Okay, well I disagree, it should be based on their last sample size, in these games playoffs should count.
Do you at least agree that Vancouver is highly overrated in the game? Their defense for example, has one player rated in the 70's. Everyone else is in the 80's, with an 84, and two 88's..... LA, which was the second best defense in the regular season, has 3 players in the 70's, and 2 in the low 80's with Doughty at 87.
There is no justification for that. Vancouver is rated 4.5 across the board, the only team to be rated as such. There's favoritism in play, and to me it seems pretty obvious.

nhl ratings have always more accurately expressed how the team did in the regular season then in the playoffs.
how its always been. how every sports game is, actually.
