Defenceman Ray Bourque, who had a 21-year tenure in Boston, won his first Stanley Cup in his final professional year. Joe Sakic, Swedish center Peter Forsberg, defenceman Rob Blake, and goalkeeper Patrick Roy claimed the Stanley Cup for the final time in their careers. Roy was also awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy, his third, the most by any player. No hat tricks were scored in the 2001 playoffs and goaltenders combined for a record 19 shutouts.https://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2001_games.html 2000-01 NHL Season Schedule and Results hockey-reference.com April 10, 2016 This was the first of ten consecutive seasons in which the Florida Panthers missed the playoffs, which became the longest playoff drought in NHL history (later equaled by the Edmonton Oilers); the record stood until the Buffalo Sabres surpassed it in 2022. This was also the most recent season in which the Boston Bruins and Tampa Bay Lightning missed the playoffs in the same year. To date, this is also the last season in which the two top seeds overall from each Conference made it to the Stanley Cup Final. Playoff seeds The top eight teams in each conference qualified for the playoffs. The top three seeds in each conference were awarded to the division winners; while the five remaining spots were awarded to the highest finishers in their respective conferences. The following teams qualified for the playoffs: Eastern Conference New Jersey Devils, Atlantic Division champions, Eastern Conference regular season champions – 111 pointshttps://www.hockey-reference.com/leagues/NHL_2001_standings.html 2000-01 NHL Standings hockey-reference.com April 10, 2016 Ottawa Senators, Northeast Division champions – 109 points Washington Capitals, Southeast Division champions – 96 points Philadelphia Flyers – 100 points Buffalo Sabres – 98 points Pittsburgh Penguins – 96 points Toronto Maple Leafs – 90 points Carolina Hurricanes – 88 points Western Conference Colorado Avalanche, Northwest Division champions, Western Conference regular season champions, Presidents' Trophy winners – 118 points Detroit Red Wings, Central Division champions – 111 points Dallas Stars, Pacific Division champions – 106 points St. Louis Blues – 103 points San Jose Sharks – 95 points Edmonton Oilers – 93 points Los Angeles Kings – 92 points Vancouver Canucks – 90 points Playoff bracket 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). The team with home ice advantage played at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team played at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The top eight teams in each conference made the playoffs, with the three division winners seeded 1–3 based on regular season record, and the five remaining teams seeded 4–8. The NHL used "re-seeding" instead of a fixed bracket playoff system. During the first three rounds, the highest remaining seed in each conference was matched against the lowest remaining seed, the second-highest remaining seed played the second-lowest remaining seed, and so forth. The higher-seeded team was awarded home ice advantage. The two conference winners then advanced to the Stanley Cup Final, where home ice advantage was awarded to the team that had the better regular season record. main Bracket 0 Conference quarterfinals Conference semifinals Conference finals Stanley Cup Final Eastern Conference Western Conference 1 New Jersey 4 8 Carolina 2 2 Ottawa 0 7 Toronto 4 3 Washington 2 6 Pittsburgh 4 4 Philadelphia 2 5 Buffalo 4 1 Colorado 4 8 Vancouver 0 2 Detroit 2 7 Los Angeles 4 3 Dallas 4 6 Edmonton 2 4 St. Louis 4 5 San Jose 2 1 New Jersey 4 7 Toronto 3 5 Buffalo 3 6 Pittsburgh 4 1 Colorado 4 7 Los Angeles 3 3 Dallas 0 4 St. Louis 4 1 New Jersey 4 6 Pittsburgh 1 1 Colorado 4 4 St. Louis 1 E1 New Jersey 3 W1 Colorado 4 Conference quarterfinals Eastern Conference quarterfinals (1) New Jersey Devils vs. (8) Carolina Hurricanes The New Jersey Devils finished first in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference during the regular season with 111 points.
