Report: Bettman issues warning

3/29/2004
Gary Bettman has seen and heard enough.

According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the NHL Commissioner sent a memo to all teams last week warning coaches and general managers that they are accountable for the behaviour of their players on the ice.

Oh gee, Gary, it's only been a matter of WEEKS since the Bertuzzi incident, and there have been several incidents since then that have further given the NHL a black eye... You've been MIA all this time -- do you REALLY think you should speak up now?

Really, Gary... Do you?

You're only the commissioner... It's not like you're expected to show fortitude... or are you? Hmm, you are probably wondering about that....
