Boy, you can come up with all kinds of statistical gymnastics to try and fit your narrative.
Yes, I am assuming that closer refers to the fact that the series was decided in a single, final game, and not only that, but in double overtime.
Closer in that the differential in games won was 1 game, as opposed to 2 games.
Closer in that, even had Toronto won one more of those overtime games, they still would have had to win another game to win the series.
A game in which could have very well resulted in a blowout, one way or another, but we'll never know because the series never got to that point because it wasn't close enough.
Riiiigggghhhtttt.....it was a whole lot of gymnastics stating a series in which 100% of the games were decided by one goal and 83% were settled in overtime was "close".
Good Lord.
"Oh but the imaginary game might have been a blowout so let's throw the actual results out the window!! Like for reals! It totally would have happened. AINEC!!!"
