Here we are. It comes down to four games in five nights for the right to have home Ice in the 1st round of the playoffs. The tips are Home against Seattle on Wednesday, a home and home on Friday (at the EEC) & Saturday with the AMS, then a visit to the Key on Sunday to finish it off. The Hawks, on the other had, have four games as well on the same days. A home and home with the T-birds on Friday & Saturday sandwiched in-between a trip to Spokane on Wednesday and a home Finale on Sunday against the AMS.

Just how important is home ice advantage? Well, not very much if you beleive these stats:

1. Portland is now unbeaten in its last 8 road games, (7-0-1)
2. Portland has lost 5 of its last 8 home games.
3. The Tips are 4-5-1 there past 10 on the road
