Getting Comfortable On The Road

from Ulf Samuelsson at the Hockey News,
It’s hard to understand why teams play so much better at home than on the road. Every coach has pulled all the stats and all the data you can gather to try and break it down and analyze it, but I don’t think there’s any one fact you can put your finger on.
If you look at our team in Phoenix, we’re playing pretty well at home this year, as we just seem to be more comfortable there. We have a lot of young players who aren’t used to being on the road as much as you are in the NHL’s Western Conference.
Especially going to places like Montreal, where we recently played for the first time in a couple years. It was a Saturday night game and we got to the rink in the morning and there were a lot of people watching the morning skate.
