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...

question #1
 
if there are 2 sweeps in the 1st round, do you have to pick the one that happens 1st, or does it matter. as i have picked columbus, and they may be swept tonight, st.louis has already been swept, so is the correct answer st.louis, or will they both be right if columbus loses tonight.

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.
