I do agree that NJ obviously has the advantage at home with line changes..
and god knows that Holik must be salivating at the idea of pounding Sakic
and driving him nuts ;). Then again, I'm always a bit worried about how
Diablos do at home (need I say more?). Still, if the FINALS can't fire them
up, then nothing will!! I mean, we won 3 on the road in Dallas last year so
who can predict anything with this team....
