A 60 point blowout in the post season is the same as a 60 point blow out in the beginning of the season. The only difference is that if you ever want the later rounds you HAVE to have done the earlier rounds. But do not equate just doing a playoff game as gaining any gainful experience. You can do that over the regular season. Its just a necessary step in the process and IMO doesnt help you, nor does it hurt.

I dont mean to take away from your excitement but temper your expectations with the reality of the situation.
You might get games because all they need is a warm body, but don't project that to others on the board. And even if it was true, it's really not necessary or helpful to say.
