Actually, it isnt surprising. The WHL, like many junior and minor leagues, often sees much smaller crowds in the early rounds of the playoffs than in the regular season. No group sales, and season ticket holders often drop for the post season. Midweek game, and the embarrassment of being an Edmontonian, knowing you are going to lose to Calgary.
Definitely a dissapointing crowd though.
This is one of the reasons why the Hitmen actually sell season tickets as a 38 game set rather than 36. Guaranteed good crowds for their first two playoff games.
