The plight of National Hockey League fans hasn't been lost on U.S. President Barack Obama

During an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Obama offered his opinion on the league's labour dispute.

"I just want to remind the owners and the players: you guys make money because you've got a whole bunch of fans out there who are working really hard. They buy tickets. They're watching on TV," Obama said. "Y'all should be able to figure this out. Get this done."
