Rangers Kicked Out of NHL???

NHL SUES TO KICK OUT GARDEN
PUNISHING RANGERS FOR PREVIOUS SUIT
AP

June 19, 2008 --

The National Hockey League is threatening to kick out Madison Square Garden, the owners of the Rangers , as punishment for accusing the league of violating antitrust laws.

The NHL filed court papers Wednesday that included a draft letter from commissioner Gary Bettman. In its court filing, the NHL asked a judge to agree MSG has breached its contract by challenging league rules and that it can force out MSG.

Madison Square Garden sued the NHL in September, saying it violated antitrust laws by monopolizing control of team promotions. And a judge said in November the league seemed within its rights to take control of the team's Web site.

Messages left with MSG were not immediately returned.

This will be Bettman's Waterloo.

If MSG is kicked out as owners, where will the Rangers play? I hope they do try to give Dolan the boot. He'll come back with another lawsuit that would be more damaging to the NHL. Maybe then the owners will realize that Bettman's dictatorial treatment of this issue and others really isn't good for the game and he'll be the one gone instead. Frankly, I don't see why every team's website has to be exactly the same or why Gary is getting in such a huff over it.

If Bettman wins, the NHL controls everything that happens on the websites and all team related information will be directed and dictated by the NHL. Do you like the thought of that? I know I don't. Let the teams decide what's news and what isn't, what they want to promote and what they don't.

The issue really comes down to whether Bettman is the most arrogant prick alive or just the dumbest. I cannot see this being a win for the NHL even if he succeeds in this pursuit. There's only going to be degrees of losing for him. But also the Dolan family seems like equally arrogant, stubborn, moronic pricks. It's going to come down to who blinks first.
