The NHL gambling scandal

scaeagles · 02-09-2006, 09:15 AM

Local news here in Phoenix has said it is "unclear" if it involved betting on hockey. I agree it is not as damaging if hockey was not bet on, but the poster child of the NHL involved with an illegal high stakes sports book with mob ties is still major, and I beleive would involve his removal as coach of the Coyotes, and would could also have other penalties.

Then again, Gretzky is likable, unlike Rose, so from a marketing standpoint they may not take harsh action.
