NHL has to be nervous about TV ratings for the 2018 Playoffs on both sides of border

I think people who watch Jets games will keep watching because they play an exciting style, and can really adapt to any style of opponent.

Jets vs Nashville would draw people in. It should anyway.

Jets Preds would draw about 7 viewers.

Cool.

7 actual hockey fans will watch.

What about Washington and the Wilson angle? Every teams fans in the NHL want's him, I would imagine this would go over well.

Oh shit, I'm going to be counted as a fan when watching abroad.

The NHL is a regional sport, not national. Places like Columbus, Pittsburgh, San Jose will have a high TV viewership for their teams, but drive 1+ hours outside and no one will even know what hockey is. The league should be trying to expand local viewership because they'll never attract viewers from Alabama or Iowa.

In my view the viewers in Alabama don’t deserve hockey so long as they support that lying midget subhuman.
