I could maybe see a sniff at playoff spot though

I'm kind of trying to figure it out myself.
On the one hand, it's not very much to go off of. On the other hand...
Look, if I hear someone sing once or twice, I can pretty much tell if they are talented or not. If someone can sing, I can confidently say that yeah, that guy can sing pretty well. Why doesn't this apply to sports? If someone can play a damn good game of hockey, why shouldn't I feel comfortable calling them a damn good hockey player? Especially if a player hasn't been coached in the system and is learning to adjust to the nhl on the fly but can still be generating turnovers and scoring chances like a seasoned pro?
I try not to be too big of a homer most of the time, but I saw a damn good nhl player play the Canucks, and I only have reason to believe he'll get better. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think Gaudreau will ever lace them up for the heat.
