I don't know of a specific rule book, but here's how the playoffs work: There are four rounds. Each round is "best of seven." That means whichever team wins four games wins that series. So, you might say " Leafs win the cup in 6 games." Or 5,4,or 7. I hope this explains it.

If you think the Leaf's will win the cup, it has to be in round four, game 4 or later.

Ok, the final round is the fourth round. Are you picking the Leaf's to win? If yes, then by picking in 4 games you are saying they will win four straight games and "sweep" the other team. It doesn't happen too often, but it's possible.

I say they are winning it in the 7th game.
I must accept, it's really difficult to catch on these metrics used in US. Why so many rounds with matches. Why can't they keep it simple?
In Cricket, we also have groups, divisions etc. etc.
But we always use one format for playoffs, that is a knockout stage—
8 teams qualify for quarterfinals, the losing side is knocked out and winning sudes qualify for the semi finals.
Then, 4 teams play in semi finals, again losing teams knock out and two winning teams qualify for the finals.
The winner of the final takes the cup.

I don't know Cricket, but I do know matches last a long time. Hockey games are usually over in 2 1/2 hours. So the teams play each other between 4 and 7 times. Also, 16 teams make the playoffs. I agree that is too many.

Cricket matches do also last like 3 hours or so these days. The world cup that is sheduled to be hosted by US in June will also have this short version where every team only needs to play for 20 overs, that last in about 1.5 hours.

Ok. So we will put you down for the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup in 7 games. It probably won't be necessary, but pick a tie breaker. How many goals scored by both teams in that game?
