NHL/LNH : lousy on and off ice.

Slowly but surely, general managers come to confess it :

Salary cap = no trades = no media attention.

Slowly but surely, general managers come to admit it :

Their on-ice product attracts only a few Canadian die-hards ; league visibility shall be achieved through off-ice action :

Give me trades,

Give me more Bertuzzi-Moore trials,

Give me fights, give me controversies, give me doping scandals, give me more stupid expansion plans, give me anything short of a lock-out (though...) so the NHL get media coverage.
