The game is fine. That isn't what needs to changed. Its how it is marketed for one. On the other, they need to help and grow grass roots hockey in area's like Nashville or Pheonix. We hear that minor hockey has taken off in Dallas since the Stars won the cup. The only reason that hockey is so popular in Canada. Is becasue we grow up playing it and watching it and we understand it. If the NHL wants to fly in the states. It needs to start at the grass roots level and get the kids interested in playing. If may take a decade or two. But it will be well worth the return.
