Just bugs me that the only reason most Canadian teams can't keep a lot of their players is the strength of the Canadian dollar, not the strength of their fan support. Even the Flames were selling out a lot of their home games, then Dallas can't even fill the house for game 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs?

If nothing happens in the new CBA or our dollar doesn't take a nice spike up soon, there's going to be some happy rich teams when they start picking Comrie, Smyth, Hemsky, Semenov, Brewer, et al off of the Oiler's roster when we just can't afford to pay them anymore.
