It absolutely is.   A significant part of the changes are designed to appease NBC suits and/or where a bargaining  condition with the NBC contract, which convienatly goes along with Bettmans Vitrue Manifesto, to make the NHL “more family friendly-prime time appropriate”, and go along with the Feminism “Woke” trend, to appeal to a mainstream audience.


As the data clearly shows, it’s not working, and if having the opposite effect.


If NBC doesn’t reup, or even bails out of this contract because of bad ratings, . . . heads should roll

Nor do most new fans. 


Besides, if physical play removed from the game would sell so well, the stands of rec leagues would be packed for  every 10pm Sunday night game wouldn’t they?


Also why doesnt college hockey get the same coverage as football or basketball?


And why doesn’t international hockey get almost any coverage?


The style of hockey the wanna push, simply does not sell
