Do you prefer 2-3-2 or 2-2-1-1-1 for a series format?

2 2 1 1 1

Jump off a bridge you liberal lefty, lefty! 2-3-2. Team with the most wins get four at home. They deserved it.

In basketball 22111, in baseball and hockey 232 is fine since home field isn’t that big of an advantage

I think the home team / higher seed should always have the edge. I would honestly be okay with the higher seed being able to totally set the home-away game split based on how they see fit (keeping it still 4-3) but if it has to be standardized I would prefer 2-2-1-1-1

Yea i don’t know when 2-3-2 became a thing. Is that only a baseball thing?

2-3-2 is horrible. If anything it favors the worst team. They only need to win 1 road game of the first two and then have the 3 straight they need at home to close out a series.

The 5th game should be played at the home stadium of the better team with home field advantage

Home ice teams in the playoffs have won 55.4% in the NHL.

Granted the NBA is higher, but it definitely is an advantage.

4-3. Front load it for the higher seed. Then if the lower seed wins even a single game, assholes start puckerin.
