1968 Stanley Cup playoffs

NHL postseason tournament August 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs 1968 8 Toronto Maple Leafs(did not qualify) Montreal Canadiens St. Louis Blues 1967 1969 The 1968 Stanley Cup playoffs, was the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) for the 1967–68 season, and the first after the expansion from six to twelve teams. The playoff system was thus expanded from a four-team to an eight-team tournament, and was designed so that four of the new expansion teams would qualify for the postseason. The defending champion Toronto Maple Leafs did not qualify and a new champion would be crowned. The Montreal Canadiens would defeat the St. Louis Blues in four straight to win the Stanley Cup. Playoff seeds All of the Original Six teams were placed in the new Eastern Division, and all of the new teams placed in the new Western Division. The top four teams in each division made the playoffs. East Division Montreal Canadiens – 94 points New York Rangers – 90 points Boston Bruins – 84 points Chicago Black Hawks – 80 points West Division Philadelphia Flyers – 73 points Los Angeles Kings – 72 points St. Louis Blues – 70 points Minnesota North Stars – 69 points Playoff bracket In the first round, the first-place vs. third-place and second-place vs. fourth-place playoff format that had been in place for the previous 25 seasons was retained within the two divisions. The two winning teams from each division's first round series then met in the Stanley Cup semifinals. The two winners of the semifinals then advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. This format guaranteed that an expansion team would at least reach the Final, but also highlighted the competitive imbalance between the Original Six teams in the Eastern Division and the expansion teams in the Western Division. The imbalance was readily apparent in the final regular season standings, as the fourth-place team in the East Division had a better record than the top team in the West. In each round, teams competed in a best-of-seven series (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series).
