1990 NHL Playoffs

Adams Division

Quebec and Montreal meet for the fifth straight year. Montreal won 3 of those series, but lose for the 2nd time this year. Paul Coffey led the way with 8 points for the first place Nordiques. Boston and Hartford have met 4 times in the last 5 years. Each coming away with 2 series victories. Lets call this year the tiebreaker. After a big game one win, the Whalers could not stay with Boston in any game. Bruins dispose of Hartford in 5. Quebec is just a little bit better then Boston in every game of their Adams division final series. The Nords win three 1 goal games, sweeping the Bruins out of the playoffs.

Patrick Division

Last year, the Pens provided the first round’s biggest upset, beating the presidents trophy winners. This year, the Flyers had revenge on their minds, and make no mistakes. They sweep Pittsburgh. The Rangers eliminated the Devils in each of the last two years. That doesn’t happen this year. New Jersey wins the first two on MSG ice, and takes the series in 5. The Flyers continue to try and shed the playoff choking moniker I gave them last year, by beating the Devils in 5. They are 8-1 so far in the playoffs, and off to take on Quebec in the semi finals!

Norris Division

Detroit and Chicago is the 5th rematch from last year so far. Unlike last year’s 7 game series, this one is not that close. Mario Lemieux had 14 points in the Red Wings 5 game win, dominating the Blackhawks again. Game two of the Minnesota St. Louis series results in one of the most lopsided playoff games in NHL history. Minnesota wins that one, 11-1, and eventually takes the series in 6. After a big first round, Lemieux runs out of gas again in the 2nd round, to a point. In Detroit’s 2 wins, Lemieux scores 5 goals. In their 4 losses, Lemieux gets 2 points. North Stars upset Detroit in 6!

Smythe Division

The Battle of Alberta has Edmonton looking for just their 2nd series win in franchise history. The Oilers shut down the Flames scoring, until game 6, when Calgary scores a series high 5 goals. The thing is Edmonton got 7. Oilers upset the Flames in 6! The Canucks and Jets battle it out in the only seven game series of round one. The full seven games wasn’t enough, as overtime was needed. Greg Gilbert scored the OT winner for Winnipeg after almost a full period of extra action. In the division final, the Oilers use two, 1-0 wins, plus a broken game that gave them home ice advantage, to win the series in 7, advancing to their first ever conference finals!

Wales Conference Finals

Quebec’s Paul Maclean is kicked out of game one in the first period after a delay of game penalty, that led to a game misconduct. He must have really hated that call! The two teams exchanged goals in the first and second periods, leading to overtime. At 2:59 of OT, Bob Kudelski scores on a Bill Berg rebound. 3-2 Flyers! Steve Yzerman’s first of the series gives the Flyers a 2-1 lead after the first period of game two. Bob Kudelski makes it 3-1, but Doug Gilmour and Yuri Khmylev tie it before the end of the 2nd. In the third, Geoff Courtnall scores with 3 minutes left, the winning goal! 4-3 Flyers!

Kudelski scores the overtime goal to in game one!

Back at home, with a chance to put a strangle hold on Quebec, the Flyers step up to the challenge. Kudelski gets his third of the series 44 seconds in. Then Dave Barr and Gino Cavallini score 7 seconds apart. It’s 4-1 after a period, and 5-2 is the final. Flyers lead the series 3-0! Doug Gilmour, who seems like the only Nordique to show up in this series, gets his 4th goal, and 5th point to open the scoring in game four. That was it for Quebec’s scoring though. Steve Yzerman scores twice in the third, and the Flyers cruise to an easy 4-1 win. Philly sweeps!

Campbell Conference Finals

Many of these North Stars won two cups earlier in the decade, so they have experience playing this far into the season. The Oilers don’t. It showed early, Minnesota scores 4 goals in a 4:03 span of the first period. Edmonton gets two back in the 2nd, but Dino Ciccarelli scores late to end any Oiler comeback bid. Minnesota wins game one, 6-2. Dino Ciccarelli and Doug Crossman each score twice, helping the Stars build a 4-0 lead halfway through the third period of game two. The Oilers then started a comeback. Claude Lemieux gets them on the board. Dale Hawerchuk scores 10 seconds later. Steve Konroyd makes it a one goal game 2 mins after that, and we have a game! The Oilers get a few more chances in the dying seconds, but can’t tie it! Minny holds on to win it 4-3, but is this a momentum boost for Edmonton?

Ciccarelli scores three times in the first two games!

Joe Nieuwendyk scores in the first, giving the Oilers their first lead of the series in game three. That goal holds up for two periods, until Jeremy Roenick ties it. Dino Ciccarelli and John Cullen then get goals quickly in the middle of the third, dashing Edmonton hopes. 3-1 North Stars win. Game four sees Brian Leetch open the scoring, giving the Oilers another lead, but with 7 seconds left in the 2nd, Dave Hindmarch ties it. Backbreaking goal. The two teams remained tied until the final moments of the third. Troy Loney scores the winning goal for Edmonton, getting them on the board. To little, to late? Edmonton wins 2-1 to stay alive.

Troy Loney's late goal in game 4 keeps Edmonton alive.

Edmonton jumps out to a 2-0 lead very early, but the period doesn’t finish well for them. Randy Wood scores twice, and Dave Taylor adds one just before the buzzer, giving Minnesota a 3-2 lead. Joel Otto adds a fourth Minnesota goal early in the 2nd, but Nick Lidstrom gets it back early in the third, keeping Edmonton within one. After some pressure, Dave Taylor adds the all important insurance goal late, sealing it for Minny. 5-3 North Stars. They win the series in 5!
