HedleyLamarr Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Nothing against Gretzky's family members, but I hope the Commissioner doesn't make it a habit of kissing Gretzky's butt by sending out "statements" saying how various family members of Gretzky had an integral part of what the NHL is today. Would Bettman do the same if, say Tie Domi, has a parent or grandparent die? Like hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
