en People think of Porta Bella as being a fine dining restaurant, but I don't think so. Are we more than casual? Sure. We have a romantic atmosphere and intimate seating. But our menu is classic Italian with a lot of new, creative Italian dishes.

en The hockey people didn't show up. (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman is a smart man. I just think they're unaware of the risks and dangers out there for athletes.

en At the league office, Bill Daly recently saw his compensation double from just below $1 million to just under $2 million (as he was promoted to deputy commissioner after our new CBA was finalized) and it is anticipated that Gary Bettman's compensation will increase from its current level of $3.5 million per year.

en If I bet on sports ? I would never embarrass Team Canada or the country or hockey ? I would phone (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman and Bob Nicholson right now and say you know what, I resign, it's over, even if I made a $1 bet.

en This is what we think is missing in New York City. A luxurious and comfortable Italian restaurant expressing everything we know about Italian culture in a slightly rarefied atmosphere. The food is to be elegant and simple without losing the essential heart of the Italian purity. As a gastronomic experience it's everything I have to offer.

en . . . gastronomical perfection can be reached in these combinations: one person dining alone, usually upon a couch or a hill side; two people, of no matter what sex or age, dining in a good restaurant; six people . . . dining in a good home. As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own.

en (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman has done such a good job making us look bad and that really pisses me off. Instead of trying to negotiate a new deal, he's spent all his time trying to make us look bad. He knows where we stand. He doesn't want to negotiate. We want to negotiate. We made an offer and nothing has happened.

en Edna was greatly admired in the loftiest food circles. I once took her to the Four Seasons restaurant in New York. People fell all over her. Edna was renowned.

en We gave in on the salary cap, the biggest issue. It seems to me that once we've done that, once we've agreed on the philosophy, we should be able to work out other things. Never in ( Gary Bettman 's) tenure as commissioner, as far as I know, was arbitration or free agency as big an issue as the salary cap. But now, it seems like we got the biggest hurdle out of the way and it only made it harder.

en We've given (the owners) well-thought-out proposals and ( Gary Bettman is) not willing to negotiate. What we've gotten back is just ridiculous. We presented a proposal with hundreds of pages of fine details. What we got back is six concepts and the longest one may have been 230 words and some were 30 words. You know what that is? That's no effort. (Bettman) is not being serious.

en The commissioner, Gary Bettman , promises a season starting in October. If that means replacement players, I don't like it. The real players, I think, won't cross the line. You know hockey guys, how proud they are, how united. But in Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, they'll fill the buildings, even for replacements. Fans are mad. They want hockey. Other cities, I'm not sure.

en [Commissioner Gary Bettman , in an online chat with fans, said that reaching a new collective agreement with the players] is not about compromise. It's about doing the right thing to ensure that the game and the franchises are healthy. ... It's unfortunate that [he] does not see compromise as the way to get a deal done. That attitude is what has prevented us from having any meaningful negotiations that can lead to a fair deal for both sides. It is disturbing that their only response is to say they have all the solutions and there can be no compromise.

en A lot of these people I'm traveling around the country and meeting speak Italian at the house. Third- or fourth-generation, and they're still speaking Italian.
