TO me the home Ice Advantage just isn't that big of a deal.

In the first round you have 50% change of getting 1 extra home game if the series goes 5 or 7 games rather than 4 or 6. And I'm thinking there is something like a 10% chance Edmonton will actually beat Vancouver. So are you really going to play Hudler, Brodie and Wideman hard for like a 5% chance of 1 extra home date.

For the second round home ice advantage will be 100% determined by the Ducks. There is nothing the Flames can do about it now.

And it is way to early to worry about anything beyond that.

Ty in TJ out.
Sam in Jiri out.

Monahan and Gaudreau should play 14 minutes max.
Wideman & Russell should play 18 minutes max.
