I've drank from the Stanley Cup, post victory... so yes, of course I've "watch" a game let alone a full season.<BR/><BR/>The fact of the matter is that the NHL is failing in the United States, other than novelty games like last weekend in Buffalo. Sure there are some markets that thrive, but more are a losing proposition. Look at recent Cup winners like Carolina, Tampa Bay and Anaheim, all of whom have big problems drawing fans.<BR/><BR/>You know what? Go back and read my How To Save The NHL post and tune back in next Friday when I drop more NHL Knowledge on you.<BR/><BR/>Peace!E.
