Found this scene very interesting and powerful in the blackberry movie. The movie actually portrays Balsillie as being a bit too careless but also getting screwed by the NHL.

  1. Kind of sounded like Balsillie was bragging about screwing the NHL so they premptively screwed him. “I’m from Waterloo where the Vampires hang out!” was such a hilarious line. Great movie.

  2. The other massive reason why he didn’t get the team was that he couldn’t promise that he’d keep the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

  3. It’s a really good movie for anyone who’s just watching this scene and nothing else.
