Hockey was watched in the US in the 80s and 90s, but it was ruined by expansion (Thanks Bettman).. Expansion watered down the talent level, and guys who had no business being NHL players went to clutching and grabbing to slow the game down and this became a popular strategy for bad teams, but it was horrible to watch for fans.
