Everyone hates this guy even though he's only a flag man for the owners. As stated Bettman was the perfect fit for the job; ex-lawyer with a stiff upper lip and skin thick enough a rhino would be jealous. Given the mob mentality of hockey fans, most would be ecstatic to see him go failing to realize the next guy will have the same pedigree, same resume, and the same cut-throat attitude. At heart it isn't this guy everyone hates (but it is easy to hate him) but the ownership pulling his puppet strings.
But seriously.....wouldn't you just love to punch him right in the yap just once? Boot him and the fans will come running back.
