The NHL is just a very homer league. For the average fan once their personal team is out they stop watching and honestly I'm guilty of that myself this year too. No Chicago, NY, Boston means ratings will be lower as those markets aren't watching. I don't think it's really cause for concern especially when it is partially a result of that strong emotional investment (like hating a team too much to watch them potentially win).

It hasn't helped since the beginning of the playoffs that there's been no Canadian teams either. Canadian viewership was down 61% for the FIRST round. I can imagine it's only gone down since.

That's a large chunk of the NHL's viewership gone, right there.

I really hope that will put to bed some of the idea that Canadians are such a good hockey market they'll watch anything, especially when used against American cities for being "bad."
