It's on versus in the US. The one positive thing about that is VS wants the NHL. They do pregame and postgame and their broadcasting is pretty decent.

ESPN didn't really care about the NHL. It's there to fill a time slot basically. ESPN has programs that are much more popular, so I don't blame them.

You are right though. Every sports bar will show ESPN, so if there happens to be a hockey game on, all the people in the bar will be watching hockey. If you want to watch hockey now in the states, you have to search for it because no bar will be showing VS and nobody knows what the hell the channel is.
