Home field advantage in the playoffs

By Tangotiger, 12:12 PM

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?
