I knew that would happen. The same thing occurred after the 4 Nations Faceoff last year. Many casuals disappear as soon as the event is over.

I'll watch an entire gold medal us women's basketball game, and cheer if we win.
I wouldn't spend 30 seconds watching the wnba finals.
I have interest in the US hockey winning gold. And I watched. I have zero interest in watching NHL, so I didn't

Just in. More people watched the US play in the World Cup than the MLS championship game.
Do you feel stupid now?

Yeah, it didn't last that long after the 1980 gold medal either.
Should the US do well in Soccer I would expect any bump to be short lived as well.

All that tells me is that 5.9 million people watched a great series. Good for them!
The NHL is still healthy as a league. All hockey fans realize it’s not for everyone. But we don’t understand how people still think it’s some sort of exotic sport that no one loves. I mean, it’s been around more than 100 years. TV ratings aren’t going to sink it. Most of its revenue comes from ticket sales. Its salary cap keeps going up because the money keeps going up. What’s the problem?
