    Gary Bettman and Stephen A Smith in the same room together is something I never thought I’d see.
  • @PoohShimmy
    A WHOLE hockey segment on First Take. Is this the twilight zone???
  • @thanos2588
    The man that dismissed the Rangers as a major sports team is now talking to the commissioner like he’s a fan. Stephen A Clown
  • ESPN needs to spend more time on hockey outside of the playoffs. Nobody wants to admit it but McDavid is the best player in all 4 major sports, dude is just that good.
  • @zigfield723
    I have a a feeling we are about to witness an even higher level from McDavid. That tough loss last night yet they absolutely outplayed the Kings, his inner fire will be burning as hot as the sun. Let's go Oilers!!
  • oh my god, hockey on First Take....this is insane. I thought I was still asleep when I saw this. Hopefully more to come in the future.............
  • I really should try to get into Hockey more, it can be excited. I don’t think I’ve watched it for an extended period of time, the playoffs do look exciting though
  • @bencarter8423
    When Stephen A mentioned liking the "big dog team", I would have mentioned that the NHL had that back in the day. They were called the Montreal Canadians.
  • @ryanamyx5112
    You know stephen a knows nothing about hockey when he actually interviews his guest instead of screaming nonsense into his mic for 10 minutes
  • @caper087
    NHL needs to be on first take more often… especially with the playoffs it’s so compelling!!
  • The spectrum is different for every sport. The moment Basketball is not about stats such as points per game and more about team success it will be at the top. Hockey is a team sport. The objective is team success. All the NBA focuses on is individual success, on and off the court. Player brand rather than league brand.
  • @souls4borne
    Why not ask him the important question of making the nhl playoffs 1 vs 8 seed format instead of this unfair format which is ruining the game.
  • @zh_69
    hard to believe it but I think I like Gary more after this interview
  • @yengvang8737
    NHL playoffs are something special. You can't hate on that.
  • @habappy
    No sport has benefitted more from Hi-Def Big Screen TV than hockey. Add in that USA hockey has steadily risen since the Miracle on Ice so that today it is indisputably the #2 international power (coming for you Canada!), and the future of the NHL is bright.
