Gary Bettman and Bob Goodenow. These are the two bullheaded bozos who have brought the NHL to the brink of annihilation, Bettman, the commissioner who is intent on planting his heel on the players’ union, and Goodenow, the players association executive director who won’t accept reality.

Absolutely right and we've been saying it on this board for months now. Get rid of Bettman abd Goodenow and maybe we can save next year's season and the league in the long run.

Another article asking for Bettman and Goodenow's heads, by Michael Farber of SI.

"NHL commissioner Gary Bettman should resign. On his way out, he should hold the door for NHLPA executive director Bob Goodenow."

Another good article on why Bettman and Goodenow should be fired!

"Let's start with Goodenow, who has some serious explaining to do to his jilted players' association. He caved on the salary cap but then wouldn't jump on the NHL's final offer – a $42.5 million ceiling – even though it was unlikely he'd ever see a better deal."

"Bettman has been a complete and utter failure as commissioner. There is no other way to describe his tenure. He took a historic business, made major operating changes and, 13 years later, it no longer exists. That's a disaster, no matter how freshly pressed his monogrammed shirts are."

Hear, hear!!! Get rid of them tomorrow!

Er, ok, but is it asking for too much to get two new leaders who have a love of the game and have some real brains??
