A 50-game NHL season that starts after new year's is better anyway. Do shortened seasons ever impact fan interest (as long as its only the first half that gets cut as opposed to the second)? It seems more like everybody is happy the sport is back, and by the time that wears off, it's time for the playoffs. That's what it was like with the NBA recently I think (whose biggest problem was more that they tried to cram too many games in)
