As commissioner of the NHL, it is Gary Bettman's responsibility to take into account the safety of the players. However, his incompetence becomes clearer by the day. Those of you who follow hockey will be aware of the incident where Philadelphia Flyer, Randy Jones, hit Boston Bruins Center, Patrice Bergeron, from behind. Bergeron lay unconscious on the ice for nearly a quarter of an hour, before being carted off on a stretcher. The injury was mere inches away from being life threatening, and as it is, it will be a while before any of us see Bergeron on the ice again. Bergeron was seriously injured, sustaining a grade three concussion, and a broken nose, while Jones received a mere two game suspension. Jones is the third Flyers player this season to have seriously injured another player (the other two received 20 and 25 game suspensions) in only the first three weeks of the season! Yet Bettman refuses to look into the Flyers organization.
So this is what worries me and many other NHL fans: What is it going to take for Bettman to put a stop to this By suspending Jones for only two games, Bettman is making it appear that dangerous hits like this are only slightly wrong, and not a very big deal. Why doesnâ
He's also extremely incompetent and having him as safety minister insults our intelligence...get a brain Carney do you really think Canadians are all that stupid? If they have the facts I would hope they are not. Those of us who do our homework aren't putting up with this kind of going show

Gary Bettman has been refusing to let any Canadian team like the Oilers and even the Calgary Flames in any of the Stanley Cup playoffs win any game at all due to himself betting on the American hockey teams to win instead of wanting any Canadian teams to win in the Stanley Cup playoffs this year and several years ago for the Calgary Flames who lost their chances to win in a Stanley Cup playoff win.
