?
Now that the Winter Classic has been cancelled, a question: Is the NHL, and I mean the league and players together, actually suicidal? After the last work stoppage the NHL was booted from ESPN, which now seems to go out of its way to ignore hockey altogether, and returned to being mostly a regional sport (Upper Midwest and Northeast) after making national gains. I'm not sure the league can afford to lose another season. Sure, people in Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, New York, and Alaska will come back, but will anyone else care? If they can't figure it out real soon they might as well stop bargaining because there will be nothing left to save.

Apparently I used the British "cancelled" versus the American "canceled." Must be too much Top Gear and Doctor Who.
Wait, you're saying that a union-based labor dispute can be blatantly and idiotically self-destructive?
Maybe they can get a government bailout.
