In this case, Sean Crowe — who, for whatever reason, refers to himself as SeanMC (are you a DJ?) — offered his take on the NHL’s demise, and argued that something must be done to resuscitate this mortal game. It’s true; the NHL has assassinated the last of its remaining prominence.

i understand the idea of contraction. don’t support it, but i understand it.
There is no way this guy is seriously suggesting that the league “evolve” towards losing an original 6 team, right? To contract Chicago?
