Fighting in the NHL is up 20% this season: ...are the ratings also up 20%?

My team is mediocre at best, but number two in the league in PIMs. I'm watching more hockey than ever.

86: A good deal of those PIMs came during the last Islanders v. Rangers game - even Alexi Yashin got in on the fighting, and proceeded to pummel Thomas Kloucek while Mariusz Czerkawski held Kloucek's arms behind his back. Good bye Lady Byng! I'm an Isles fan, and I'm afraid of what's going to happen to Yashin for breaking Kloucek's nose like that...

To quote the honorable Clubber Lang... "My prediction? Pain!"

Last I heard, ratings were the same, if not worse... ...then again, my team fights the least, so I haven't noticed the increase.
