Maybe but I remember sitting in a 1/3 empty building to see Iginla, Stillman, Savard, Morris, Regehr on the same team go out and try their best. Those guys were all good players that went on to fantastic careers and there wasn't an appetite then to see them go out there and try their best when the team stunk. Like I said I don't think it will ever get that bad again but attendance will drop.
