I probably look into why.
Is our goalie brutal? at the time, yes it was
Special teams? horrible
Are we getting out played? yes
Are bounces a part of this? a bad one and we fold
Finishing skills? outside the top 6 lacking.
If my team is getting 40% of the shots, shot attempts and scoring chances and we missed the playoffs it's a very different off season than if we were 2nd in all those categories and found a way to lose.
To just look at the standings would be a) lazy and b) negligence

That's why they were bad, not stats related.
