No Harm Done
While the scandal-like atmosphere of the alleged gambling ring involving Rick Tocchet has simmered down, it has not completely faded away.
From a CP story yesterday:
Despite the NHL’s ongoing investigation into an alleged gambling ring, commissioner Gary Bettman says the affair has not damaged the league’s reputation.
“What’s becoming increasingly clear - and it was from the outset - is that this had nothing to do with hockey,” Bettman said Tuesday. “It has nothing to do with the integrity of our game.” In February, New Jersey state police accused Phoenix Coyotes assistant coach Rick Tocchet with being a partner and financier of an alleged gambling ring.
Continuing on with the “was it related to hockey” theme, he added:
“nothing new or dramatic which would any way implicate our game has been uncovered, and I think the conventional wisdom is, if it had anything to do with our game, we would have got some inkling of that by now.”
