Quote of the Day
As good as it is for hockey, it isn’t good if the NHL disappears for two and a half weeks, and we’ve got to strike a balance. ... I’m hoping that as we and the Players’ Association work together and demonstrate that this is good for hockey for us to be promoting the Olympics, hopefully the chains with which we are tied will loosen.
-- NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, on his hope that the league will be able to gain more highlight rights for Olympic hockey at future Games.
