Playoff results

Dear OOTP, please improve the NHL playoffs. Obviously it was ignored when I had already pointed it out during the beta testing, but whatever, I still think that this really needs some serious work.

Playoff games in the real NHL are usually close and more or less low-scoring. Of course, the occasional 7-6 OT win happens, but the results in the game are just mind-blowing.

First playoff round: me, LA Kings, President Trophy winner, against Minnesota, 8th seed. The first two games I win 8-6 and 5-4. That's nice and everything but unrealistic. Then I lose game 3 0-2 so I go on and suddenly I lose 2-10?!? So I crash the game, play it again and I lose 1-8!
Then I restart it again and lose 2-7.

I cannot understand why this is the case. During the regular season your results are very realistic. But in the playoffs it's the same like in the beta version: one has to restart a series like 20 times before getting serious results (which includes a series win as well as a series loss).

I'm not one of those who scream for a refund, I'm glad that this game even exists and I can live with several shortcomings, but I think that this is something you really really need to address.
The playoffs should be the highlight of the year, instead they're currently just tedious.

Results like 5-2, 6-5, 6-4 and 5-4 in the conference final after a 7-2 in game 5 of the 2nd round.

I can't play like this (even if some of those results were actually wins)....
