Unless your the Leafs or Habs, your days of sellouts and huge fan support are over if you were like the Flames during the Young Gunz era.

The thing is with Calgary and Edmonton, after Gary signed the labour deal in 94, these cities had no hope of being contenders, so the fans lost interest. Phoenix has never been in that position, their fans are just apathetic whether they win or lose or have hope for a future.
