The team will always draw fairly well regardless of what happens after Ovie is done. It's like basketball in Toronto. It's become a staple to the community.

Washington is also a town that has a shitload of transplants because of the federal government, and the 3 NYC teams, Pilly and shitsburgh fans are close enough to travel easily

You may be right and that will wear on the fans rather quickly since they've now tasted a Cup. Post Ovie, if this team isn't built to win, they won't draw flies.

Damn right, it’ll take a few seasons to move the big contracts, and/or replace Ovies production with a couple players if they don’t change systems/philosophy.
On the other hand, to be a complete selfish narcissist, I’d love of a large portion of the post 2005 fans left. Pre 2005 games at The Booth felt more like real hockey. Smaller, smarter, crowds, cheeper better beer, can call the Hens a bunch of faggots,(as a I would in the privacy of my home), and have those around you join in instead of calling security.
