| Detroit has lost by only one goal both games. Howard has been standing on his head. They'll get back home and be fired up. If they can get their offense going San jose won't be able to stop them. |

Given these two choices, I say Detroit as well. For no other reason but coaching. They have one of the best, if not the best coach in the NHL today. If anyone can change the performance of a team, it's Mike Babcock.
Poor Mr. Magoo (Boudreau) will keep on trying the same tactics and get the same results. I am not a TB fan but I sure will be happy if they pull out that win. |

| I'd say Detroit because Washington dropped their two games on home ice and now have to come back while playing on the road. Detroit, conversely, now has home-ice advantage. |

Can you add Philly now to this?
I am truly surprised that the #1 and #2 seeds int he East could lose both home games right off the bat in their respective series . . .very, very weird.
I would say Detroit, but they have a huge advantage over the other teams - they are going home, as opposed to on the road. Statistically, they have a much much better chance than both Washington and Philly.
Still, if Boston can do it, going 0 fer on the pp, anyone can.

I have to add the scheduling sucks. Detroit had what? 6-7 days off and now get 2 days between games?
This happened with Bos / Mtl as well. Lady Caca caused the Bos one, what's the deal with the Det series? The downtime can only work in Det favor, giving them ample healing / rest time. |

Probably due to travel time. The series is 3000km and 3 time zones apart... VAN/NSH have the same deal. I think you easterners forget how far apart the western teams are  |

Yes, they last played Saturday and now play tonight, Tuesday, I think that had more to do with the election yesterday and CBC broadcasting that then any time zone stuff.
CANUCKS RULE!!!

Speaking of scheduling, TB and Washington play tonight AND tomorrow night. No break between games.
Washington might be golfing by Thursday. |

A lot of people are saying Detroit because they still have both their home games but this playoffs home ice advantage haven't been much of an advantage. I said Washington because I think they have the best team and they are playing the worst opponent.

| Im saying Detroit because Tampa Bay will not back off. They are way stronger than Washinton in the post-season. If you look ast San Jose, Detroit can out skate them, out pass them. San Jose can back off. Detroit have all their stars back. |

| Can I vote for Philly. They have the best chance of coming back. After losing the next game of course, they will have the Bruins just where they want them |
