VGK were +18 and VAN +13 last year and both missed. Also might be evidence that the PAC isn't as terrible as it was a few years ago.
NYR +20, DAL +4 both missed in the weird division year.
I skipped the COVID shortened season cuz there were no clear delineation of playoff teams. Year before that MTL +13 and missed.
Year before that was 2017-18: FLA +2, STL +4, DAL +10.
Basically all of those teams (except VAN) had some pretty good success (or at least a cinderella run) in the years following those near-misses.
