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.

2-3-2 definately, less travel and stress on the players

I agree with Chris, I guess I am a bigger MLB NBA fan, so that has always stuck with me.

While the Caps/Flyers series really isn't affected too much with the 2-2-1-1-1 series setup, I can see it being a pain with some of the Western Conference series-es (sp?). 2-3-2 is definitely more traditional (I'm a tradition guy...), but the NHL style 2-2-1-1-1 is a good change of pace.

Big challenge tonight on the road. Do or die, we have played well this year with our backs against the wall. Lets roll and bring this series back to DC for a game 7.

Notice the boo birds in Philly. What a terrible city, that would not happen if the Caps lose at home.
