NEW YORK -- The 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs are off to a record-breaking start on VERSUS, becoming the highest-rated and most-watched on cable since the 2002 Stanley Cup Playoffs on ESPN/ESPN2. Growth on national telecasts across North America and on regional sports networks in the U.S., along with triple-digit increases to video starts on NHL.com and page views on NHL Mobile, highlight the NHL's business momentum, further validating the NHL's strategy of engaging its fans through the creation of an ever-expanding hockey marketplace with multiple touch points.

Man, I remember the 2002 playoffs, LEAFS! It's great to see hockey is getting more popular every year. This is good for the game. I was afraid it didn't have enough fans compared to other major sports leagues.

Post-lockout pandemonium took a while to start up but now its finally taking shape. I'm happy that the sport is growing again and this will only benefit the league and its revenue
