Part of the reason he says that is because we're 1-12 in our last 13 games @TOR (on the road). He says that'll have to change for the C's to win a series against them especially since it's likely TOR has home court against BOS.
To be honest, he's not entirely wrong. We were also 1-7 in the road last year's playoffs (while 10-1 at home) so we may have to prove ourselves on the road this year to have a chance at making the Finals.
I'm a bit surprised Scal didn't say MIL though. He barely even mentioned them actually. Scal assumes it's likely TOR-BOS in the ECF...
