No love for the commissioner: Gary Bettman gets boos aplenty after Game 7

VANCOUVER - Vancouver Canucks fans, unhappy at losing the Stanley Cup, were in no mood for Gary Bettman.

The NHL commissioner was loudly booed at the Cup presentation after the Boston Bruins defeated the hometown Canucks 4-0.

"Bettman Sucks" was the chant and the commissioner's words at the microphone were swallowed up in the din.

The commissioner, who has heard boo-birds before, did not seem fazed by the raucous reception.
