Bettman Tells Lowe and Burke to Cease Their Comments

TSN is reporting that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman spoke with Kevin Lowe and Brian Burke via conference call and ordered them to cease their bickering.

A few days after Edmonton Oilers’ Kevin Lowe fired back at rival GM Brian Burke, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman tried to pour water on the feud of the two rival team executives.

Following comments by Burke over the past year and comments Lowe made recently to an Edmonton radio station, Bettman ordered the two to cease and desist in a conference call Monday.

Illegal Curve is of the opinion that, while these outbursts were entertaining, it is time for both parties to move on.
