Bolto
?
I usually don't get my hockey news from ESPN but I get the magazine and when I opened the latest issue I came across a one page article, "Nuts about the Bolts".
The gist of the story is that the Bolts statistically have the biggest home/away point differential and biggest home/away win differential in the NHL when you look at the last five years. They're not saying we're lousy on the road. The article focuses on our having a big home ice advantage due to the local fan base. They point out we've played to 96.2 percent capacity at home this year and they cite the Sticks of Fire cheering section as an example of what the home crowd is like.
Nice to get some respect from the out of town media.
