Gary Bettman Needs To Take A Chill Pill


NHL Forces Vancouver 'Green Men' To Stop Touching Glass, Doing Handstands In Effort To Remove All Fun From Games

Are you kidding me?!? I'm not a fan of the Vancouver Canucks, but I freaking love the 'green guys'. For you non-hockey people out there, the 'green guys' are two Canucks fans dressed head-to-toe in green spandex who sit next to the penalty box and torment penalized players from the opposing team.

I don't understand what the big deal is. It's not like they're physically harming the players or the fans around them. It's just good, clean fun. Way to be a killjoy, Bettman.

  1. Couldn't agree with you more. The whole idea behind sports is supposed to be for fun and entertainment, which is what the Green Men are doing. Like you say, no real harm is being done. Next thing you know, Bettman will be telling fans to stop booing players for the fear of hurting their feelings. Ridiculous. I support the antics of the Green Men!

  2. I suppose in a STRETCH I could MAYBE see them asking them to keep their hands off the glass, but to stop their antics? GET OVER YOURSELVES NHL!!!!

  3. They don't care if the people sitting on the front row are banging on the glass all night so I don't even see what would be so much more unsafe about the Green Men touching the penalty box glass. First Bettman tries to outlaw Detroit's octopi and now this. Geez. God forbid that any fanbase should do something unique.
