I think it is going to take a pennant run for Toronto to come back. The down years took a toll, and it will take something big to get consistently large crowds again.
Same as the Flames - it took the run to get the Dome sold out every night again.
And I too worried about overpaying for BJ Ryan. But it sure is a nice feeling to see him coming in from the pen with a lead.
