So my FB buddy just posted this video showing Bettman shoving this kid aside. Apparently when the Canucks where going to make their

selection, they were going to allow this kid to announce it. Bettman steps and and grabs the kid by the arm and shoves him to 1 side lol;

This. I don't like Bettman either, but it seems clear that Bettman was going to let the kid speak or was perhaps joking about it, but then either Benning said no, or Bettman realized that the kid didn't realize that he was joking.

 

Painting this as Bettman being the bad guy is a little too biased, IMO.

nah they were surprised when bettman grabbed his arm suddenly as the kid went for the mic, it was obvious that that's

what the intent was otherwise why was the kid headed for the mic. Then Buttman cuts him off at the pass and shoves

him a step or two to stage left.

I saw that and was gonna say something. It looked like Jim gave Little Gary a look that was interpreted as something it wasn't.

 

Jim gave Bettman the wrong look at the wrong time and GB took the kid out.

Yeah maybe eh? I get why people think that Bettman asked the kid to go too, its just why is no one heading for the mic? No one seems

surprised when he heads over. Still tho no excuse to shove the kid like that lol. If your going to shove kids its fine btw, just not on camera

haha kids need a shove now and then, sometime for their total benefit, but not like that.

Oh god. Are you serious? U can see bettman guiding him to the Mic before benning and some other dude look at the kid saying no. That's when bettman guided him away. 

 

This Bettmen hate is sooooooo blown out of proportion.

Looks like Bettman motions the kid towards the mic thinking they were gonna let him announce it then Benning says no. A little dramatic people, come on. I dislike the guy as much as some of you but lets no paint a "he bullies kids" angle on him. Like the click bait title suggests.
