The NHL and players (mostly the players) blew it big time. They have lost their US TV deal, and lost the attention of the media and such in the US.
The players blew it really bad. Not only did they agree to what they said they would never agree to (salary capping) but have ended up having to agree to play for LESS than they were in the past. They got significantly less than they would have gotten if they had agreed to the league proposals earlier in the process when last season could have been saved.
LIstening to local talk radio today, I can tell you that probably 50% of the people are saying they will never go to another game, and the other 50% say they MIGHT go back, but mostly to laugh at the arrogant, spoiled children paid millions to play a child's game.
The NHL may never recover from this blow.
