This is just looking pathetic now by the NHL. One would think the fact that nobody wants to buy the team and keep it in Phoenix for a reason.

I think Rattman has finally lost it. Either that or he owes someone in Glendale HUGE.
Can't think of any other reason he's fighting so hard to keep a failed franchise in the city that failed it.

There's a brilliant precedent. Damn, Bettman's a dummy. And so is the City of Glendale who couldn't work out a lease with Reinsdorf.

You must be British cuz "Bettman's a dummy", is a prime example of British understatement.

The NHL Board is made of the owners. Most of these, presumably, are wealthy people who got that way by knowing a thing or two about business. So why does Bettman think they would want to sink millions into a losing proposition like Phoenix? Sounds like it's getting personal with Bettman. And that's just bad business.
