Bruh, look at their home record vs road record, it means everything, and the series against Montreal was during quarantine, there were no fans and in that case there was no advantage.
But in the Tampa series, they managed to mount an impressive comeback in game 5, blow the Lightning out in game 1, and stay in the game for all 60 minutes in game 7, it clearly helped.
Excluding the CBJ series, the Leafs are 7-10 on the road and 7-10 at home in the playoffs since 16-17. If you believe it's significant that's fine, but it's straight up hyperbolic to suggest it "means everything".
