Paul Bissonnette has the perfect solution for NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman
Leave it to a former player to come up with the ideal solution for what ails the National Hockey League under Commissioner Gary Bettman!
He's one of the most polarizing sports executives in the country, and he's the one figure that fans of the National Hockey League love to hate.
NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, who has been in his position as the head of the League since 1994, has overseen a trio of work stoppages that have included losing the entire 2004-05 season.
Former NHL forward and current 'Spittin' Chiclets' podcaster Paul Bissonnette believes that he has the perfect solution for Bettman in order to make the product more enjoyable for the fans - reduce the amount of television timeouts.
Yes, they should, and I've said it before - if they don't do it, they're f-king idiots.
Enough with the TV timeouts. Reduce them. I think right now, we have three TV timeouts per period. Sometimes, the way they're scheduled, you'll have one, and then a minute and a half later, there's another whistle, and they go to another TV timeout. It's brutal. It's like going to an NFL game.
Oh yeah, but the commercials, the amount of money you make.' Buddy, make the intermissions a little bit longer. Give people more time to grab a beer. And then, when the game starts, you're f-king dialed in, and it's moving.
And then some people say, 'Oh, we don't come to watch the fourth liners. The breaks give the top guys more time to rest.' Shut the f-k up.

Who else agrees with BizNasty that the number of TV timeouts need to be reduced?
