Bettman's tenure as NHL commissioner has come under heavy criticism by fans and the media. As the NHL commissioner or assistant, he oversaw work stoppages in 1992, 1994, and 2004. Four franchises declared bankruptcy (Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Ottawa, and Buffalo).
Bettman has also been accused of aggressively pushing the game into non-traditional markets at the expense of traditional ones in order to chase his dream of a major American television contract and to chase expansion money. This resulted in the league slowly losing its significance in the sports world.
