NHL: 2008 - 2009 season is upon us

However, it occurred to me that they may have been booing Bettman himself. Ah well, no matter.

BINGO!! You hit it right with this comment. No matter the arena, Mr. Bettman gets nothing but boos when he shows up. When the Wings won at home in 2002, the boos were deafening - and he was giving the Cup to Stevie Yzerman who is adored in Detroit.

Poorly played by Crosby to not join the handshake line.

I only caught the last 3 minutes because I had a rehearsal (dang it, both for games 6 and 7!) I saw the puck clang off the crossbar...whew! That was a hard-fought Stanley Cup series!

Looks like the 5-0 shellacking gave the Pens the slap upside the head they needed!
