Bullshit! The Islanders can still beat the Rangers, even if it is a shootout.

Yeah but the Rangers suck.

The Rangers are currently ranked 8th in the conference (out of 15) and 17th in the league (out of 30) so if half of the NHL teams suck, then you are correct. I mean not everyone can be Penguins. (Say it fast and you know why Peng Wins!)

I dont think you mean the sport, maybe the league? Hockey is big in Russia and Canada (two largest countries in the world) plus Usa, Europe, Scandinavia, and Japan throughout the previous century. This pretty much makes it available in half of the world. The rest of the world isnt interested in hockey because it is too cost ineffective to build hockey rinks and provide the service due to the geographical constraints.

No I mean the sport, obviously television makes the league accessible to the entire globe but what's the point of watching a game you've never played and never can play? You hockey fans can never answer this question. I do enjoy the fights but there's boxing if I want to watch that sort of thing

Your logic can be extended to so many sports then. What about biathlon, cross country skiing, snowboarding? Most of the world does not have the possibility to promote those sports yet they are part of the Olympics. The only sport that you can safely say is accessible to all of the world is football (soccer) because all you need to play that is a field and a ball.
To answer your question, there is no point of watching a game you have never played and never will play but hockey is not broadcasting for people like that. There is a specific market segment that is interested in hockey and they are the ones that demand it and watch it. I don't think anyone places hockey as one of the global sports but that doesnt make it any less irrelevant. It's not curling.

I think it's a lot more irrelevant than most of you have deluded yourselves into thinking. The best athletes in the world don't have ice rinks in their neighborhood

Yet the highest salaries are in sports that are not cosidered to be violent but rather prestige (ex:golf)

There are no "salaries" in golf.
Golfers get their money from sponsors (advertisements) and prizes for actually winning games.
