Can Thrashers take over Jackets in attendance?

Wouldn't it be nice to take over the Blue Jackets for the 27th spot in attendance by the end of this season? It might help with the prospective new owners. Plus, we wouldn't have to listen to Chris Vilvamore say in every single article that the Thrashers are 28th in attendance.

Right now here is how it stands:

#26 Devils(!?!) 14,513
#27 Jackets 13,285
#28 Thrashers 13,212
#29 Coyotes 11,742
#30 Islanders 10,435

I know we're too far away to pass the Devils, but I put it on there because I find it hilarious that they're so low.

So what do we need to pull it off? We need our last 4 home games to be an average of at least 13,996 AND the Jackets not to increase their attendance average.

What home games remain for the Thrashers and my predictions?
Canucks - Friday (15,000) edit: actual 16,237
Senators - Sunday (13,000) edit: actual 16,392
Hurricanes - Friday (15,000)
Penguins - Sunday (17,000)

Which would put us over the top! That's an average of 15,000 per game. So bring your friends out to Blueland and make us less shitty than the Blue Jackets!
