Gary Bettman is confronted by a fan and gets asked why he hates Canadian teams

It's still surprising to see that this Edmonton Oilers fan managed to get so close to Commissioner Bettman, but anyway, here's the scene in question.

It's currently making the rounds on the web.

You can guess that many fans are in the comments analyzing his immediate reaction.

Bettman glanced quickly at the fan and noticed the camera, then immediately turned away to ignore him. When the question was repeated, security stepped in, grabbed the fan's phone, and ended the interaction.

And you, do you believe that Gary Bettman really hates Canadian teams? Do you think he hopes for a Florida Panthers victory tonight?

When we look at his history regarding the return of the Quebec Nordiques since 2010, and when we look at the expansion teams he has awarded to American cities in recent years, it's hard to think that Gary Bettman appreciates Canadian markets as much as American ones.

We must also admit that it's fascinating to see how Canadian teams have completely stopped winning Stanley Cups since Gary Bettman became the NHL Commissioner.

Moreover, let's hope that this endless drought can end tonight! Go Oilers!
