NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is not making any friends in Washington.
Bettman's response to a U.S. Senator's letter about the league's stance on concussions has irked Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal.
"It was very disappointing to me," Blumenthal told the Hartford Courant from the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia on Wednesday. "To me it demonstrates dramatic indifference (to the issue)."
Blumenthal wrote the NHL in June and asked the league nine questions about concussions and brain injuries such as chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), which was based upon an earlier discussion with Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president of health and safety.
