I wonder how much of that is because geographically they're sandwiched between two of the most storied franchises in the league?
As much as I hate the Leafs, it's hard to argue that the Leafs and Habs have huge followings everywhere. By comparison, Ottawa has only been a franchise for 25 years; not nearly long enough to create generations of fans who grow up watching the games with their parents and grandparents.
Hopefully they get there eventually.
