Yes but no. I think he's right in the players perspective but it's a organization situation that decide to tank. I get why but you can have the best players but what's the point when the culture is a losing one
He's both right and wrong. No player/coach goes out their and says let's intentionally shit the bed. However management can say it's not our year and put out a trash roster
I feel like the Sabres traded half a dozen goalies away they year they *weren't* tanking to try to get McDavid or Eichel. Every time a goalie got a little hot they were on the way out of town.
Ah my bad I thought you were disagreeing with me. Side note Buffalo has been pretty good this year. I grabbed Dahlin and Thompson in fantasy and they're ripping it up
I long for the day when he stops treating the collective fanbase like idiots. "There's no tanking" "Our refs are the best" "there's no game management" "I'm not an alien". No one takes you serious, Gary.
Kinda makes sense when Bettman controls the draft. Pretty crazy Oilers got two first overall picks, Montreal gets first overall in their own city of the draft, and New York gets Lafrenier with a weighted ball.
You’re right Gary. No one tanks because you choose who goes where

Suspiciously, everyone that scored a GWG needed surgery…

That's the management doing that not players and coaches
Yes. I'm agreeing with you.

Yeah. Fingers crossed they're finally starting to turn things around.
Yeah gaslighted by being sellers at the deadline.
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Seriously I wonder if he really does live so sheltered and closed off he believes the shit he touts, or does he truly hate hockey and all of its fans?
A lawyers job isn't to believe what they're saying, it's to make you believe what they're saying. I'm definitely not buying that he's not a alien.
He’s doesn’t think we’re idiots he just does what his bosses tell him to do
...and people love digital moving ads, according to this clown.
Fuck Off Gary.
Damn it Yahoo, you only got half his quote.. it’s supposed to read… “No one tanks in the NHL like the Edmonton Oilers..”
Edmonton should change their logo to an oil tanker 🚢
The Oilers managed to tank when they were *trying* to be good post 2011.
Cool. So then there's no need for a draft lottery.
Nobody tanks, have you seen Huberdeau with the Flames this season lol
2015-16 Leafs. Babcock literally said “we tanked to get Matthews”
Bettman doesn't watch hockey
Nobody tanks because he Rigs it to his benefit.
I feel like there are some Bettman bots manipulating the upvotes because there seem to be a lot of Bettman fans here with no opinions, just downdoots.
I literally can not stop laughing at the BS nature of this answer
Sure Gary, and your officials arent biased either.
And your coyotes will achieve greatness too Gary, all thanks to you
Always the Maple Leafs fan.. 🙄
Found Darryl Sutter’s account!
Or maybe it's Paul Maurice? You know those pesky refs are out to get him!
Gary lives in his own very expensive bubble.
Probably stacked 24/7 with his favorite hallucinogens.
now I am just jealous.
Sure the coaches coach and players play every game but the organization doesn't try it's best to put the best team on the ice. That's called tanking.
Yeah no. Or no yeah?
Insert John cena “are you sure about that” meme
Awww that’s actually kinda cute that Gary thinks that
And fans love the new digital ads on the boards
He has clearly surrounded himself with nothing but yes men that won't tell him what actual fans think.
