Wouldn't the Sharks' opponents be playing on the same ice? Why would that explain their home record?

Oh you're right, lol. Duh. In either case I guess it proves that the quality of the ice shouldn't be a huge factor in who wins because the Sharks don't have some kind of secret advantage in knowing how to play on sloppy ice.

Because they have practice on shitty ice, and it's harder to get things smoothly in practice and them again on inconsistent ice?

This assumes their practice facility has the same shitty ice as their arena. I guess that's a reasonable assumption to make? IDK.

da
if their practice ice is nicer than their arena ice that can still lead to the problem ayrt was talking about. I think the point is that their home record shows they're not the masters of the shitty ice, and making it worse to fuck with the pens would be fucking with themselves as well. If the ice really did give them a bad home record it's ultimately a toss up whether it's affecting them worse than the Pens or vice versa, imo.

It's not really a founded assumption unless they have any particular knowledge of the practice rink. The practice rink is in the same hot/humid climate, but without having to accommodate so many people, it's a lot easier to control the temperature and ice conditions. The Pens' old practice rink had fantastic ice, but Consol's ice is pretty shitty.
