Hot take- leafs should NOT have homeice in playoffs

[ULF_55]

Against Boston you want home ice advantage.

Check out their last 2 playoff series and tell me you wouldn't want a doover with the 7th. game in Toronto.

My hot take to the OP :

NOPE !!!

 

[Judas Tavares]

I believe in the mental aspect of the game and I think the mindset of the game 7 being at home would be better for the team, especially with the media narrative.

leafs ight not ake the playoffs way way too any passengers melander, matthews, z, gardiner, kadri, marleau, bad pp, bad 4th line, goalie injury etc. they are way too soft, dont compete, d afraid to get hit. dubas HAS to address our D and get rid of the dead weight, melander too.

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........

believe me, you don't have to worry, we won't have home ice

and the bruins will knock us out in the first round, again.

and MM/AM contract demands will be so huge, we will have to dilute this roster to make them fit

what happens after that,,,no idea.

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?

I'll take home ice please!

Gulp.
Sounds so bad

Hot take: Andi P isn't cute

Sure, as long as it's not Boston in the first round. Home ice can be the difference in the series
