Hockey fan also, and it is kind of sad. But you figure a large portion of hockey's fan base is in Canada also, and this is just talking about America. That will skew the numbers quite a bit. On the bigger picture of it, I think it has to do with the fact its a one time event, which we were good at, and people didn't have to invest more than one night into "caring" about it. Even if it's only mildly interesting if your nation is going to win a world event you'll probably watch, look at the Olympics.
