The NHL Needs A Forward Thinking Leader

from Stephen Brunt of the Globe and Mail,

What a thing it would be for hockey to have someone at the helm who could ride the momentum from the Olympics, who could grab the owners by their lapels and say forget your dead-end ideas, now is the time to take a leap, to think internationally and reap big rewards down the road. Someone who could forge a relationship with the players based on real mutual interests rather than threats.

Why leave Europe to the KHL, close the doors opened by the Olympic experience, when the alternative is the same-old, same-old game of diminishing returns?

Barring a remarkable transformation, Bettman just isn’t that guy. And for hockey and those who love it, that’s too bad.
