i absolutely love bettman's claim last night that the whole phoenix debacle isn't based around personal or regional differences, but rather the leagues desire to "strictly enforce the rules so that no one feels slighted". not only is bettman being a complete jackass about this balsille thing (side note: IMO phoenix should be ****ing moved, if they can't keep in business then they shouldn't be in business), he has also successfully turned the NHL into the laughing stock of the professional sports world with his ridiculous favoritism and bull****ting.

enforcing the rules? wheres the MANDATORY game suspension for malkin's little tiff with zetterburg in game 3? where's the MANDATORY game misconduct for not tying his jersey down, which i know sounds petty but when the misconduct is given out on EVERY SINGLE OTHER OCCASION and campbell decides to pardon it's bull****. had the rules been "enforced", there goes malkin's 3 assists, and perhaps this thing turns out differently. now don't get me wrong, i ****ing hate detroit and pittsburgh immensely but when the NHL is turned into a mockery of what it formerly was, making favoritism and compromises with it's standards commonplace just because some ****er from the NBA thinks its good for ratings, then i start to get pissed.
