Belichick Pops Up at Cup Final - Bettman Brought a Guest

Bill Belichick showing up at Stanley Cup Final Game 1 is the sort of crossover that makes the league’s ballroom circuit feel even more like a private club. According to the setup here, he is there as a personal guest of Gary Bettman, which adds a little more juice to a night already thick with hockey politics and star power. The commissioner does not hand out those seats lightly, and that alone makes the appearance worth a second look.
