It makes things a lot harder when you're losing 10% more of the draws and that can bite you in situations where you're pushing for a goal or preventing one. It's small, but it does add up over the course of a season, and the playoffs can be changed entirely by a single bit of good/bad luck and having the possession off the draw decreases the chances for bad luck and increases them for a good bounce.
