If anything, I think you're underestimating just how quick the fans in Calgary are to embrace young players.

We haven’t seen 19000+ since the year after they made it to the second round. Obviously you can’t count the COVID years there, but our attendance doesn’t exactly make the case that fans care about anything but success.
