Bettman Takes the Mic in Buffalo

NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman steps up to the podium at KeyBank Center, where the air's thick with playoff buzz and Sabres faithful hanging on every word. You know these pressers - Bettman doesn't show unless there's something brewing, whether it's expansion whispers or league business that could shake up the East. Front-office types are glued to their feeds, because whatever drops here ripples straight to the trade wires and beyond.
