The NHL has gone from whiteouts to white noise in five months.

Just let us know when you fix it.

Until then, the conversation in cafes, bars, living rooms and offices that used to revolve around which side is more to blame has essentially made like Kristian Huselius and disappeared.

It has been replaced with apathy — the most dangerous fallout from all this.

Just imagine how all this is playing out south of the border, where, for the most part, the NHL has been ignored anyway.
