Will Gary Bettman get booed at the draft in Minnesota?

[Renbarg]

I always thought they were louuuuuuu-ing

 

[Alex The Loyal]

I'm looking for this type of treatment.

I love that video so much. You can tell that Bush is enjoying it

This is a multi-billion dollar business so Gary does what is required of him. I don't see what the big deal is, it's a cold, greedy world out there in case someone hasn't noticed and the NHL as a business is no different.

In terms of rule changes I think he and the NHL have done a good job. A weaker man in charge during the last few years and we'd have women's rules right now.

If someone insists on booing the man, doing so at the draft is ok by me but doing so when the Cup is being presented is seriously lame.

 

[Ninety7]

Probably

 

[Wingdings]

I can hear the boos already.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Is a frogs ass water tight?

Does Howdy Dooty have a wooden dick?

They're saying Boo-urns

Brent Boo-urns.

The only place he wouldn't get boo'ed is Phoenix.

Im sure any teams in any southern city wouldnt boo him. But I do think Phoenix will at this rate with the way the NHL has handled this mess the league is in part responsible for. Especially if the team takes a a big blow to the roster this upcoming season in addition to trading away the rights of Bryz.

I agree, it's classless to boo when the cup is presented. But I can't believe he actually touched the cup, I thought there was a rule against that.

He's like "WTF is that sound?! Wait! It can't be! App..Appl.. applause?! So that's what it sounds like huh? "

Bettman made his wife dinner himself. Forgot the maple syrup, so he got booed by her (self-cockblock).
On Father's day, his kids, nieces and nephews all booed him. The nieces were harmonizing the boo.

To answer the OP, **** YES!

 

[Gnashville]

I've heard him say the booing doesn't bother him but it did bother his kids and wife at first, although they have gotten used to it. He's got thick skin and really understands that the booing has become tradition. When you make tough and unpopular decisions the backlash is expected. Stern, Goodell, and esp. Selig would also hear the boo's but rarely make those type of appearences.

Minnesota hockey fans have discovered the joy of booing the last couple of seasons. No way Bettman escapes if we booed kids with cancer just because they were in a suite donated by Gaborik.

 

[Tom ServoMST3K]

There will be a large contingent of Winnipeg Fans there, so yes

WRONG.

He was booed at the draft in Carolina. Booed at the Cup presented in Carolina. Booed when he announced the ASG was coming to Carolina.

Pretty sure booing him is just a tradition now. Most may not know why they do it, but he's done enough to warrant it.

 

[King RAZZ]

Let's put it this way... If you bet vCash against it...it will be a losing wager...

 

[Leviathan]

does Bettman get the treatment he got at the Stanley Cup Finals

Will the sun rise tomorrow?

 

[Jules Winnfield]

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.

Bettman gets booed in Pittsburgh.

I've never not seen him get booed at an arena.

 

[legendinblue]

Yes, he will. I would be shocked if he wasn't.

 

[Jarick]

I will be there and I will boo. But we Minnesotans are a pretty low key people, so the booing will be a lot more subdued than your average city.

 

[TicketBroker]

The draft is in America, no? They have plenty of idiots there, so yeah, there will be booing.

 

[LeftCoast]

Well of course we're going to throw poo at him.

 

[Robert604strom]

He should get boo`ed hes the worst at his job. And his attitude comes off the wrong way. He should just quit and replace stern.

 

[dm1371]

Of course, follow the tradition.
