Tipped Off

An interesting take to the start of the playoffs:
....Did any of you hear Constantine on Fish's show last night? He said he would still like to have the home ice advantage, but that he would much rather start the playoffs on the road. His reasoning was that the 1st playoff game is a "throw away" game. The teams don't play in the middle of the series (or even after the first game) the same way they play in the 1st game because of the nerves and such. He said since the Tips have 11 or 12 rookies, it might especially show for the Tips. Becasue of this, he'd rather start on the road so if the game doesn't go your way, you haven't lost home ice advantage.
Thoughts?
