20 year vet Teemu Selanne wrote a blog post for MTV3 in Finland about his thoughts on the NHL lockout, which you may read in full here (if you can’t speak Finnish, here’s the English translation).

However, television giant ESPN, which was rejected by the ice hockey and took the Texas hold’em poker place, is still the biggest source of revenue lost. Then here’s my favorite part… where he criticizes Gary Bettman: Gary Bettman has been the NHL’s boss for almost 20 years. He was hired by the NHL to bring the salary cap, and so he did, as he had received the salary cap NBA Basketball: acquisition. Twice the lockout has been a stoppage during his reign, and each time the lockout is done. Now it is the third! He is certainly the NHL’s most hated person.

That's fine by me, that's why we have these types of forums. So, why not stir the pot once again by digging up the...
