We stink on home ice.

We got eliminated by Dallas on home ice last year.

I really don’t think the players care about that anymore.
They never should have.

I know folks love to think the fans can make a difference. It's just not the case. The reason the home team wins more series than the visiting team is because they are higher seeded and more than likely to simply be a better team. An 82 game regular season sorteed this all out... unless anyone thinks teams are sandbagging but still aiming for the playoffs.

The Rangers are the opposite of a tight checking team. So many teams this year have given the Avs no space whatsoever. This game looks wide open in comparison.

I suppose that plays out in the statistics (I don’t know) but I do know the players do seem to legitimately appreciate the fans. Either way it is more fun when the place is pumped up.
