>>Agreed. The owners also need to fire Bettman and hire someone like Bob Gainey. The league does not need a lawyer from the NBA's front office who is clueless about hockey and has zero respect of, and is hated by, the players. Someone like Gainey who has played, is a Hall of Famer, coached and GMed an NHL team, won Cups as a player and GM, is what the league needs to rebuild itself.

>PMFJI, Could we at least leave Gainey where he is until he brings the Habs back to respectability?

No disrespect for the Habs, but if Gainey can resurrect the league as I think he could, this could be even greater news for all the Canadian teams. Leveling the playing field between the Habs and Hab-nots (sorry for the bad pun) is what we need to help save the NHL in Canada.
