No changes. No psychological component in the mix.
Then how will I know how to build back better? I lost...I'm ok with that...But, there's got to be an explanation as to why. At least there has to be numbers to suggest a reason. One goalie played well...Guys that don't shoot much scored...Guys that shoot much and score much--didn't score, but still shot a lot. a goalie that saved a lot, didn't save shit. I see all of that...But, there's no logical explanation that I can see in the stats that would indicate a reason why.
So, I should just be ok with that? Wouldn't you question a result such as this after putting together a team that performed as it did throughout the regular season?

Questions:
-Why would one team's offense get Shutdown and the other team not?
-Why would one goaltending tandem in a series be So Horrendus, and the other Steller?
-Why would one team be so dominant in the Regular Season, and be dominated by the 8th Place team in the playoffs without a
boost of some kind?
-Not only did my Goaltending take a 180, but also the Offense? Weird.
-All of these questions were asked approx 3 months ago, when this was happening, ironically back then. I am asking, NOT because I want the result changed/reversed. I ask, because I would like to adjust my team for the future.
Don't tell me..."It happens in the NHL." I already know that. But, we've already clarified that there is no psychological advantage, no advantage for toughness, AND...we have already determined that the GHL and NHL cannot be compared. So, I'd like to know what I can do on my end, to lessen the chances of this type of BS occurring.
This is a statistical based simulation, correct? Many times, NOT ONLY AGAINST SUFFOLK, the 20 sided dice roll, wink wink, is questionable. Shots taken, shots against, etc...Goalie Love Elevated for sure!
Like I said, the results are final. I'm not asking for a reversal. I'm asking for my future alterations for MY team.
