Winnipeg really? Small building that's easy to sell out and a fan base that lost the team once and is still in the honeymoon phase since coming back. Also while the Canucks may have more twitter followers how many were bandwagoners from a few years back that have checked out as well the building has its share of empty seats these days. I don't buy they are better fans than Calgary and that will be proven in the coming years when they take a deep turn into mediocrity.
Can't argue with Edmonton's placing though as there is no good reason for anyone to show up to Oilers games and while empty seats are becoming more common it's taken the worst stretch in NHL history to get there. They are either really good fans or really stupid. I expect the truth is somewhere in between.
