What playoff format do you guys prefer? 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1?

I think the 2-2-1-1-1 format is fine, but I think it would be cool if they used the 2-3-2 format throughout the entire playoffs instead of just the finals like they do in MLB and the NBA. I'd be cool with them sticking with the 2-2-1-1-1 format throughout though.

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.
