While I may have agreed with you before this happened for Boston, I'm not so sure if I do right now. I think that if it started up again, people would watch and go to the games but most people that I've talked to haven't even missed it or thought about the Bruins. The only people that really seem to are the bar owners around the FleetCenter that have lost tons of business and my friends roomate who lost out on a job that he would have been offered had they been playing and the FleetCenter was making enough money to pay him and everyone else who's salary's they cut. After the seasons the Sox and the Patriots have been having, the other two teams kind of disappeared from a lot of peoples minds. But who knows, maybe I'm wrong and when they play again, the Bruins could have a ton of supporters still. I used to watch them more than I watched the Red Sox, and I barely think about them now, though. I haven't missed watching games at all.
