The playoffs concluded on May 19 with the Edmonton Oilers defeating the four-time defending champion New York Islanders 5–2 to win the Stanley Cup Final four games to one, the franchise's first Stanley Cup. Playoff seeds The top four teams in each division qualified for the playoffs, as follows: Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division Boston Bruins, Adams Division champions – 104 points (49 wins) Buffalo Sabres – 103 points Quebec Nordiques – 94 points Montreal Canadiens – 75 points Patrick Division New York Islanders, Patrick Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 104 points (50 wins) Washington Capitals – 101 points Philadelphia Flyers – 98 points New York Rangers – 93 points Clarence Campbell Conference Norris Division Minnesota North Stars, Norris Division champions – 88 points St. Louis Blues – 71 points Detroit Red Wings – 69 points Chicago Black Hawks – 68 points Smythe Division Edmonton Oilers, Smythe Division champions, Clarence Campbell Conference regular season champions – 119 points Calgary Flames – 82 points Vancouver Canucks – 73 points (32 wins) Winnipeg Jets – 73 points (31 wins) 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. Home ice advantage in the conference finals and the Stanley Cup Final was modified this season so it would be awarded to the team whose division (conference finals) or conference (Stanley Cup Final) had the better record against the other during the regular season, instead of having it rotate by division and conference, respectively.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49187372/1984-nhl-playoff-format-best-division/ Drumming interest aim of NHL scheme 23 September 1983 The Windsor Star 21 April 2020 United Press International Windsor, Ontario C3 Newspapers.com This resulted in home-ice advantage for the Adams and Smythe division champions in the conference finals and resulted in home-ice advantage for the Wales Conference champion in the Stanley Cup Final.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49233132/1984-nhl-playoff-format-adams/ NHL Playoffs 15 March 1984 The Leader-Post 21 April 2020 Associated Press Regina, Saskatchewan B2 Newspapers.com Each division semifinals series was competed in a best-of-five playoff following a 2–2–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each series), with the team with home ice advantage playing at home for games one and two (and game five, if necessary), and the other team playing at home for game three (and game four, if necessary).
