"If it weren't for my desire to apologize to the club for the mistake, then there would probably have been total silence," Kuznetsov said. 'And so I went to Bettman's office with [NHLPA reps]. They told me, 'They can't punish you at all. Why are you coming here?' I answered that I had let people down. I should come at least look the person in the eyes, say this and that.'"
"I see that it seems to be a real moral teaching," Kuznetsov said. 'I say, 'No problem, I'm sorry, so and so. I came to you as a human being, on my own, without agents, without anything, I'm sitting alone.' Bettman says, 'I respect that, thank you, well done.'"
