If you're going back 2 decades why don't we also talk about how popular the NHL was 2 decades ago compared to now? Hockey has been the fastest growing sport in the US for the past 5+ years. They must be doing something right. I find today's NHL more enjoyable than when I started watching in 2001.
Just look at how close the playoff race is EVERY year now. It's playoff level hockey for the last 2 months of the regular season for 1/3 of the teams.
