How difficult it is for the NHL to fit in an Olympic break? Start the season a couple of weeks early and compress the playoffs a bit so we don't have to wait 3-4 days between games?

Also about the league arguing that the Olympics will kill the TV viewer momentum, the NHL can make a deal to dictate the game time for the Olympics so that it will be prime time in North America, doesn't matter where in the world the game is played.
