How HAS the NHL done it?

Those of us who love hockey don't understand how the rest of the world doesn't. Anyone who watched last night's Wings-Pens game saw a great mix of skill, speed, violence and desperation. 2 great teams playing their asses off. Compare that to the typical NBA playoff game, where 8 guys stand around while one guy dribbles and another guy defends......how can you even compare it.

Yet the NHL is now less popular not only than the NBA, but NASCAR and even possibly soccer, which has much more TV exposure than the NHL. So, the question remains, how DID the geniuses in the NHL manage to keep so many people from falling in love with a great sport?
