I realize obviously it's going to be worth more in some places than others.
I heard the other day something like the Redwings have WON 23 straight home games. The Blues had gone like 18 straight at home without a loss. I see the Spurs lose by like 40 on the road the other day.
I've bet one basketball game in like two years and I've never bet hockey before, so I wouldn't have the slightest clue.
I've heard studies show that mens testostrone levels increase when they're at home...and increase even higher when they're at home against a rival. So, if that's true, it's almost like a team gets a drug hop from being home.

well, if you look at the caps this year, home ice is the only thing keeping them in reach of the playoffs.
in some venues, the boards play a bit differently. the homers would have an advantage because they're used to the idiosyncracies of their ice. i think detroit is one of the arenas like that. then again, the wings are just good anyway.
