I don't understand how the Play in is considered as playoffs, stupid.

the play in rounds have certainly skewed stats...they shouldn't be counted as playoff stats for anyone IMO they weren't actually playoffs
Its not salt, Flames didn't win a round...it wasn't playoffs yet. I have the same opinion regardless of team
did McDavid have 9 playoff points despite missing the playoffs? lots of fake records being set this year

I think the qualifying round was officially "postseason", but not "playoffs".
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.

Playing an 12, 11, 10, 9, seed is certainly an advantage against historical records
For me none of those stats are playoff stats for any team...people seem to want to pick and choose

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.

The Wild were amazing at limiting chances. Dubnyk couldn't stop a basketball

How is the 7th seed playing the 10th seed, two teams that were separated by a single point, advantageous against the 2nd seed playing the 7th seed, with those teams separated by 8 points (Pittsburgh vs Ottawa in 07-08)?
The qualifiers might not count in terms of “winning a round in the Stanley Cup playoffs” and you can argue that, because of that, the stats shouldn’t count at all, but don’t act like they’re somehow less legitimate from a competition standpoint. That’s silly.

The play in series had unlimited OT and the losers were eliminated. They were de facto playoff games.
Having 24 of 31 teams in the playoffs seems like a lot but isn’t much more than when 4 of 6 or 16 of 21 made them. Also with parity I’d argue playing a 24th seed today is tougher than facing a 16th seed in the 80s.
Let’s just enjoy these playoffs without trying to put an asterisk on everything.

Ouch I don't remember that. The misread on Ortio ended up being costly in more ways than one.

Remember, at the time, there was a reason Markstrom was on waivers. If Ian Clark never rejoins the Canucks, he probably doesn't get this good.

Was this in 2014? Because we already had Ramo and UFA Hiller under contract for a combined $7.25M, and if my understanding of waiver rules is correct, they likely didn't want to carry three goalies on the NHL roster.
Ortio would have been in the AHL and waiver exempt IIRC. They may have preferred Ortio at the time, but to say they chose Ortio over Markstrom is a bit misleading...

The NHL boxed itself in by prorating points for bonuses. Couldn’t do that plus count play-in points As regular season, I guess.

My biased view is that winning a play-in round is like winning a PO round because there was no substantive difference (especially when you are old enough to remember 5 game first round series). BUT not wining the play-in means you didn’t make the POs (Edmonton).

He was? Hindsight, the entire league should have snagged him and he never should have been there in the first place

Funny Story:
The Flames were already carrying 3 goalies on the roster which is how the team lost Paul Byron to Montreal.
