Cut Down On Injuries - Cut Down On Exhibition Games

from Red Fisher of the Montreal Gazette,
Does it make sense to play more games at the expense of practices, which are conducted with an eye on avoiding injuries and are the best way to do it for coaches - particularly freshman bench leaders - to work at introducing new systems to their teams?
I don’t think so.
What I’m really saying is that since these players are merely human, the NHL will have to take a long, hard look at the number of games its assets play when their people sit down to prepare next season’s exhibition schedule - all the more so because the league will have to shut down for two weeks because of the winter Olympics.
