An ex-Canadiens figure seeks revenge against Gary Bettman, and it's a big deal
A revenge was noted in recent days against Gary Bettman, and it involves a former Canadiens associate.
Not just anyone: Michael Andlauer, the former co-owner and current owner of the Ottawa Senators. You must suspect it's significant.
In fact, the commissioner requested teams not to make major announcements on game days during the Stanley Cup Final, to give the final all the media visibility.
That's when 15 minutes before the 7th and final game, the Senators announced they had completed a trade with the Bruins.
If we remember, Bettman handed down a very severe punishment, removing a first-round pick from the Sens for the Evgeny Dadonov situation. It was an error of the previous administration, but the Sens still got penalized.
But they do say that revenge is a dish best served cold."

With the announcement of the Linus Ullmark trade 15 minutes before the national anthems, it took away some visibility from the 7th game, and Gary Bettman must have been very furious.
According to many, it's clearly a revenge move by the Senators.

One could say his move was successful. There shouldn't be any sanctions for this act, but you can be sure that the relationship between the commissioner and the Senators is probably not at its best.
