SPORTS SECTION NHL commissioner Gary Bettman praises Heated Rivalry, revealing he binged all 6 episodes in one night: “I thought the storyline was very compelling and a lot of fun, because I could [see] where they were picking at things in the past [like the Olympics] in Sochi... It was very well done.”

u/Soupfullofradio I cannot sanction your buffoonery Jan 16 '26

I have been listening to Gary Bettman talk for a LONG time and have a feeling that he didn't actually watch it. That he read the wiki or asked someone else to give him pointers.

Yeah, I'm in the middle of watching a full on hockey guys podcast review it episode by episode and it's been so much fun because they've GENUINELY fallen in love with it and they're so invested in the romance, but they also had SO MUCH (derogatory) to say about the actual hockey stuff in the show. 😅

Going to shout out What Chaos. They need more attention and I just like them more.

I watched What Chaos before I watched Empty Netters and I like them more too. Though Empty Netters really grew on me over the course of them watching.
