That would be tough, it could be the pressure the team feels at home and a contributing factor to their poor home play and record.

On the other hand, they do not play well at home. Uninspired with providing little to cheer for. What generates the buzz in the building are exciting plays and things actually happening, which most of a home Flames contest is missing. Nobody comes to watch technical strategic hockey. Nobody comes to watch men going through the motions. Nobody comes to watch floating, no push back, no hitting, no engagement play.

This is one of those cases where he is right and wrong all at the same time. And this is one of those times where the fans are right and wrong all at the same time too.

Stajan could be better. Fans could be better.
Yeah but I’m not making $3,000,000. I think the onus is on him and his teammates to be better.
