Gary Bettman's shocking statements live from Colorado

Before the Stanley Cup Grand Final between the Colorado Avalanche and Tampa Bay Lightning began, Gary Bettman held his traditional press conference.

First of all, he announced that the National Hockey League has achieved record revenues this season with 5.2 billion dollars.

It will be two to three years before the payroll is increased.

Then the regular schedule will start on 11 October.

Afterwards, the National League announced that the All-Star Game will be played in Florida.

Regarding the Nordiques, Minister Éric Girard had the opportunity to meet Wayne Gretzky during his last visit to the NHL offices.

Regarding Evander Kane's contract, the hearings are expected to extend beyond July 13, the opening of the free-agent market, because no neutral judge is available in June. And that will hurt the Sharks.
