The Leafs will only have home ice advantage as long as they aren't losing in Game 1. If (more likely WHEN) Boston or TB score first.....that place will be dead silent.

The opponent really doesn't matter for Toronto. They have to get out of the first round and they especially need their stars to perform and PRODUCE like stars. As a Habs fan, I was still terrified everytime Matthews touched the puck last year because he was still buzzing and attempting plenty of shots. They didn't go in which, in the end, is all that matters.
Whether it's Boston or Tampa, they need to be able to dictate their game for at least the majority of the series. Everyone knows that losing to Tampa in the playoffs is not a bad thing, especially if you perform well enough (like the Islanders did) but for Toronto, I don't think the process will be enough if they lose.
For Steve Dangle's faith, I kind of hope they break through.
