What absolute friggin' idiocy when trying to win back fans. Keep the Olympics AND All-Star Game and shorten the schedule a couple of games. The story:
NHL may cancel 2006 All-Star game
By Jerry Brown, Tribune

While it's almost a certainty the Phoenix Coyotes will be back on the ice at Glendale Arena for the the 2005-06 season, the NHL All-Star game may not.
NHL sources confirmed Thursday that if the league shuts down in February so its players can take part in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy — something the players are pushing hard for — the league would likely cancel the All-Star game and pass over Arizona in the game's rotation for several years.
