For those that are not in the Northeast or Wisconsin or Minn, there is almost no one that even knows the playoffs are going on.

One of the reasons many teams are broke, which confirms your assessment of Gary Bettman, was the ridiculous expansion that the NHL did during the time the game was dying due to the neutral zone trap, which was developed to allow less talented teams to be competetive (which was directly due to expansion)... all this ties together!
