Poll Question:
Gary Bettman and a rotation of other league executives are set to host a radio show on XM satellite radio starting on November 27th. Assuming you could have (or do have) access to XM radio, please choose which describes your thoughts regarding this:

Choices:
Very cool - I''d love to get Gary''s viewpoint on a variety of topics.
Okay - I''d probably check it out with some interest.
Whatever - not interested, but maybe someone will be.
Ridiculous -a waste of time and air.
I''d rather stick metal objects into my ear canal than listen to Gary Bettman speak.
Who is Gary Bettman?

I'd probably listen in, if for no other reason, to find out the league's rationale for keeping Jim Balsillie out of the owner's circle, and essentially blocking another team from moving to Canada.

I think Gary Bettman is a tool, personally. He's a basketball guy running a hockey league from an American perspective.

I went with the metal in the ear canal thing. Less painful!

In fact, maybe it will help with my recent ear inflammation problems

But if I'm PERHAPS wrong about that, I'd still rather just watch the images of former NHL guys on Off The Record, than listen to that "baka" (you can guess what that word means in Japanese).

He won't say anything different than he has already said in TV interviews...

Waist of time...

I don't necessarily agree with everything I say.

But it's also a rotation of other NHL executives. Honestly, I don't listen to Bettman a whole lot, but every time Colin Campbell is on HNIC I can't turn the channel away.

I think it would be kinda cool to see the perspective of the league office. Not just Bettman.

And let's not forget, Bettman can't do things in the league without the majority of owners agreeing to it. That being the case, if you knock Bettman, you are more than likely knocking the owner of your team.

Wayne or Bobby?? How about both!!!
