There's a lock-out because teams can't afford to pay the players' salaries due to a decrease in team revenue. The TV contract is shit. And ticket sales are in the dumper, even in traditional NHL hotbeds like Chicago.

So yes, there isn't a strong enough fan base to keep the NHL alive in its present state. People care. Just not enough.
