True- but remember the 2006 playoffs where in the 2nd round the 5th and 6th place teams had home ice advantage. Then in the 3rd round the 7th place team had home ice. (I think that's what happened- going off memory.)
There was also talk after the Columbine incident that Colorado might have to surrender home ice advantage. As it turned out they just changed the order of the games.
My point here is that with so many variables in play- it is easier to just charge for the maximum potential games and refund for what isn't played. A couple of years ago I went to an April game in Tampa and they had their "pay as we play" announcements. It seemed quite complicated for what it was really worth.
