Love Hockey
What does it mean to have home ice during the playoffs in hockey?
I love hockey but I don't understand why teams are eager for home ice.
The home ice advantage means up to 4 of 7 games are played in your arena. Games 1,2,5 and 7. Those can be key games.
At home:
The fans are behind you.
You sleep in your own bed, not a hotel.
You know your own rink best and probably have a team that does well in that rink - fast/slow ice, flexible/hard boards, bad bounce spots of boards and glass, and not so many years ago slightly smaller ice surfaces, etc.
You get last shift change - so you can use a line matching strategy which in play offs is used even more.
You get last stick down in a face off, which is a slight face off advantage.

I'd love to be a hockey mom but I have no children and hate sports. How can I get on board the maverick wagon?
I want to stoke the fire in a free America's engine room but other Republican women often make me feel different.
Become a teabagger! They seem to have fun in their own little way.
