I mean they kept track of the number of goals and assists , but the default stats for players don’t include the playoff
To allow even comparison across teams that play a different number of games. It’s a very different proposition to get 138 points in 82 games vs 110. In soccer, it’s common to quote statistics as “per 90 minutes” for just this reason.

“Fuck you for caring about the sport, now give us some more fucking money! You want stats, hire a statistician. Except you can’t because you’re a POOR FUCKER!”
“Now shut up and buy another watery $35 beer.”
