While it's easy to put the focus/blame on the City or the owners, at some point it would sure be nice if the NHL started looking at the way it does business as well. The revenues in this league simply don't match the expenses. What other business pays so much money to its employees, but can't afford to pay rent?

Then again, if there's no incentive to pay for your own infrastructure, why bother changing it.
