This release rebuilds how playoff odds work behind the scenes. The simulator is now bracket-aware — it knows which series have finished, which are in progress, and what the current score is — instead of resimulating the whole postseason from regular-season standings every time. What you'll see: • Accurate championship odds during the playoffs. Eliminated teams show 0% (not a leftover 4%). • "Eliminated in Round X by [Team]" badge replaces stale projections once your team is out. • Correct "Make Conference Finals" / "Make Round 2" percentages for teams mid-series — a team already in the semis won't show a 40% chance to get there. • Live series state on your team's card: "Conference Semifinals, leads 3-2 vs BUF." • Upcoming playoff games now show "Win this series" odds with proper win/loss swing, instead of falling back to championship deltas. • Game Impact cards work in the playoffs. Series wins and eliminations now produce real championship-odds movement. • AI explanations switch to a season-retrospective tone for eliminated teams instead of regular-season language. • Rooting section tells you why a team is out: "won't make the playoffs" vs. "Season Over — eliminated from the playoffs." • NHL playoff data feed fixed — eliminations now flow into the app within hours of the final buzzer.

- Playoff mode is ready for primetime. Odds, bracket data, championship chances, and playoff-specific screens now snap into place much more cleanly when the postseason starts. - Season transitions got a full tune-up, so moving between preseason, regular season, playoffs, and offseason feels a lot less weird. - Live updates and refresh timing were tightened up, which means less stale data hanging around after big changes. - Game impacts and season data are now better isolated, so old-season leftovers are much less likely to sneak into current views. - Postponed and edge-case games are handled more gracefully, because chaos is fun in sports, not in your app. - Offseason and archive data got cleaner, including better handling for champions, season wrap-up info, and preseason reset behavior. - We squashed a pile of playoff edge cases, race conditions, and timing bugs to make the app more reliable right when things start getting interesting.
