Continued..
Insurance conservatively lost about $10M (including salary and gate) on Crosby alone.
The salaries are now so high..the business model no longer works.
There are presently 160+ players off right now with various injuries..some day to day..some season ending or worse..all making in the millions and all getting paid by insurance..
NBA is similar.
NFL and Baseball can get away with it because through their media revenues they can develop their own insurance pool
..NHL and NBA cant.

@zeroceiling Based on your inability to distinguish "its" from "its" - or use question marks - or add "s" to words to make them plural - or capitalize when appropriate - and several other items, yes, it is clear that you are of exceptional intellect. For 4th grade, anyway.
@shredr18 1) he's not chinese he's japanese. 2) he's canadian. 3) he was a great hockey player. get your facts straight before you start talking shit.

It's very similar to Rome vs. Horton....but I'd say Stevens hit Kariya earlier than Rome hit Horton. Stevens had Kariya lined up loooong before he dished the puck. Rome saw he was going to get beat by a speedy Horton in flight. He could have decided to tie him up and take a penalty. He went for the hit, presumably figuring it was the "legal" way to avoid an odd-man rush. If Horton sees him coming and braces for the hit, I don't think the refs would even call a penalty.
