hey if it isnt too late i would really like to change the # of game 7's that there will be.. i put down 6.. but in my calculations i had 3 game 7's in the first round and then none until the finals where i had it going 7.. so my answer should be 4...

the way i understood in years past was that any team that was swept in the earliest possible round that was swept gets the 5 points.
so lets say the red wings sweep tonight then the answers of Columbus, Montreal and St. Louis all get 5 points. If no one got swept in the first round and then San Jose and Boston both got swept in the second round then both San Jose and Boston answers would get you 5 points.
so every team that gets swept in the first round that there is a sweep gets 5 points, hope that helps. let me know if you still don't understand and I will try to think of a different way to explain it.
