how much is homefield advantage worth in the NHL?

[twistedbeats]

to henry17, who asked where i got the .31, it came from wikipedia-ing "home field advantage in hockey." to quote:
The following are recent statistical calculations of the home field advantage:

National Basketball Association: 3.2
NCAA Men's College basketball: 4.2
National Football League: 1.44
NCAA Men's College football: 1.94
National Hockey League: 0.31

i appologize for my previous laziness. i clicked the footnote for the nhl number and it was gibberish. had i clicked on any of the other numbers, i would have seen that it is indeed a power rating modifier.

to the first person who caught me misspeaking by being absolutely literal: hey yo! point for you.
to the second: did you see his post made an hour before you and say, "hey, can i make that joke funnier?"
to the third and the fourth: did you see his and say "hey, i can make their joke way less funny!" or was it a post count thing?
