If Gorton and Davidson were really fired for performance they would've been fired after the season. Bettman called Dolan to voice his displeasure with the situation. He didn't tell Dolan to clean it up (he didn't have to), but Dolan read between the lines and brought the hammer down. The league had to stand behind Paros' decision once it was announced, imo.
