I just want to point out that my introductory comment to the piece regarding the Canada jokes should have been stated more explicitly. I think that Dupont makes interesting general points about the market for NHL hockey -- whether one agrees is another issue -- but that the disparaging remarks about Manitoba, Minnesota, and North Dakota are completely unnecessary (although reflective of a certain snootiness about the rest of North America that does exist in New England more generally).
