Gary Bettman references Good Cop Bad Cop

“It’s a shame Gary Bettman can’t control what the agents say” – Allan Walsh

Allan Walsh has always taken great pleasure in denouncing the actions of National Hockey League (NHL) Commissioner Gary Bettman, and he recently did so again.

The decisions of officials have always caused a lot of debate. We got further proof of this in the duel between the New York Rangers and the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening. In overtime, Chris Kreider grabbed the puck after visibly tripping Elias Pettersson.

A few seconds later, the “Blue Shirts” scored the victory 4 to 3. Many people didn’t like this action, and so the players’ agent insulted Bettman on the X platform (formerly). Twitter).

Walsh said the 71-year-old called the league’s 32 general managers and head coaches to a meeting in Chicago to warn them against making publicly critical comments about officials.

But since the agent of Jonathan Huberdeau and David Perron, among others, does not belong to this group, he allowed himself to do this.

“It’s a shame Gary Bettman can’t control what the agents say. “NHL officials are a hot pile of trash,” he exclaimed in a post on X.

In short, we have to count on Walsh to continue challenging Bettman in the public square.
