Honestly, I don't think there is any bright side to this whole sad affair. I think that this is already bigger than just the Calgary Flames (and a disappointing season so far). I think this is likely just the beginning of a long, painful process in which the institutions of hockey in this country (and elsewhere) are forced to take a long, cold look at themselves.

EDIT: I managed to totally contradict myself because that process of self-reflection for hockey institutions may well be the bright side in all of this.
