As for the attendance, last year, despite icing a crappy team, they were right neck and neck with the Rangers in terms of attendance. It was the Islanders that were dead last in the area in attendance, drawing a horrible 13,000 average. I hear far more about the Devils attendance woes than I hear about the Islanders or Dallas or Colorado....

It was a shorten season coming off a Stanley Cup Finals appearance. The Islanders, already relocating, are coming off 5 straight playoff misses, Dallas missed the last 4 and the Avs iced the worst team Colorado has seen.
If the Devils have trouble getting 15,000 in a full season when they are Stanley Cup favourites like in the early 2000s what's going to happen when they go on a couple years drought?
