Now that the NHL is fining coaches and GMs for making critical remarks about the game, the first reaction is to roll one's eyes and say the speech police are out in full force, so much for democracy. But the truth is it's long overdue. This is a painful thing for any member of the media to admit. Inflammatory comments are welcomed and even encouraged. The more pointed, the better, we say, because it makes our jobs more interesting. Easier, too. But it is fair to say no sport has consistently run its game into the ground on a more regular basis than the NHL.
