Finding Hyman
That is just small sample size illusion, 32 teams and they have 25-30 games both in home and away. It is pretty likely that there are couple anomalies. No team is better in away games if you look at big enough sample size. And if you want to put a lot of weight on small sample sizes, Calgary has won 11 out of their 12 last home games.
The oilers are better on the road, and its no short sample, its the whole bleeding season. There is no home advantage when you're the Edmonton Oilers. The bolded is just silly, because people are speaking of the Oilers record. not a bunch of other clubs.
A number of posters have mentioned possibilities for why the Oilers struggle at home. Its quite plausible that a team due to unique roster, circumstance, will struggle at home. One factor even is the Oilers even reported preferring playing in front of crowds on the road and disliked playing in empty, or half empty rinks in Canada. I mean the players have flat out said it.
That said it doesn't explain the Montreal game. That was essentially a road game played at Rogers place. jk..
