Hockey Drops Dead -- You See Any Mourners At The Funeral?

ESPN.com contributor Ray Ratto says nobody really cares that the NHL season is officially dead. And nobody cared when it was on the brink, either. We'll now take bets on how many fans will come back whenever this lockout ends. When setting your odds, remember the 1994 MLB strike that blew up the World Series. Remember how NBC, CBS, and ABC have all dumped baseball coverage. And keep in mind those 'roids. The standard disclaimer: past performance is no indicator of future events, but they sure do help.
