Here's another article about Campbell (I never knew there was so much evidence out there.. how is this guy still employed?

Bettman’s email: “I have to give a speech tomorrow in toronto. Did you tell me that we had 35 concussions last year from hits to the head? How are you feeling?”

Yes…those were the numbers Kinger used. I am confirming those right now with Kris. We had a hit from behind last on Toronto (Kotsoplous on Van Ryn). Kotsopoulous received a 5 min penalty and kicked out of game.. Toronto scored. Van Ryan is a woos and soft but he ended up with a broken nose and broken hand. He should be penalized and suspended for putting himself in a bad position. We are having a hearing tomorrow for Kotspoulos.

This one gives you a glimpse how the NHL Corp. controls the media.. no wonder there is so little on air criticism of refs and suspensions. Just confirms what everyone knows.

5. Campbell reacts to comments from Brett Hull
This exchange between Campbell and an NBC producer might provide insight into how he and Bettman must have reacted every time Ron MacLean said something disparaging about the league on Hockey Night in Canada.
After Brett Hull said Campbell and Bettman are trying to remove fighting from the NHL, Campbell emailed Sam Flood, the producer, and he wasn’t complimentary to Hull.
How does the NHL react when a broadcaster says something they disagree with?

At least, at least have him talk to me before he says I and Gary want to get rid of fighting. Not the case at all. He can’t assume. I like the fact he has the balls (or is nuts) to say what he feels but UNLIKE Charles Barkley, he does not do his homework or is just plain dumb.
Flood’s response:
The call will be made from now will insist.
So much for the media being kept at an arm’s length.

There's a lot more emails in this article.. but they were screen shot images in the original article that seem to have been deleted or link broken..
