It's one of the reasons that I fear the team getting home ice advantage for the playoffs, when clearly they respond much better away than at home. Obviously the team is having a great season thus far and is much different then previous iterations. There is reason for optimism and time to turn things around. But I'd be lying if I said I was confident in this team if they struggle at home all season and get home ice.
I agree with OP; the team needs to make it a priority to make the Saddledome a hateful place to play for other teams.

They actually have.
Just haven't had the results.
Every single metric has them way better on home ice than they've been on the road collectively.
Crazy really ... xGF% at home 66.1%, road 46.2%.
