from Jeff DiNunzio at Sports Central,
Last week, some dude most of us have never met wrote an obituary about the National Hockey League. Here’s the thing about writers: we all think our opinion is important. Sometimes it is; but usually it’s not. 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.
Although many readers’ comments boast the obvious — like one observed, “This story would’ve been more credible if it was written in 2006” — the truth is that Crowe’s “opinion piece” is shaky.

Here’s a suggestion that hasn’t been tried in a long time.... just leave it alone.

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?
He also cites the young talent as helping the hawks to get an attendance/interest boost ... what about the death of wirtz? the home games on tv for the first time in years?
Too bad ... i easily dismiss whole articles when i find areas that i think are absurd ... and this is an “ok” written article aside.
