Except for Montreal in 93 (His 1st year I believe) no Canadian team has won the cup. Might have something to do with the big NBC contracted he sought? A Maple Leaf & Oilers final would be a ratings nightmare.
He did his best to keep Quebec out of the league. Moved teams to regions no one asked for. Sticks morbidly to his "Project Arizona" even though it failed well over 20 years ago. (We have here in Switzerland a village with 900 inhabitants which has a higher spectator average). The guy is resistant to learning....

Hard to say if he was the best or the worst since he's been there so long that it's hard to compare. The owners love him because their pockets are full, the players love him because their pockets are full but the fan hate him because their pockets are empty.
League used to be part of a "big four" in North America, and now it is in the second tier, at best, while the snore fest of baseball is going strong and getting praise for a rule change that makes it slightly less boring.
😫Personally responsible for ruining the NHL. The last Canadian team to have won the Stanley Cup was when he took office 30 years ago. All things being equal, it is statistically impossible that this could happen...unless there are mitigating factors influencing this. Butt-Man is totally responsible for these factors. Awful person
A Canadian hater since 93 . 30 years . He should’ve learn how to catch a Football . He can rig the Superbowls . They make Billions of Dollars . He should’ve went to the NFL .
@@OilFan702 pays the refs twice as much to say make sure there’s no goals . I feel like he will screw McDavid & Draisaitl over the cup . Believe me . He’s a Yankee . And that’s that
@@simonmarshall19 lol you make no sense. The reason a Canadian team has not won in that long is because there are way less Canadian teams (and usually only a few make the playoffs each season) and they choke in the playoffs and especially in the finals.
how hypcritical to stand in front of the canadian flag,when this guy worked hard to get Hockey out of Canada as much as possible..let's see...2023 - 30 = 1993.... well,that was the last year the cup was In Canada ...what a coincidence.....
Congrats on 30 years at NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman! 👏 To all the haters in the comments, Gary built the NHL to what it is today. Without his steady hand at the wheel, the League wouldn’t be able to compete financially with the other bigger market sports. And with 30 years as the head of the NHL, I guarantee that no one in this comment section knows more about hockey or cares more about it than him.
It barely beats golf and is sixth on the list behind all the other Major sports including F1 racing , your not exactly setting a very high bar for the words "compete financially"
Worst thing that ever happened to hockey. He stole Canada's game for personal gain. Canada will nvr win a cup with him at the helm. Stop spending money on the nhl in canada is the only way out
Bettman gets hate for no reason other than Canadian teams trying to blame him for their lack of cups even though their GMs are the ones that build the teams and they’ve failed.
The last year a Canadian franchase won the cup was the first year gary bettman became commisioner. Coincidence? I think not. 30 years of pushing the newest teams and American dead hockey towns.
Leaf fans need to take a step back and stop buying leaf merchandise and Tickets! Let the NHL die, it's time... This sport is for the rich and they feed of of the middle class (poor) and laugh at us behind our backs!
No one's perfect, idk why he gets so much hate. Like the league isn't in a great place with some teams and international. But I'd argue the nhl is the most exciting league in sports right now. Outside of the massive amount of soccer leagues.
That's like saying you don't understand why Bush got all the hate. You're just not paying attention. "Why's everybody so mad at Stalin? I don't get it." - you

Was eating food and almost spit it out. Thanks for the laugh lmao
Canadian fans salty that he’s expanding the game into more markets and not catering to the seven crappy ones in Canada that never win anything.

Yes, that was never going to happen
The NHL needs a Canadian commish who will steer the balance of power back towards the Canadian teams
#MakeTheNHLGreatAgain
Or at least understands the game. How the Penguin weaseled his way into a lifetime appointment for a job that didn’t exist is beyond me.
Retire anytime you feel like Bettman. The sooner the better

30 years of hell, coincidental a Canadian team hasn’t won since he’s Americanized the game.
How is that bettman's fault?

Last time I checked Vancouver and Montreal made it to the finals. Ottawa almost did. And there are far fewer teams than in America.

Congrats on 30 years of ruining hockey, old man
30 years. This is why hockey hasn’t progressed and expanded as much as it should through the modern era. Clings on to pathetic markets.
Ugh. Let's see if you delete this comment, too. I noticed, Sportsnet.
YOU DELETED ONE ALREADY. I NOTICED THAT, TOO.

He was the NBA’s shortest commissioner so he came to the NHL and was instantly taller!
Numerous work stoppages and team relocation.

But Canadians are inferior, so things aren't equal
Don't blame Bettman, blame yourself 😂
Maybe the GMs and coaches of those teams just suck?
For every final game of the Stanley Cup Finals every year, how many times has Gary Bettmen been to each NHL arena?
I guess it's a party for one then. Gfy bettman
30 years of agony for fans - and 30 years of Jabba the Hut ruining hockey.

He needs to GO!
Is it a coincidence that no Canadian team has won the cup since he's been commissioner..........I THINK NOT !
His passion is money…like all the chosen people.. 🤷♂️

i hope it's his last

Get him out of there. He's awful!!!
Boo
Bouuuuuu. What a disgrace.
bunch of Whiners up in here
anti Canadian conspirators 😂
I don’t care for Bettman, but how has Bettman conspired to keep Canadian teams from winning the Cup? No whining, just details.
Expanding the nhl to add more American nhl teams
So Bettman (who serves the owners) added American teams specifically to stop Canadian teams? NHL added many US teams pre-Bettman.
Tilted calls when it counted.
Senile
No one's perfect, idk why he gets so much hate. Like the league isn't in a great place with some teams and international. But I'd argue the nhl is the most exciting league in sports right now. Outside of the massive amount of soccer leagues.
