All NHL Playoff series are best of 7, meaning if you lose 4 you are out
That depends, when a team makes it into the Stanley Cup playoffs they play teams in a best of seven game (first to four wins) series. The elimination style playful structure is designed to consist of 4 rounds including the Stanley Cup Finals for the two teams which are talented enough to make it past their competitors. So a team can play as little as 16 games throughout the Stanley Cup Playoffs or as many as 28.
The Stanley Cup was never 5 games it was always 7
you win the playoffs, genious. But more specifically you have to go through the entire season, make it to the playoffs and then win the Stanley cup finals.
There are at least 4 games per best of seven series with a maximum of 7 games per series played. There are a total of 15 series (7 series per conference plus 1 for the Stanley Cup). That's at least 60 games with a maximum of 105 games (if every series goes to game 7). Each team plays 4 series. That means they play at least 16 games with a maximum of 28 games (assuming the team makes it to the Stanley Cup playoffs). TL&DR: 16-28 games per team (assuming they go to the Stanley cup Playoffs). 60-105 games overall.
The Stanley Cup.
Never, they haven't won a Stanley Cup.
