Scot, I'm not saying that JR said the right thing, certainly not the most politically correct thing, but when it all comes down to it I don't think his comments actually offended anybody enough to impact whether they go back to hockey or not.
That being said, in places it will be hard to bring hockey back, Carolina, Florida, Los Angeles etc., but I know for certain that Minnesota is prepared and the Wild have been working all winter to keep their fan base. They sent out "No hockey survival kits" etc., and its just too big of something to let go here. If they make the right rule changes or whatever, I think it will be similar to where it left off. We'll see though, I think this new agreement should help the game as a whole in a lot of ways. If the owners aren't losing money, I see a better product.
