Gary Bettman has seriously messed up, according to many journalists, analysts, and fans of the National Hockey League.

This news has really caused a stir.
End of CapFriendly for Hockey Fans: A Missed Opportunity and Another Mistake by Gary Bettman
It proves once again how disconnected the commissioner can sometimes be from hockey fans.
He believes, and he recently reiterated, that fans are not interested in such things, that they do not care about player contracts and team salary cap situations.
This is completely false.
« The fact that Gary Bettman's NHL never bought out CapFriendly - a great, informative website universally loved by hockey fans - is another embarrassing chapter by the 4th biggest league in North America.»

Many Montreal Canadiens fans have commented on the news, and most of them agree with «HabsOnReddit.»
The loss of CapFriendly is a significant blow and opens the door for more announcements of this kind.
In the end, the biggest losers will once again be the hockey fans.
