Top Ten Reasons Why.......

[MXHockey]

Gary Bettman Called a Two Week Break:


10) He wants to get a head start on his Christmas shopping, and wanted to buy himself a new hair piece.

9) He got a discount on two weeks of couple's counselling (one week with Daly, one week with Fehr).

8) When they crossed paths at the pool, Crosby told him to go work on his tan. Gary said Crosby's comment 'cut really deep', so he booked a vacation.

7) He's working on an offer to buy the Phoenix Coyotes with his new partner Jim Balsillie.

6) Gary needs to prep for an upcoming job interview: KHL Commissioner. His goal in life is to make sure Ovie gets locked out no matter where he plays.

5) Gary said he's tired of feeling shorter than Tom Cruise, and needs some time to break in his new pumps.

4) It's not a break, Gary is actually holding out for more money, so the owners locked him out.

3) Gary needs to work on his lines for his upcoming cameo on.........The Muppet Show.

2) He's in hiding from Chris Chelios, Jeremy Roenick, and Luke Skywalker.

1) He's been busy and needed some time to start planning the 2013-2014 NHL lockout.
