A friend of mine recently brought to my attention the statistical superiority of Road Iggy versus Home Iggy this year. Check it out:
Home Iggy: 36 GP, 16g-19a-35p, +8 - 0.972 PPG pace.
Road Iggy: 32 GP, 24g-20a-44p, +17 (!) - 1.375 PPG pace.
It's not even close. The difference is further highlighted by Scott Cruickshank today when he mentions that Calgary has the 7th best PP as the visitors...and the 29th (!!) best PP as the hosts. So either the Flames have been consistently playing vastly superior competition at the Dome this year or something is up with Jarome and co.
Any guesses? Iginla prefers the tougher match-ups? Pregnant wife and new child keep him up at night? Palpable Fan pressure/expectations? A voo-doo curse?
The good news is, most of the Flames remaining games are away from home (including another trip to the wonderful SE division).
