1989 Stanley Cup playoffs

Ice hockey playoffs August 2023 Stanley Cup playoffs 1989 April 5–May 25, 1989 16 Edmonton Oilers Calgary Flames Montreal Canadiens Scoring leader(s) Al MacInnis (Flames) 31 points MVP Al MacInnis (Flames) 1988 1990 right|175px|thumb|The Stanley Cup The 1989 Stanley Cup playoffs, the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) began on April 5, after the conclusion of the 1988–89 NHL season. This was the final year that all of the Division Semifinals began with teams playing the first four games in a span of five days. The playoffs concluded on May 25 with the champion Calgary Flames defeating the Montreal Canadiens 4–2 to win the Stanley Cup Final four games to two. It remains the last time that the Cup Final was contested between two Canadian hockey teams. Montreal finished the regular season with 115 points, only two behind the league leader Calgary. They had last faced each other in 1986, with Montreal winning in five games. Calgary was only the second opposing team in NHL history to win a Stanley Cup at the Montreal Forum (the New York Rangers defeated the Montreal Maroons in 1928) and the first and only to do so against the Canadiens. Flames defenceman Al MacInnis won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, while Lanny McDonald, who ended the regular season with exactly 500 goals, got his name on the Cup in his last NHL game. Flames co-owner Sonia Scurfield became the first Canadian woman to have her name inscribed on the Stanley Cup. Wayne Gretzky and the Los Angeles Kings met the defending champion Oilers in the first round. The Kings defeated the defending Stanley Cup champions after falling behind 3–1. However, they were swept by the eventual champion Calgary Flames in four games the next round. Philadelphia Flyers goaltender Ron Hextall became the first goaltender to actually score a goal in the playoffs, a shorthanded, empty-net goal in Game 5 of the Patrick Division Semifinal against the Washington Capitals. One round later, Mario Lemieux equaled four NHL-records (most goals in a game, most goals in a period, most points in a game, and most points in a period) by scoring five goals and eight points in a 10–7 Pittsburgh win in game five of the Patrick Division Finals. Hextall then made headlines in the Wales Conference Finals, attacking Montreal's Chris Chelios in the late stages of Game 6 as retribution for Chelios' unpenalized hit on Flyers forward Brian Propp in game one. Hextall received a 12-game suspension at the start of the 1989–90 season for his actions. Former Flyers head coach Mike Keenan led Chicago to the Campbell Conference finals in his first year behind the bench. The Blackhawks had 66 points, the fewest points of any playoff team this season, yet they upset first place Detroit and then St. Louis before losing to Calgary.Tribune Chicago 1989-04-03 BLACKHAWKS IN PLAYOFFS https://www.chicagotribune.com/1989/04/03/blackhawks-in-playoffs/ 2024-02-05 Chicago Tribune en-USHafner Dan 1989-04-03 Blackhawks Go 48 Extra Seconds to Get NHL's Final Playoff Spot https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-04-03-sp-722-story.html 2024-02-05 Los Angeles Times en-US Playoff seeds The top four teams in each division qualified for the playoffs, as follows: Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division Montreal Canadiens, Adams Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 115 points Boston Bruins – 88 points Buffalo Sabres – 83 points Hartford Whalers – 79 points Patrick Division Washington Capitals, Patrick Division champions – 92 points Pittsburgh Penguins – 87 points New York Rangers – 82 points Philadelphia Flyers – 80 points Clarence Campbell Conference Norris Division Detroit Red Wings, Norris Division champions – 80 points St. Louis Blues – 78 points Minnesota North Stars – 70 points Chicago Blackhawks – 66 points Smythe Division Calgary Flames, Smythe Division champions, Clarence Campbell Conference regular season champions, Presidents' Trophy winners – 117 points Los Angeles Kings – 91 points Edmonton Oilers – 84 points Vancouver Canucks – 74 points Playoff bracket In the division semifinals, the fourth seeded team in each division played against the division winner from their division. The other series matched the second and third place teams from the divisions. The two winning teams from each division's semifinals then met in the division finals. The two division winners of each conference then played in the conference finals. The two conference winners then advanced to the Stanley Cup Final. In each round, teams competed in a best-of-seven series following a 2–2–1–1–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each best-of-seven series). Home ice advantage was awarded to the team that had the better regular season record, and played at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary); the other team then played at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). main Bracket Division semifinals Division finals Conference finals Stanley Cup Final Prince of Wales Conference Clarence Campbell Conference A1 Montreal 4 A4 Hartford 0 A2 Boston 4 A3 Buffalo 1 P1 Washington 2 P4 Philadelphia 4 P2 Pittsburgh 4 P3 NY Rangers 0 N1 Detroit 2 N4 Chicago 4 N2 St. Louis 4 N3 Minnesota 1 S1 Calgary 4 S4 Vancouver 3 S2 Los Angeles 4 S3 Edmonton 3 A1 Montreal 4 A2 Boston 1 P4 Philadelphia 4 P2 Pittsburgh 3 N4 Chicago 4 N2 St. Louis 1 S1 Calgary 4 S2 Los Angeles 0 A1 Montreal 4 P4 Philadelphia 2 N4 Chicago 1 S1 Calgary 4 A1 Montreal 2 S1 Calgary 4 Division semifinals Prince of Wales Conference (A1) Montreal Canadiens vs. (A4) Hartford Whalers This was the fourth playoff series meeting between these two teams, and were meeting for the second straight year.

Calgary won two of the previous three meetings, including their most recent meeting 3–1 in the 1984 Smythe Division Semifinals. Calgary defeated Vancouver in seven games. This was the first of three consecutive series between these two teams that ended in overtime of game seven (with the winner of all three series making it to the Stanley Cup Final). The seventh game went into overtime with both teams having great chances to win the game. The best of these chances was a breakaway for Canucks' captain Stan Smyl who was stopped by Calgary goaltender Mike Vernon.

This was the Flames second appearance in the Finals, while Montreal was making their 33rd appearance in the Finals. Calgary was trying to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, while Montreal last won the Stanley Cup in 1986. The Stanley Cup Final was decided between the two teams with the best records of the 1988–89 NHL regular season. Co-captain Lanny McDonald scored the second Flames goal in Game 6. This turned out to be the last goal in his Hockey Hall of Fame career, as he retired during the following off-season. Doug Gilmour scored two goals in the third period, including the eventual game and Cup winner to cement their first title for the Flames. To date this remains the last all-Canadian Cup Final.
