It was contested between the defending Campbell Conference champion Edmonton Oilers and the defending Wales Conference and four-time defending Stanley Cup champion New York Islanders. The upstart Oilers defeated the four-time defending champion Islanders to win their first Stanley Cup in franchise history, becoming the third post-1967 expansion team and first former World Hockey Association team to win the Cup, and also the first team based west of Chicago to win the Cup since the WCHL's Victoria Cougars became the last non-NHL team to win it in 1925. In the previous year's Stanley Cup Final, the Islanders had swept the Oilers in four straight games. The teams met again in 1984, with the Islanders seeking their fifth consecutive Stanley Cup championship. While both teams had improved on their regular season records from the previous season, Edmonton had progressed more and finished with the best record in the NHL for the first time in their short history. However, it was New York who received home-ice advantage, as they had in 1982 since the rules in place since 1982 dictated that home-ice advantage went to the conference that won the coin toss and in 1984 because the Wales Conference had more points in head-to-head play against the Campbell Conference. It was also the first time that the Finals was played under a 2–3–2 format.https://www.newspapers.com/clip/49231310/1984-nhl-playoff-format-2-3-2/ Playoff format changes made September 23, 1983 The Ottawa Citizen June 24, 2024 United Press International Ottawa, Ontario 40 Newspapers.com This was the third time during the era that the team with the worse record received a home-ice advantage, the other two being the 1968 and 1970. Home-ice advantage reverted to the team with the better record for the following Final, and the Final reverted to the former 2–2–1–1–1 format in the Final after that. This was the fifth straight Finals of teams that joined the NHL in 1967 or later. 2021, the Islanders' four consecutive Cup wins (1980, 1981, 1982, 1983) and their appearance in the 1984 Cup Final is an NHL record of 19 consecutive playoff series wins that currently stands unbroken. The 1984 Final was the third of nine consecutive Finals contested by a team from Western Canada, second of eight contested by a team from Alberta (the Oilers appeared in six, the Calgary Flames in two, the Vancouver Canucks in one), and the first of five consecutive Finals to end with the Cup presentation on Alberta ice (the Oilers won four times at home, the Montreal Canadiens once in Calgary). The Oilers became the fastest Canadian-based expansion team to win a major sports title by winning a title in only their fifth NHL season. The feat was eclipsed in 2016 by the Ottawa Redblacks, who won the Grey Cup in their third CFL season.Ralph Dan November 27, 2016 Ottawa Redblacks win upset victory at Grey Cup https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/article/ottawa-redblacks-win-upset-victory-at-grey-cup/ April 25, 2024 CTVNews en To date, this is the last time the Islanders have appeared in the Stanley Cup Final, and they currently hold the second longest Finals appearance drought in the league at 40 years, the longest of any American-based team. The only team with a longer Finals appearance drought are the Toronto Maple Leafs, who last made the Final in 1967. Paths to the Final 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs 1983–84 Edmonton Oilers season 1983–84 New York Islanders season Edmonton defeated the Winnipeg Jets 3–0, the Calgary Flames 4–3 and the Minnesota North Stars 4–0 to reach the Final. New York defeated the New York Rangers 3–2, the Washington Capitals 4–1, and the Montreal Canadiens 4–2 to reach the Final. Game summaries NOTE: In 1981, the NHL realigned it's conferences and divisions according to geographical regions. Along with this, it was decided to play the Stanley Cup Final in a 2-3-2 format, with home ice advantage being awarded to the division with the better aggregate record in interdivisional games. This format would be used until 1985, after which the Final would go back to a 2-2-1-1-1 format, with home ice going to the team with the better regular season record.

A [A] Basil Pocklington, father of Oilers owner Peter Pocklington, was initially engraved on the Stanley Cup. He was not directly associated with the team. The NHL subsequently marked out Basil's name on the trophy with X's. A new ring for the Cup was created in 1993, with winners from 1979 to 1991, but Basil Pocklington's name was not on it. When the Cup returned to the Hockey Hall of Fame, the abandoned ring had been damaged and could not be put back on the Stanley Cup. The Hockey Hall of Fame had Basil Pocklington's name put on the newly created Stanley Cup ring, then XXX'd out his name again. He was now listed beside his son Peter Pocklington, Owner. On the original rings, he was listed on a line between Peter Pocklington and Glen Sather. Basil's name was not added to the replica Stanley Cup also created in 1993. This is the main way people can tell the difference between the Presentation Stanley Cup and the Replica Stanley Cup. See 2004 Stanley Cup Final for the other way to tell the cups apart. Basil Pocklington was the only name that was XXX'd out until November 2021, when the Hall of Fame struck the name of 2009–10 Chicago Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich due to sexual assault allegations during that season.2021-11-03 Hall of Fame covers Brad Aldrich's name on Stanley Cup https://apnews.com/article/nhl-sports-hockey-chicago-chicago-blackhawks-acb2cb2d1c56e1caf965e3aa370f97cd 2021-11-06 AP NEWS en On the new ring, EDMONTON was misspelt "DDMONTON". An "E" was stamped twice over the first "D" to correct the mistake. Player notes Each team was required to play 20 players out of a 24-man roster. The Oilers engraved 21 players' names on the Cup, leaving off four players who were dressed in the playoffs. All four players left off the Stanley Cup were awarded a Stanley Cup ring and are included on the team picture. #33 Mike Zanier^ (G) – was dressed for two games in the final. He qualified to be engraved on the Stanley Cup. Edmonton did not include his name because he had not played in the NHL. The only NHL season for Zanier was 3 games in 1985 with the Oilers. #6 Rick Chartraw (D) – played four games for the NY Rangers, 24 for Edmonton, and one playoff game, spending half of the regular season playing in the minors. (He is on the Stanley Cup with Montreal 1976-77-78-79.) #28 Larry Melnyk (D) – played six playoff games (4 in the Conference Finals), but spent the regular season playing in the minors. #25 Raimo Summanen – (LW) played two games in the regular season and five playoff games.
