It must be the playoffs because the NHL took a front seat on WFAN today, as commissioner Gary Bettman was in studio for a long mano-a-mano interview with radio hose, and Diet Coke and nap enthusiast Mike Francesa.
Right off the bat (because it’s always about New York), Francesa asked about the Islanders and their latest arena drama. Bettman was loose and conversational while hitting his usual talking points and adding precious little information for fans to latch on to. He was obviously very complimentary to owner Scott Malkin (with no mention of Jon Ledecky) and made clear that the team isn’t leaving New York.
