Same thing happened in 94 when they lost. And in 93 in Montreal when they won the cup.
You woulda thunk there was a basketball game going on or something

Basketball? Do people still play that?

I thought Bettman destroyed that sport before he came to the NHL.

NHL is lucky to even be in existence in the USA.

Only in the south. And nobody important gives a fuck about the south anyway. Once again, you've got an opinion, but its the wrong one.

In the northern USA, Hockey is second in viewers only to football, except for NY and Boston, where Baseball is king.

I was actually just looking at sports viewership stats across North America in one of the news papers here for the whole of North America. It was pretty interesting actually.

Careful! Nobody NEEDS hockey. It's just an image. If people who watched hockey didn't care about image, they would stick to curling.

I was talking about the strike. NHL was lucky to recover from that. A decent channel didn't even want to show the playoffs for awhile afterward.

Don't forget to add the west USA. Teams failing out there too.

It's pretty much just a northeastern/central thing.

I wonder what the viewership would look like if you threw in March Madness. There are a ton of good teams in the northeast that get huge viewership numbers. These are basketball fans that aren't exactly in love with the NBA. NCAA hockey viewership is pure shit, so I doubt it would make a dent.
