Usually, having home field/court/ice is preferable.
This post season, both the Bruins & Celtics lost 3 (THREE) games at home.
Don't know if that has every happened to a collection of professional sports teams within the same location region.
Hey, I'd much rather have that home bonus.
But I prefer rooting for the road warriors.
And I think, we have players who take home advantage for granted & elevate their games to another level on the road.
Mazulla's game 7 starting lineup hunch/prayer did not work out - and I think it was unfair to place that responsibility on our "stay ready team" to start a Game 7.
Don't know the numbers, but it looked like every Celtic went cold after Game 4
And the Bruins defense (goalie support) was not all that shinning during our regular season, not just this playoff series with Buffalo.
(Too many regulars season overtime games, that shouldn't have been.)
Honestly, I still don't know how to accept losing 3 home games in playoff series.
Maybe to the best team in your division/conference?
Not to the 7th seed.
