The Boston Bruins won’t see any home-ice advantage under the NHL ‘Return To Play Plan’ announced on Tuesday.
Given their regular season record as the best team in the NHL, it will be rather unfortunate and some might say slightly unfair for the Boston Bruins not to have the usual home-ice advantage they’d have in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
However, this season is unlike any other and that usual advantage of the Boston Bruins skating out to a packed TD Garden is unlikely to play out if and when the post-season eventually gets underway – the current Return To Play Plan certainly doesn’t allow for it.
