Is hockey dead in the USA?
Well, at least the NHL is, according to the Freep today.
Here's your weekly depressing television statistic regarding hockey: ESPN's "Bowling Night," on which athletes from various team sports compete against one another, is drawing an 0.7 rating on ESPN and 0.4 on ESPN2. Those numbers are similar to what the NHL playoffs drew after 46 games last year. Incidentally, the bowling is replacement programming for what would have been the NHL playoffs this spring.
