Flyers fan crashes Gary Bettman’s media scrum, confronts commissioner on NHL lockout

[doniceage]

Jaymes Hall is a 41-year-old resident of Lancaster, Pa. He rocks a thick goatee, dark-rimmed glasses and a well-worn hat, looking very much like a guy you'd expect to see sitting in the cheap seats at a hockey game.

Hall is, in fact, a hockey fan — of the Philadelphia Flyers — and a frustrated one at that. Which is why he decided to pay Gary Bettman and Donald Fehr a visit on Wednesday — and ended up in a tense, public chat with the NHL commissioner.

The NHL and the NHLPA were meeting in Manhattan, another in a seemingly endless series of negotiations during their lockout. According to the New York Daily News, Hall was in town visiting family, and decided to take his sons to NHL headquarters on 6th Avenue where the sides were meeting.

Bettman; "You aren't credentialed media" Like they know anything......

What a turd.

Great retort; "No I'm a Fan"

Glad to see someone said something. I am surprised Gary addressed him at all, if this were Goodell or Stern, they would have probably just walked off.
