The First Round of the NBA Playoffs was changed from best-of-5 to best-of-7 before the 2003 playoffs. The 2002 playoffs was the last time there was best-of-5.

The Flyers were eliminated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 2009 playoffs in 6 games.
There is no bye in the Divisional (2nd round) playoff games. The first and second seeded teams in each conference each get a bye week in the Wildcard (1st) round of the playoffs.
In the NFL, yes. The wildcard round is the first round of the NFL Playoffs.
As of the start of the 2007 playoffs, no. The most 'sweeps' in the first round of the playoffs has been two and that has happened many times. But never have three teams swept in the first round of the MLB playoffs much less all four teams.
The Canucks defeated the Chicago Blackhawks in 7 games.
They defeated the Miami Heat four games to one.

A team gets the first round bye in the playoffs if it has one of the top two records in its conference.
I hope this answers the question. Each of the 2 teams that compete against each other play one day and then get the next day off. Whoever wins a series (not the Stanley Cup Finals)(example: The quarterfinals) gets about 4-7 days before there next opponent .
Depends, most can be 7 games and least can be 4 games, you have to win 4 games to go to the next round
