If the Maple Leafs or the Habs won two playoff series in 27 years, you'd see a lot less people there caring about their team too...even with all the history. Quebec City is a pretty small market for an NHL team. If a team moved there, then they'd get some early support, but if they're completely mismanaged their patience wouldn't last.

I think the Leafs are probably the only team immune to it. They'll fill the rink no matter the product. But I really think they are the only ones.
Everyone else is susceptible to it. Like you say with the Jets - the euphoria of their return seems to have worn off. Hell, even the Oilers with a generational talent in McDavid had a bunch of empty seats a few years ago. And these are hockey mad towns where the NHL is the only game in town (major pro anyway).
So if you can't fill Canadian rinks with no other major pro sports competition, how can you expect fans to come out in droves to see perennial losers like the Coyotes and the Panthers (until a couple of years ago)?
Adam - I recall you and I making the argument about the Panthers attendance problems being linked to on ice performance and we were told that no, that's not it. Well here is a graph with the Panthers attendance - I'll let you guess which were their best seasons:
