe it should be included in their contracts that if no one makes money, they are included in that group.

Nah, never happen.

Yep. Cos they certainly have no love for the game itself.

It's actually a bit misleading. Bloomberg.com is the website of Henri Bloomberg who is a minor leaguer in the Canadiens system and the guy just doesn't like Bettman.

LMAO! But, they won't love it so much when profits go down 15 or 20%. Or, likely just disappear.
