The 2-3-2 seems like it would make more sense, but in a way, I've always thought the lower-seeded team had more of an advantage because they get 3 home games in a row. If they CAN steal one of the first 2 games on the road, they get 3 at home and the series may not even make it back to the arena of the team with "home ice/field advantage".

2-2-1-1-1 eliminates that but I bet travel is a pain.

I don't really care either way, but the 2-2-1-1-1 seems like the most fair, despite the traveling.
