If anyone ever deserved the boos, it's Gary Bettman
It was a compelling Stanley Cup finals. I like the way it ended - with the road team winning Game 7. I hate those series where only the home team wins, which had been the case the first six games.
It was terrific that Boston goalie Tim Thomas, the former Detroit Viper castoff and ex-Davison High School player, won the Conn Smythe Award. He is a truly unique player. Great character.
But what I enjoyed most of all was NHL commissioner Gary Bettman getting booed so loudly by the fans in Vancouver that you couldn't even hear what he had to say. Finally, the public dissatisfaction with this clueless leader of the league just let loose.
The one thing I do regret: It was in Vancouver, not Detroit.
Anybody holding their breath and waiting for Bettman to make the right decision about moving the Red Wings to the Eastern Conference where they belong?
Me neither.

Loved that too, Book.
And the Vanc fans cut the booing and cheered when Thomas got the Conn Smythe, and then again when Chara got the Cup. Classy.
But Bettman deserves the booing. He's a leech. He gets booed at the Joe too, don't forget.
Bettman stole everything he could from Phoenix government to keep that team down there, and now he wants the Red Wings to stay in the West to fill seats on the road and make his house of cards stand up. Screw Bettman.

When he basically tried to ban the Octopus tradition at Joe Louis this spring, it was like the final straw.
