I think two things are going to happen over the next while that are going to tilt things back in the favour of sellouts:
1) this team, if it continues to play the way it has been, will bring the energy back to the Dome. I would say the last two games (Habs and Preds) were as exciting as any regular, back to back home games have been in a long, long time.
2) the announcement of a new arena (I know) will rejuvenate ST sales. As has been pointed out, the only reason the Oilers continue to sell out is that STHs want to retain their seats for the new building. That is normal, and will happen here as well.
