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 .
After a first round sweep of the Phoenix Coyotes, the Red Wings were defeated by the San Jose Sharks in 7 games in the second round (Western Conference Semifinals).
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 New Jersey Devils played the Pittsburgh Penguins and were eliminated in the first round, losing 4 games to 1.
The NBA changed the first round to best of 7 in 2003.

The Flyers were eliminated by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of the 2009 playoffs in 6 games.
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.

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.
