for a few reasons- one they play better on the road, 2. babs cant worry too much about line matching. 3. i believe they will get an easier opponent in the 1st round if they finish 3rd or 4th. thoughts........

If you finish 2nd you play Boston at home. Finsh 3rd you play Boston on the road. 4th you play Tampa Bay or the defending Stanley Cup champions on the road. where exactly is the easy matchup?for a few reasons- one they play better on the road, 2. babs cant worry too much about line matching. 3. i believe they will get an easier opponent in the 1st round if they finish 3rd or 4th. thoughts........
Cold take : the Leafs should have whatever ice advantage they earn.
Warm take : The Leafs should win hockey games.
Yeah, because NOT having home ice worked out so well in game seven against the Bruins last year... again.for a few reasons- one they play better on the road, 2. babs cant worry too much about line matching. 3. i believe they will get an easier opponent in the 1st round if they finish 3rd or 4th. thoughts........

I'll take home ice please!
The Leafs would likely have made it out of the first round in both the last 2 playoffs if they had had home ice advantage.
