Another spot-on comment:
What the NHL did on Bettman's watch is equivalent to NASCAR abandoning its roots down South, moving its races indoors, implementing a 75-MPH speed limit and disqualifying drivers who get into an accident because it's too violent for soccer moms and Michael Moore.
Again, putting aside the specifics of the lockout and league finances, this is a completely inarguable description of the product. The Stars have been an exception, certainly, but there were more than a few nights their success came from watching-paint-dry-hockey.
