Home field advantage in the playoffs

By Tangotiger

I always thought that one of the big benefits of the HFA is the travelling. That if we looked at the playoffs, the HFA would be quite a bit less. While I don’t care too much about the individual game-by-game splits (managers have high selective sampling here), the overall results seem exactly in line with the regular season HFA. Anyone have the relevant stats in NFL, NBA, and NHL?
