I think the game will grow whether the NHL is there or not.
Lets be honest in terms of Olympic goals the Peter Forberg goal in 1994 was just as epic as the Crosby goal in 2010.
A goal that was capture on Swedish stamps, that has carved out an entire generation that use that same move in the shootout.
