Nevlach Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Home ice will be huge. Hope we can keep that 2nd seed. Unfortunately we're a very mediocre road team. That could come back to haunt us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevlach Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Last year the Portland Winterhawks had a 19 game consec home winning streak. Rockets become the first team in 17 years to win 20 in a row. But 2 of the next 5 are against the Winterhawks so should be tough to keep the streak going now!
