The NHL Players Association isn't happy that hockey's international governing body has suspended the contracts of six players. The International Ice Hockey Federation announced Friday that the transfers of Alex Radulov and five others are officially under investigation. All six players are looking to transfer between the NHL and Russia's new Continental Hockey League (KHL). There is currently no formal transfer agreement in place between those leagues but both sides had committed to honoring each other's contracts. The NHLPA believes the IIHF has no right to suspend the players.

"I am making it my primary concern to seek out dissention wherever I may find it" stated Fuhrer Bettman. "Anyone who is disrespectful to my faithful lieutenants will receive a severe slap on the wrist. Furthermore I will not allow those upstart owners to think that they have any say whatsoever in the appearance or content of their team websites. They will all bow to me, or face the consequences."

Following this audacious statement Bettman was today reported to be in hiding having received a challenge from his most vocal critic, Spiny Norman, to a debate about hockey.

Spiny Norman

This just in .... sources within the bunker claim that Bettman was "crying like a baby" at the thought of having to face Spiny Norman. "But I don't know anything about hockey" the Commissioner is alleged to have sobbed. "Don't worry Gary" Burke is heard to have replied. "I'll throw a few more accusations at Lowe and that'll throw them off the scent for a while". "You're my saviour Bryan" gibbered Bettman, "how can I ever thank you?"

"Thanks, Burkey. How'd you like to be the GM of the new Puerto Rico Club? You can live in my hideout where I stay when Spiny is on the prowl."

but neither of them are smart enough to use...sarcasm...

BETTMAN IS THE ESSENCE OF S***S

July 21, 2008  01:34 PM ET

No ... nor dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes or satire ....
(hang on, haven't we been here before ..... ? lol)

And they're not a terribly cheery lot, either.

The Globe and Mail

And ... the NHLPA has no right to tell the IIHF what to do!

July 21, 2008  01:45 PM ET

The IIHF is supposed to have the right, as they are supposed to be the INTERNATIONAL Federation. When last I looked, that does incude North America. Having your authority questioned by the NHLPA is ironic at best (hey Oilers...there's our IRONY)

The NHLPA is like Renfield to BETTMAN'S Dracula

BETTMAN S***S

Such a lack of respect, bad bgm.
Alas Baun-ded appears to be AWOL, as are Bentley and GoCanada. Maybe they're on extended vacation?
