PS. Funny that in the conference finals it's better the other way around, but the sample size is probably too small. Overall better to be up 2-0 as the higher placed team.

Some interesting numbers. I'm suprised home ice isn't more of an advantage. I guess it makes sense that the higher seeded team would come back more often, they are typically superior.
