Call me a homer, but I really can't see how the Sabres Fans are ranked #27.

We continue to have the highest ratings for ANY game shown on TV, and almost every game is sold out, despite never winning a Cup and being in last place this Season.

Interesting...I would have thought a Canadian team or two would have been top5.

This is a new Donald Sterling initiative?

That was my first thought as well, for all the reasons you already mentioned.

It sure seems to favor the size of the market rather than loyalty.

If it were straight loyalty, I'd think Buffalo, Toronto, Boston, and a few others would top the list. #eastcoastbias

It's a bad relationship, the Sharks keep abusing their fans and for some reason the fans keep coming back and saying we love them. An intervention may be needed.

Bluez?

I wonder how loyal their fans would be if they started charging closer to the average nhl ticket price

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Jets fans least loyal ????

Was this list compiled after they sold out 5 years (in advance) worth of season tickets?

What the heck is this list? What in the world could they use to figure this out? Congrats Hawks fans, you have the best team of the past five years and therefore buy a lot of merchandise and sell out games! Sabres should be #1 in the US, behind pretty much every Canadian team.

The more I read the list, the more I realize it's not the ORM. Because if it was the ORM it would have rated "Vinny Damphousse" as fifth in fan loyalty.

I think this is just a fluff piece for the IAEN.

Umm chicago is far from most loyal. Ticket prices are going for under face value tonight. Half the town doesn't give a shit again
