The bracket is below with the home settings for each team underneath that.
We'll play it with the following series format.

RULES...
The NHL regular season wrapped up over the weekend and the playoff brackets are set...so I figured we'd run our own quick Stanley Cup quest on CC.
This is a 1-vs.-1 tourney that will follow the playoffs, so pick which of the 16 teams you want to represent and win your best-of-7 series to advance through the bracket. Open to freemium players, as long as you keep at least one slot open for a game...we'll be playing 2 or 3 in a week.
