---------------------------------------------------------------------- What does the Commissioner of the NHL do? In short, a league commissioner is the action man for the Board of Governors. They tell him what they want done and he works to make it happen through his subordinates while making sure that individual franchises play by the rules. ******** Translated if you haven't won the Stanley Cup in 40 years your NHL team is becoming irrelevant in a sports mad city long behind MLB, NFL and NBA teams, you just tell the commissioner(who you gave a new contract at 7 plus million per) to make it happen and the rules are bent sufficiently to action the command.

    if you sit with great unwashed some heckling cannot be a surprise! Not implying its acceptable but shouldn't come as a surprise!

    MT has done some incredible things in his "new " persona but his ice time and PP allocations supposedly based on performance except if you are DD , Max, Gionta is seriously flawed! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What does the Commissioner of the NHL do?

    Just so YAPPIERRE is not involved or even mentioned! The hue and cry will start with AC especially with Normand Flynn! That ship has sailed and got run up on the rocks! This team is supposedly built on character and self entitled crybabies are PNG! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What does the Commissioner of the NHL do?
