Home vs. Away

I got to thinking, why is this team so Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde when it comes to home games vs away games. I took the CSSI adjusted stats for every skater that had played more than 10 games at home and 10 games on the road and adjusted weighted them as if every skater had played 21 home and 21 away games. Here are the rather surprising results.

So what is going on with Cleary, Zetterberg, Kindl, Kronwall, and Datsyuk and especially Lidstrom that they are disappearing on the road? Is it a that they miss home cooking, are they getting worse matchups on the road or are they just sick of taking on inferior teams and embarrassing them in front of their home crowds?
