Bettman's fantastically wonderful week

It was a good week for King Gary.

No. It was better than it. It was a fantastically wonderful week for the Supreme Ruler of the NHL.

It all started when Sidney Crosby won the Stanley Cup. Personally speaking, Gary was very much pleased when the Anointed One finally did something. Took him long enough, jeez. Just how long ago was the kid drafted? Four years ago now? Like they really had all day to wait for the Pittsburgh Penguins to win the Stanley Cup? It was getting to the point where Gary had to go and talk to the... uh.... talk to the secretary to find him some little stuffed Penguins for his kids. Yeah.... that was right... The kids loved the Penguins.

Anyway, that's pretty much neither here nor there now because the Anointed One did win the Stanley Cup and everyone could just go stuff it. Especially those pesky Red Wings.... Ugh... Gary took a lot of personal satisfaction from handing the Stanley Cup to Sid in front of all those Wings fans. A lot of personal satisfaction.

Of course the really good news came the other night. While Gary was busy re-watching the NBA NHL finals, he received news on his Blackberry iphone (he had broken his Blackberry last week - totally by accident of course), that the judge had rejected Balsillie's bid to move the team. The King literally jumped up and down around his office when the news arrived.

"YES! YES! IN YOUR FACE BALSILLIE! I WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN! YOU LOOOOOOOOSE!"

This continued on for a few more minuted before Gary got tired after so much physical exertion. He went back to his big puffy chair in his over-sized office and continued watching the NBA finals.

It was a good week for King Gary.
