The decisions made by the NHL are not always unanimous, especially since its commissioner, Gary Bettman, is himself pointed out more often than not.

However, some decisions are particularly intelligent and this was the case Friday night. Indeed, there was no game on the schedule. Some people think this is a failure, but it was actually a solid marketing move to create additional buzz.
"Not having games for one day is smart on the part of the NHL. There will be more excitement Saturday . I would do it several times a month if it's possible."
