When I lived in Ottawa, and attended the games, it was really annoying when Toronto or Montreal came into town.

Remember that these teams have had a century to create rabid fans. Montreal perhaps more so with all their teams (AAA's, Maroons etc). The Leafs inherited the Saint Patrick's fans.

Ottawa, on the other hand...I doubt any fans are left from the days when they folded. It's rebuilding that fan base, which at times was very blaise about the franchise.

So yeah...it makes sense that there are more Toronto and Montreal fans when they come to visit. But then again...after Bill 101, are there more Montreal fans in Toronto? LOL
