Regardless, those games were played like playoff games - the stakes and intensity were there every bit as much as the "real" playoffs, so that's still a pretty impressive stat line. Their qualifying round was against Minnesota, too - not exactly an easy team to pile up points against when the season's on the line. Pretty tight checking squad.
They had the 3rd worst goals against in the WC. It was pretty tight in the bottom half of the West, but I don't think they are anything special when it comes to limiting scoring chances.

I have no problem using the play-ins as stats for the post-season though.
