"There already have been 422 regular-season games lost through Dec. 14 because of the lockout, and the latest cuts on Day 86 of the league shutdown claimed an additional 104. The NHL previously called off the New Year's Day Winter Classic, as well as the All-Star Game."
"In all, the 526 lost games account for nearly 43 percent of the regular season that had been scheduled to begin Oct. 11."

So a professional sports league that still hasn't completely recovered from its last complete lockout season during '04-'05, is just making itself even more irrelevant to casual sports fans, as well as angering and frustrating its more hardcore and avid followers. :no:
C'est la vie...
