1. Premier hockey league in the world, playing host to the greatest talents to ever hit the ice. 2. Also, the NHL is in big trouble with the pending CBA.

The National Hockey League: The premiere league for the greatest sport on earth. No, the NHL does NOT lack fan interest. Since the salary cap has been instituted and new rules have made, the league has become less of a goon sport and more of an action/excitement sport. The NHL is slowly increasing in popularity whereas the NBA is losing popularity.

NHL: "new hockey league" because that is what will be needed in order for the hockey to continue on this planet
owner: I was paying you 1 trillion dollars before the lockout. I have now figured out that I cannot afford to pay you that much so how about I pay you a little less than a trillion.
player: No way, I want 2 trillion please
