In the first round, the two highest remaining seeds were drawn against the two lowest remaining seeds; in the second round, the highest remaining seed was drawn against one of the two lowest. In each round the higher-seeded team was awarded home ice advantage, giving them a possible maximum of three home games as opposed to the lower-seeded team's possible maximum of two. Each best-of-five series followed a 1–2–1–1 format: the higher-seeded team played at home for games 2 and 3 (plus 5 if necessary), and the lower-seeded team at home for games 1 and 4 (if necessary).http://www.hockey.no/t2.asp?p=4916&x=1&a=82406 Norwegian Ice Hockey Association Sluttspill om Norgesmesterskapet menn 2003/2004 2004-03-28 2010-03-23 no https://web.archive.org/web/20110724081004/http://www.hockey.no/t2.asp?p=4916&x=1&a=82406 2011-07-24 dead The final was contested between the Storhamar Dragons and Vålerenga for the second consecutive year. In 2003, the championship had been decided in four straight games when Vålerenga won 4–0 to claim their 22nd title and 18th "double". As in the previous season, the 2004 final was played as a best-of-seven series following a 1–1–1–2–1–1 format. Storhamar, as league champions, were seeded first and played at home for games 2, 4, 5 and 7. They took the lead after winning the first game 2–1 in overtime, but failed to capitalize, losing their first home game 0–4. The third and fourth games were both won by the home side. Game 5 saw Vålerenga achieve an away win in overtime to lead the series 3–2, but Storhamar came back to claim another overtime victory in Oslo and force a seventh, championship deciding game at Hamar OL-Amfi. A record 7,405 spectators turned out for the first game 7 in the history of the Norwegian Championship, in which Storhamar's Michael Smithurst scored the winning goal after 21 minutes and 54 seconds of overtime.http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/sport/article762784.ece Aftenposten Smithurst fikset festen 2004-03-28 2010-03-23 no https://web.archive.org/web/20110629133010/http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/sport/article762784.ece 2011-06-29 dead http://www.hockey.no/Display.aspx?wci=wiStat&wce=ceIncidents&MatchId=1736564&linkid=3 Norwegian Ice Hockey Association Boxscore Game 7: Storhamar – Vålerenga 2010-03-23 https://web.archive.org/web/20110724081147/http://www.hockey.no/Display.aspx?wci=wiStat&wce=ceIncidents&MatchId=1736564&linkid=3 2011-07-24 dead Bracket Quarter-finals Semi-finals Finals 170 y 1 Storhamar Dragons 3 8 Bergen Flyers 0 2 Vålerenga 3 7 Stjernen 1 3 Trondheim Black Panthers 1 6 Stavanger Oilers 3 4 Sparta Bears 3 5 Frisk Tigers 2 1 Storhamar Dragons 3 6 Stavanger Oilers 0 2 Vålerenga 3 4 Sparta Bears 1 1 Storhamar Dragons 4 2 Vålerenga 3 Source: hockey.no Norwegian Champions2004 Storhamar Dragons 5th Qualifying for UPC-ligaen 2004–05 Final standings TeamGP W OTW SOW OTL SOL L GF GA Pts 1Lillehammer (Q)6400101221413 2Comet (Q)6221001241512 3Manglerud Star6301114261911 4Hasle/Løren600000615390 GP = Games played; W = Wins; L = Losses; OTW = Overtime Wins; OTL = Overtime losses; SOW = Shootout Wins; SOL = Shootout losses; GF = Goals for; GA = Goals against; Pts = Points; Q = QualifiedSource: speaker.no Game log Qualifying for UPC-ligaen 2004–05 Game Log y Rounds 1–6 |- |Round 1 #EEEEEE 26 February 2004 18:30 CET Hasle/Løren Manglerud Star 4 – 7 (1–2, 1–2, 2–3) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685812&Sign=False Lars Olav Gaden Løren Ishall, Oslo 253 10 10 31 30 #eeffff 26 February 2004 18:30 CET Lillehammer Comet 3 – 4 (OT) (1–1, 0–1, 2–1, 0–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685811&Sign=False Owe Lüthcke Kristins Hall, Lillehammer 1,101 83 18 21 27 |- |Round 2 #EEEEEE 29 February 2004 17:00 CET Comet Manglerud Star 4 – 3 (SO) (1–0, 0–3, 2–0, 1–0, 2/5–1/5) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685814&Sign=False Yngvar Skau Jensen Halden Ishall, Halden 833 4 2 25 27 #eeffff 29 February 2004 17:00 CET Hasle/Løren Lillehammer 2 – 4 (1–2, 0–2, 1–0) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685813&Sign=False Kjetil Bøe Løren Ishall, Oslo 223 44 20 26 26 |- |Round 3 #EEEEEE 4 March 2004 18:30 CET Comet Hasle/Løren 7 – 2 (3–1, 2–0, 2–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685816&Sign=False Egil Andre Borge Halden Ishall, Halden 750 12 14 34 27 #eeffff 4 March 2004 18:30 CET Manglerud Star Lillehammer 1 – 3 (0–1, 1–0, 0–2) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685815&Sign=False Pål Idar Sørensen Manglerudhallen, Oslo 382 8 6 23 25 |- |Round 4 #EEEEEE 7 March 2004 17:00 CET Comet Lillehammer 0 – 2 (0–0, 0–1, 0–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685817&Sign=False Hans Petter Berg Halden Ishall, Halden 1,050 12 16 29 20 #eeffff 7 March 2004 17:00 CET Manglerud Star Hasle/Løren 8 – 2 (2–0, 4–2, 2–0) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685818&Sign=False Per Gustav Solem Manglerudhallen, Oslo 322 10 14 37 25 |- |Round 5 #EEEEEE 11 March 2004 18:30 CET Lillehammer Hasle/Løren 7 – 2 (2–1, 4–0, 1–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685819&Sign=False Tommy Søstumoen Kristins Hall, Lillehammer 850 2 4 42 25 #eeffff 11 March 2004 18:30 CET Manglerud Star Comet 2 – 3 (OT) (1–1, 1–1, 0–0, 0–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685820&Sign=False Yngvar Skau Jensen Manglerudhallen, Oslo 720 8 8 35 41 |- |Round 6 #EEEEEE 14 March 2004 17:00 CET Hasle/Løren Comet 3 – 6 (1–1, 2–1, 0–4) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685822&Sign=False Owe Lüthcke Løren Ishall, Oslo 500 10 12 22 40 #eeffff 14 March 2004 17:00 CET Lillehammer Manglerud Star 3 – 5 (2–1, 0–3, 1–1) http://toolbox.n3sport.no/Display.asp?wci=wiStat&wce=ceSubmit&btnMatchProtocol=True&MatchId=1685821&Sign=False Svein-Erik Edvartsen Kristins Hall, Lillehammer 1,280 8 4 19 25 References External links http://hockey.no/ no Category:Eliteserien (ice hockey) seasons Norway GET
