Montreal wins a Game 7 to halt Boston's comeback from a 3-0 deficit.

Two of the 2nd-round series are now going, while two Game 7s from the first round remain active.

Not that it really matters - but the second round series could be changed by the last 2 game sevens. The highest remaining seed in the NHL Playoffs plays the lowest remaining seed, so in the East, for example, if #3 New Jersey wins, then they should play #8 Montreal.

I get that dom...but since the seedings don't really mean much in this format, I'm just going to run it through as a straight bracket.

If we had played a full season to earn those seeds then I would take that playoff format into account.

That was my guess. This way also helps the tournament run faster. Plus, being the #8 seed, I'd much rather play #4 in the second round than #3. :D

We have a winner...the New York Rangers (Hopscotcher) take Game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals in seven rounds on American Civil War to come back from a 3-1 series deficit to take the title. (odds about 12.5 percent...lol)

Nice job everyone and congrats to Hopscotch...

I still have a few spots open in a 1 vs. 1 (mostly) tennis tournament...check out create a tourney if interested.
