Also, the away goals rule is NOT in effect for the playoffs. Having the second leg at home is still an advantage, I think, but perhaps not quite as much if away goals were the tiebreaker.
Related - if tied after both legs, it goes directly to penalties. I'm actually not a fan of this. If you've slogged it out over two legs, and an entire season for that matter, give it every chance for it to be settled properly with extra time before basically flipping a coin.
