Some fans won't return until the team is in the playoffs, that's the way some people are.
But I will say that even among casual hockey fans in Calgary, most people I talk to are aware of the teams surprising success this year and of the exciting up-tempo game. Ticket prices are still tough to swallow though.
Also, some others mentioned that Saturday's game had the LEAST amount of Oiler's fans they've seen in a while. Wasn't there so can't say myself, and it's anecdotal, but there it is. BOA games are always going to float around the 60-40 or 70-30 mark due to the proximity of the teams.
