I don't know how popular baseball is anymore. I mean it's 3rd behind the NFL and the NBA. The NHL has never been popular in the US so how much did it reallyget hurt. Besides it looks like the NBA is looking at a lockout of it's own so if that happens the NHL has a good chance to make itself be seen if they do it right. I've said years ago that once widescreen HDTV become standard(and they are by the day ) the NHL will attact more fans. Trying to watch a game and a standard TV is no joy.
