I'm not surprised. I cant watch any games if it doesn't include the Flames, and often even those are a drag. Hockey went from being my only sport to now I just follow the Flames out of nostalgia cause I've done it so long.
Let's be honest. The product sucks. Everything's a penalty. There's zero emotion. I miss big hits and fights, and rivalries. Nowadays it's like watching International hockey, which I guess is some peoples thing, but definitely not the masses. The direction the NHL has gone to try and obtain these American fans has caused me to lose my love for it. And then low and behold the same Americans fans apparently feel the same way by watching less and less, so its kind of a kick to the dick tbh.
