It was contested by the New York Islanders in their first-ever Final appearance and the Philadelphia Flyers, in their fourth Final appearance, and first since 1976. The Islanders would win the best-of-seven series, four games to two, to win their first Stanley Cup championship and the third for a post-1967 expansion team after Philadelphia's Cup wins in 1974 and 1975.

Ken Morrow joined the Islanders after winning the Olympic gold medal with the United States and added the Stanley Cup to cap a remarkable season. The deciding game six was marred by one of the most infamous blown official calls in NHL playoff history. With the game tied 1–1, the Islanders Butch Goring picked up a drop pass from New York left wing Clark Gillies which had clearly gone back over the Flyers' defensive zone blue line into center ice. Linesman Leon Stickle waved the play as on-side, and Goring threaded a pass to right wing Duane Sutter who beat Philadelphia goalie Pete Peeters for a 2–1 New York lead.Wilner Barry Crazyball: Sports Scandals, Superstitions and Sick Plays 2014 Taylor Trade Publishing New York 9781589799134 392 The Flyers argued vehemently to no avail. Everyone on both sides except Goring and Sutter appeared to relax as if play had been blown dead once the puck went over the blue line. Flyers captain Mel Bridgman stated the play changed the momentum of the game at a critical time even though the Flyers scored shortly afterwards to tie the score 2–2. Stickle admitted after the game that he had blown the call. Ultimately, it was the Flyers lack of discipline and the resulting Islander power play goals that were the difference in the series. Bryan Trottier was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoffs MVP, recording 29 points in 21 games.

Coach) Jim Devellano (Chief Scout), Gerry Ehman (Western Scout) Harry Boyd (Scout), Mario Saraceno (Scout) Ron Waske (Trainer), Jim Pickard (Asst. Trainer) A [A] Two players had their names engraved on the Stanley Cup, even though they did not officially qualify. #17 Alex McKendry (LW) – played 2 regular season and 6 playoff games (none in the playoffs) #3 Jean Potvin (D) – played 32 regular season games, spending the whole season with the Islanders. He did not play in the playoffs. Ken Morrow became the first player to win the Olympic Gold (with Team United States), and Stanley Cup (with New York Islanders) in the same year. Al Arbour became the fourth person to win the Stanley Cup with four teams. Arbour won the Stanley Cup as a player with Detroit 1954, Chicago 1961, and Toronto 1962. 1964. The other three people to win cup with four teams are Jack Marshall, Harry (Happy) Holmes, and Tommy Gorman. Bryan Trottier was first Metis player to win the Stanley Cup Bob Nystrom, Anders Kallur and Stefan Persson were the first three Swedish born-trained players to win the Stanley Cup. Kallur and Persson were also the first European-trained players to win the Stanley Cup. Broadcasting Bob Cole, Dan Kelly, and Jim Robson shared play-by-play duties for CBC's coverage. Cole did play-by-play for the first half of games one and two. Meanwhile, Kelly did play-by-play for the rest of games 1–5 (Kelly also called the overtime period of game one). Finally, Robson did play-by-play for the first half of games 3–4 and game six entirely, he also would've called game seven had there been one. In essence, this meant that Cole or Robson did play-by-play for the first period and the first half of the second period (except for game five in which the roles of Kelly and Robson were switched). Therefore, at the closest stoppage of play near the ten-minute mark of the second period, Cole or Robson handed off the call to Kelly for the rest of the game. In the United States, the first five games were syndicated by the Hughes Television Network. Hughes used CBC's Hockey Night in Canada feeds for the American coverage. Game six was televised in the United States by the CBS network, as a special edition of its CBS Sports Spectacular anthology series. Dan Kelly did the play-by-play for CBS for the first and third periods as well as overtime. Meanwhile, Tim Ryan did play-by-play for the second period while Lou Nanne served as the color commentator throughout the game. Game six remains the last Stanley Cup Final game to be played in the afternoon (earlier than 5 p.m. local time). This would also be the last NHL game to air on U.S. network television until NBC televised the 1990 All-Star Game.
