No. How I understood it is that the top seed automatically qualifies for the quarters while the rest play-off for the final spots.
Canada has to win 6 games.
RR 1 - RR 2 - RR 3 - Quarter - Semi - Final
Or if they don't come in first (ahem... '06)
RR 1 - RR 2 - RR 3 - Playoff - Quarter - Semi - Final
