The reason the ratings dropped is because we are afraid if we run into the dog on the way to the bathroom we might take a hooking penalty.
Hockey Ratings take a tumble

Here's what Bettman should do. First, start calling more penatlies because everyone loves to see goals scored on the power play. Special team battles are always exciting to watch. Second, do anything necessary to increase the number of goals scored because more goals equals more excitement. Third, get rid of fighting all together because when a fight happens no one cheers. Finally, get rid of physical play because no one really likes it and some people get injured.
I said from square one that the "new NHL" won't be successful and with these numbers and the attendence figures it looks like I am right. That being said I still think it's too early to judge it yet.

Didn't they just open an ABBA museum?! lol...I can't help but find that hilarious!!! Of course I do own their greatest hits so hey if I'm ever there I'll visit.
It's about freakin' time. Right now all they have is a corner at at the Music Museum in Stockholm.

It's the million channel universe
Or too many games on television, I'm undecided.
Last night for example, I had the Sens on Sportsnet the Habs on RDS and after the WHL against Russia on both.
But I'm feeling that in the digital, satellite world we live in now plus the games available via the internet ratings standards are due for a change.
How does me listening to one game on the radio and watching one game on TV affect ratings or using PIP to watch two games at the same time or watching/listening to game on the internet.
We don't live in a one TV per household world anymore and there are so many ways to access games.
I heard a rumour that NBC is about announce a long term deal with NHL. Okay via the "PRIME TIME SPORTS" show, so take it for what it's worth.
I happen to think that ratings standards are about to be adjusted be it sports, sitcoms, dramas or news, just because it's a very competitive media market right now. But with so many bidders, maybe just maybe prices will go up for the broadcast rights?
I refuse to be a Chicken Little about the NHL. Yeah there'll always be strong franchises and weak ones and border line ones. But if the D Rays, Marlins, Royals can survive I'm sure the Isles, Hawks, Blues will too. Just bing back my Expos

Expos!!!!! In 1994 they had the greatest team that never got to compete.
only 1 solution to solve this problem
tighter fitting unforms
No silly, the solution was the salary cap. Ratings are fine, attendance is fine, everyone can compete, all is well, anyone who tells you different is just a selfish, ignorant, apologist for Bob Goodenow.
Oh, my countries pride is at stake, I must defend
How is that defending? That just means Canadians live simple lives and hockey is the only thing there. Hockey is popular because it has no competition.
(CFL doesn't count. I mean major leagues.)

That, or hockey has no competition because it's so popular.
