You're looking at 55.4% over more than 15 years with with a 41-33 record for the home team but it yields about -5 units of profit, betting the same unit each game, depending on your line.
All but two of those games had the home team favored and the average line of those favorites was -160. In the other three games the home teams were pickem (win), +110 (Loss), and +255 (win).
On May 4th this year three of the four game two's had the home team coming off a loss.
The home team won all three of those games.
Here's what it looks if you bet the home team here over the last 74 plays...
If we flip that though, you find profit on the away team.
The record is 33-41, 44.6%, But a bettor betting that same unit on the Visiting team in game two after the home team lost game 1 would be up about +5 units.
The bettor only needed to win a little over 40% of those games for profit.
Every game is unique if you know anything about probabilities.
Just because team A beat team B and team C beat team D on the second game of a playoff away it does not mean that team A will beat team C in the second away game of the next series.
why cant panthers play like they did in the reg season
Because teams play better defense and care more in the playoffs. Florida like to capitalize on laziness during the regular season and didn’t work as hard like this in the regular season

Yeah
Playoffs can be a different animal. No matter the sport.
It's often related to defense. Even when the playoffs started this year with that flurry of Overs, it doesn't mean we didn't still see a playoff defense. Overs were profitable at a crazy rate year to date in the NHL.

But playoffs still brought changes.
They are like O & 30 on their playoff power plays lol yeah so that doesn’t help at all.
Haha Florida at their best. Powerplay with 3 minutes to go and they produce nothing and then give up the game winning goal with 3 seconds left because the defenseman thought he needed to double team Kucherov behind the net. Good thing i learned my lesson from game 1
Tampa Bay sells out in the playoffs. Guys put their bodies out there to stop shots. I think Stamkos had like 4 blocks in the 3rd period.
They up their defensive play to win Stanley Cups.
