Ironic that it was against the Red Wings.

Attendance for the regular season was brutal though.
Same thing happened with the Calgary Cannons. Attendance dropped 25% in the final year after we knew the team was gone, but the final series was a complete sellout.
Phoenix would be a different issue, however. Pull the rug out right now, and people might just say "F it" rather than fall back on the nostalgia of a team they've only had 15 years.
