The team that wins the first game could sleep through the second?
Playoff rules create some anomalies. I recall NY Rangers in the 70s needing goals to make the playoffs in the final game. Didn't matter if they won or lost, just that they scored more goals. So they played with 6 forwards to score more and didn't care if their empty net was filled, which it was.
