Created my own NHL game with 32 teams and 84 games with each division only playing each other.

The only problem i have is that there's no playoffs once the regular season is over.

All good! The issue is solved. The reason why there was no playoffs because of an error in the schedule template.

They said they solved their issue, but common things that cause that:
Max games is set higher than number of games scheduled (under comp rules)
Scheduling template, not enough games played for each team (check to make sure the number of games scheduled for each team matches the comp rules max game)
Playoff dates, the draw date is before the regular season ends (make sure the draw date is AFTER the last day of the regular season)
Triggers are not correctly set from one stage to the next (check next upper stage triggers, the last one per conference or division matters)
Check Linked Stages preceding, make sure it's set correctly (# of teams matches previous stage playoffs)
Make sure all the rules are set for next round, specifically fate rules, qualified for next stage=true)
