The NHL has seemed to lost a bit of its luster of the past decade or so. I’m guessing the last lockout did some of the casual and even more religious fans here in the United State.
Two nights ago the Tampa Bay Lightning won their second Stanley Cup in franchise history. Not sure exactly how much coverage it got but from what I looked into it was minimal.
In a way, I look at that as the first real sports causality this year in the U.S. A championship of it’s caliber deserves a little more attention than second page heading.
