Does anyone change their traing during the playoff?
I started the playoff with Sharks and won 4-0 in games against The Ducks..
Suddenly i had alot of players (mostly defence) that were tired and needed a rest.
So now i have put all players on general and train 80% PP and BP, 20% General.
I hope this will help the rest of the playoff.

Congrats!
My training schedule, is just practice guys really hard all year (all on medium or intensive) and whenever there condition goes below 90% I let them take a rest.

I have my players practice conditioning during pre-season.
They do positional positional stuff (Offensive/Defensive skills, shooting) from October - January, and then I put them all on conditioning again.
I rest them during Olympic and All-Star breaks.
If I have more than four daysbefore the start of a playoff series, I rest them for half the time before games start. I have started resting them during the first round as well. I've played the whole playoffs with my players resting for practices.

How does this work out for you? I always go into the playoffs with plans to rest my team the whole time, but I always chicken out and put them back on a light general schedule, because I think the lack of practice is letting them "dry out." Whether it is or not, I don't know, but I always think it is... and that could very well be what's screwing my team up every year (the practice schedule).
