Yeah the wind is nuts today . . . But, there is some great dubious humor when Bettmans gimmick of outdoor hockey gets affected by weather 🤣


Heh maybe they should only play the games in stadiums with retractable roofs? [size=78%]😆😆[/size]

Yeah, there’s no question he should start, it sucks for him that he’s in a slump, under scrutiny, on a big stage, on a faux rink with who knows what ice conditions and 20+ mph winds
