85/86 Playoffs

Round 1(3) Philadelphia for us which has Messier-McDonald-Anderson but not much else. Tie of the round is Minnesota-STL. We sweep Phil 3-0. every others series is tied at 1, except Minnesota 2-0 Stl. Edmonton and Detroit both survive theirs series 3-2.

Round 2(7) We get the Devils, again with Roy and Coffey, they've not been a challenge in the last few years. Detroit and Edmonton need to get past the last two SC champions in Min and Vancouver. Boston who beat us 3 times this season have Montreal. After 4 games the 3 top teams are in 2-2 struggle with their respective teams. We survive to win 7-1 in game 7, Edmonton through, but Boston and Detroit out. Gretzky vs Lemieux will have to wait

Round 3(7) We have Montreal who were 10th in the league, they have Peter and Anton Stastny with Jari Kurri. khomuto Nicholls and Verbeek complete a very handy top 6 forwards. However their defence and goalie are among the worst in the league. Should be a shoot out.
Minnesota defneding champs are 5th facing off against Edmonton, its the star defenders Greshcner-Murphy-Wilson-Reinhart, against 4 attackers of Lemieux-Francis-Hull-Robitaille. That should be fireworks as well.

Both series go to 7 games, We beat Mont 11-6 in the final game, in a series that had 5 games go to 10 goals or more, and Minnesota beat Edmonton in OT 3-2 for a third Min-NYR stanley cup final!

*Stanley Cup Final* Although they've not been as sdtrong as recent seasons, both teams are still stacked. Lets see who wins the 3rd match up of the 80's, having both 1 won stanley cup against the other so far.

Game 1: NYR 7-0 MNS Andreychuk at the double for a dominant win 69 shot attempts to 48.

Game 2: NYR 5-4 MNS: Min gight back after that trouncing and take a 2-0 lead in the first. Larry Murphy and Ron Sutter. Sylvain Turgeon who got 87 pts in the regular season, gets his 9th of the playoffs. 2nd Period teams trade 4 goals to leave Min 4-3 up into the 3rd period. However Neely and Andreychuk with his 2nd of the game, and 4th in this series puts us in the driver seat.

Game 3: MNS 4-6 NYR: The game is decided in the third period. The first two are tight with the teams trading a goal in each period. 3rd period is just wild, and the craziest minute of hockey i've ever seen. Reed Larson and Tim Kerr put us 4-2 up after we simply dominate the first 15 mins of the period. Then at 17:12 Ron Sutter scores, and 20 seconds later he scores again to tie it at 4! Before they can even celebrate Brad Park scores 6 seconds later for 3 goals in less than 30 seconds! Then at 18:!8 he scores again. 4 goals in a minute and 4 seconds, gives us the 3-0 series lead!

Game 4: MNS 6-3 NYR: Minnesota get on the board with a thumping of the Rangers. Where has this team been, they have 98 shot attempts to our 47, The score board reflects it its 6-1 after 2 periods. We make it respectiable in the third with the only 2 goals, but Minnesota was dominant.

Game 5: NYR 5-4 MNS Minnesota smelling a comeback here! Even game with shots 32-30 for the Rangers, Mike O'Connell with only goal in first, and then Eklund and Bjugstad score with assists from O'Connell on both are inbetween Vaive and Larson goals to make it 3-2 to Min after 2.O'Connel is the 3rd line defender for Min, showing his superstar defenders how its done! In the third, Greschner gets a goal but 2 in 30 seconds from Propp and Andreychuk make it 4-4. Eklund scores again at 5 minutes to give Minnesota the 5-4 lead, and win as it turns out, as no more goals are scored

Game 6: MNS 6-5 NYR Minnesota have tied the series and this game hurts. A 5 goal 1st period with two late goals from Nilsson and Martin give them the 3-2 lead. The second the Rangers come storming back to lead 5-4 with James Patrick scoring the go ahead goal. Bob Gainey from Mike O'Connell again ties it at 13:01 of the third. Its overtime, and Doug Wilson
who's had a quiet series shows up when it counts with the game winner.
Its the first time we've gone to 7 and its our THIRD game 7 in a row. ONe last chance for us not to thow this away.

Game 7 NYR 2-6 MNS, They do it, what a way to win, and another crushing defeat for the Rangers. in an even game Rangers out shoot Min 44-39, but pay for a lousy 2nd period. Slyain Turgeon gives us the lead with his 14th goal, by Brent Ashton equalises. 2nd period Ron and Doug Wilson score at the 12th and 13th minues, Federko at the 15th and Maclellan at the 19th. Their goalie makes saves, ours doesn't, Lindberg again is the difference, just like last year. Third Perios, Cloutier scores early, but Nilsson slams the door shut with the 6th at the 14 minutes mark and Minnesota go back to back and the MSG faithful are not happy. Thats 2 cups out of 7 in the 80's after winning them all in the 70s.

Top Scorer in thye playoffs is our defender Reed Larson on 38, Cloutier 35, Lemieux 34 in 6 games less and Nilsson top scores for Min with 33. Turgeon for us got 33. He'll deserve top line minutes next yeat. Vaive and Kerr are dissapointing as is Steen.
