Absolutely, an original six day would be a great addition to the NHL for many reasons. As you stated, tradition is obviously one of them. The NFL has the traditional Thanksgiving day games which draws viewers induced in a tryptophan/beer coma to those games. Why not apply the same thing to six originals? Make it a day to look forward to, hell, it doesn't even have to be a holiday, just give me a reason to drink and watch hockey! They could even put it on a baseball field, like the Winter Classic, for nostalgia.
