No I get that and I kinda take it back. I just saw a lot of Pens fans complaining about the ice after game 3 and claiming that it made the Pens lose/Sharks win because they're "used to it" and I think the Sharks home record shows that they don't have a huge advantage against other teams because they're used to the ice. They could be losing for any number of reasons, but I think it's hard to argue that away teams are doomed to struggle in San Jose because of the ice conditions.

Nah, it's just that fans of a team notice more and fixate more on the mistakes their own players make/what plays fail for their team because of the ice. I may be mistaken, but I seem to recall a Pens media person or blogger speculating that the ice conditions hurt the Sharks more. They didn't explain why, but maybe if the puck behaves in unpredictable ways, that is easier for the faster team to deal with?
