[NextBigThing]

In America NFL are biggest sport. Basketball are probably second. Hockey are probably third.

No chance hockey is third. NFL, NBA, MLB, college football, college basketball, golf, WNBA are all ahead of NHL.

NHL , a league supposedly part of the major 4, having there opening games get beaten out by the wnba is absolutely embarrassing no matter how you spin it.

If the NHL can't exist in a market where more than four professional sports leagues are popular, then it's time for the NHL to just fold up. It's over.

Obviously, that's absurd, it's totally fine to be beaten by WNBA games and NBA preseason games and Mexican soccer games. All of that can happen and the NHL can be fine simultaneously
