Will Gary Bettman get booed at the draft in Minnesota?

[GAGLine]

They'll all be yelling boo-urns.

 

[wedge]

not a chance he doesn't get booed.

 

[Mansfield]

I've never heard of bettman not being booed. It's a sport in itself.

 

[hdtrax]

He shouldn't, considering he brought a team back to Minnesota. But yeah, he probably will. Got booed in LA last year, why not Minny?

 

[Jussi]

Any boos will turn to cheers when says the following words "I have a trade to announce..."

 

[Danadiens]

Does Bettman get booed in Pitt? Serious question.

 

[Bookman]

I'd like boos, then switch over to "Norm sucks."

 

[Burgs]

Does Bettman get booed in Pitt? Serious question.

Remember the "Gary! Gary!" chants in Pittsburgh some years ago? You really think they were for that Roberts guy?

 

[GopherState]

I'd like boos, then switch over to "Norm sucks."

Well I'm planning on going with "Norm still sucks" so sounds good to me.

 

[ThirdManIn]

Phoenix and Pittsburgh are the only places where he wouldn't get it boo'ed and deservely so.

Boo the **** out of this moronic midget.

I'd say he isn't likely to get booed in Nashville, though the Atlanta move may have changed that. People aren't smitten with the guy here, but we simply don't give a ****. What is booing him going to do? Personally, I'd rather just enjoy being at the draft. To each their own

 

[Loso]

Based on this small statistical sample, everyone in Minnesota is named Norm.

This.

 

[Ogopogo*]

Bettman always gets booed, despite the fact he actually does a pretty good job.

 

[member 96824]

Bet you 80% don't know why they're booing.

 

[headsigh]

We down here actually have a reason to boo.

As well, when they were speculating leaving, Bettman warned Minnesota that they would never get a team again, and made one of the most assinine statements ever, showing he knew nothing about hockey: "In my experience, the successful franchises are the ones in cities that adore them, love them, worship them, support them. Norm Green says that there isn't enough of that in Minnesota. I don't mean to be critical, but that may be the problem."

That truly is one of the stupidest things I've seen from him, which is saying a lot.

 

[ItsTheBGB]

Does a bear **** in the woods?

Is a frogs ass water tight?

 

[Robert Theodorson]

Bettman is like a dictator

He's impossible to remove from power unless you use force and he's universally disliked by anyone who's not directly working for him.

 

[Rob Brown]

We down here actually have a reason to boo.

You love to whine don't you. Every thread I see you post in it's some reference to you being pissed off, regardless of whether it's relevant to the topic.

I'm European, it's in my blood to complain.

 

[TheDanceOfMaternity]

The lockout was brutal.

But other than that.... I think the NHL is actually in better shape than the other 3 major sports at the moment.

 

[KeziaTML]

I think this question should be " How long will it take for people to stop booing once he steps on the stage"

 

[Bender]

Yeah he'll be booed by everyone except for the 30 owners, whom he's done a very good job making lots of money for.

I don't care enough to boo.

 

[jessebelanger]

As soon as the move was announced however, he gleefully stated With the "North Stars moving from Minnesota to Dallas, and Los Angeles, San Jose and Tampa Bay it gives us six teams in the Sun Belt."

As well, when they were speculating leaving, Bettman warned Minnesota that they would never get a team again, and made one of the most assinine statements ever, showing he knew nothing about hockey: "In my experience, the successful franchises are the ones in cities that adore them, love them, worship them, support them. Norm Green says that there isn't enough of that in Minnesota. I don't mean to be critical, but that may be the problem."

Any sources for these quotes?

I'm becoming less and less sympathetic toward you every time you post something like this.

 

[LeHab]

I'm looking for this type of treatment.
