In the 1985 playoffs the format is still the one from 1979-80!
It should have changed to the 1981-82 Format as described below.
I did not change any settings manually in the league setup.
...
1981-82 - The first four teams in each division earned playoff berths. In each division, the first-place team opposed the fourth-place team and the second-place team opposed the third-place team in a best-of-five Division Semifinal (DSF) series. In each division, the two winners of the DSF met in a best-of-seven Division Final (DF) series. The two winners in each conference met in a best-of-seven Conference Final (CF) series. In the Prince of Wales Conference, the Adams Division winner opposed the Patrick Division winner; in the Clarence Campbell Conference, the Smythe Division winner opposed the Norris Division winner. The two CF winners met in a best-of-seven Stanley Cup Final (F) series.

I can confirm there is still an issue with the 80's playoff formats in version 1.5.20. In 1984-85 I had a Vancouver vs Calgary Cup final which would have been great if it was actually possible. That year the playoff matchups seemed to be random each round. First round there was a #1 rank vs #10 rank from a different conference for example. I only have this one year's example as I was fast simming 10 years at a time and just happened to stop the game in June 1985 and looked at the playoff tree. I began this league in 1947.
