Kiszla vs. Chambers: How much is Avalanche’s home ice hurt by transplants rooting for visiting teams?

Kiz: Mind if I share a pet peeve? There are way too many regular-season games in the Pepsi Center when it feels as if the hometown Avalanche is skating on neutral ice. Hey, way back in 1983, I moved to Colorado. So I certainly have no problem sharing our beautiful state with folks smart enough to leave Chicago, Detroit or anywhere it’s gray all winter long. But did all these fine people have to bring their old hockey allegiances with them from the dreary Midwest?

Chambers: To me it seems that the die-hard Avs fans or Colorado natives usually drown out opposing fans.
