In a delightful twist that has fans buzzing, Gary Bettman, the NHL commissioner, recently admitted to binge-watching all six episodes of“Heated Rivalry”in one night. Yes, you heard that right! The typically serious Bettman found himself glued to this steamy series and even praised its quality and compelling storyline. He noted the show’s clever references to real-life NHL moments, from Olympic highlights to All-Star games, which likely hit home for hockey fans everywhere.
Despite his glowing review, Bettman urged caution in declaring“Heated Rivalry”as official NHL programming. It’s clear this series sparks particularly spicy themes that could make some folks at the league reconsider full endorsement. Nonetheless, the image of Bettman, remote in one hand and popcorn in the other, engrossed in a hockey drama late into the night is too good not to chuckle about!
Whether you own a jersey or just enjoy drama, Bettman’s late-night viewing habits offer a charming glimpse into a side of the commissioner we rarely see. Perhaps he’s set a trend for NHL executives to cozy up with their own favorite sports dramas. Which show should we expect the next NHL leaders to binge-watch?
