The team with the biggest home ice advantage is Buffalo. Buffalo is a small market, its not a Toronto or a Los Angeles. The fans here are diehard, their vocal, their there game in and game out regardless of who is in town. There's no baseball or basketball, its just football and hockey. So they come in droves. A winning tradition also helps to bring in the fans from around the region. It's got homegrown players which helps to also get fans involved because their not just coming in via FA, their being developed here and often times they stay long after retirement to coach or otherwise be involved in the community.
