1989/1990 Playoffs

Richer is back and LeClair is the person who has to sit it out. Racine is out for months still, so back 6 picks itself. I'll have a tough call next year when Lidstrom comes up.

Round 1: Not an easy start, we have New Jersey who played us quite well this year, taking 5 points out of 16 from us, but most games were close. First two games are a blowout, but 1 by each team, two more high scoring games are shared, and we win a crucial game 5 in ot thanks to Steve Duchesne. Devils force another game 7...which we win 5-4/ In other series, Winnipeg stunned by the kings in 6, Edmonton out to the Canucks, but Detroit and Minnesota made it. We don't have an easy game, playing Washington next.

Round 2: Washington, led by Fedorov Scott Stevens Brian Leetch Craig Janney and Dino Ciccarelli. This will not be easy. So i put Cloutier back on top line. Another game 7, all home games were won, but we are out, 5-4 after falling behind 3-0 in the first period, a 3rd period come back isn't enough as Brian Leetch scores the 5-3 goal, and Bondra's reply isn't enough! Dissapointing!

Round 3: Detrroit looking ominous, they've lost 1 game so far in two series. They face Vancouver whilst Boston in 7 verses Montreal face Washington. Boston suprisngly beat Washington in 5 easily, and unsuprisngly Detroit do the same to Vancouver.

Stanley Cup Final: Gretzky Red Wings vs Bourque Bruins. 4 100 points scorers for Boston, in Bourque, Hawerchuk, Geoff Courtnall and Sergei Makarov. They finshed 5th with 95 points and +79 goal differential. Gretzky Red Wings, 116 points 117 goal differential, with Bellows and Klima joining Gretzky on 100 points. This series will come down to Bourque slowing down Gretzky.

Game1: Detroit 3-2 Boston. Boston play well in an even game, but can't light the lamp enough. Gretzky 2 assists.

Game2: Detroit 3-6 Boston. Boston dominate this one, 40 shots to 28. Bourque can def slow Gretzky, who gets 1 assist. Makarov and Hawerchuk are the ones dominating.

Game3: Boston 3-6 Detroit: Boston take the leadin the first period, and make it 2-0 early in the second, but Gretzky gets 3 points as the Red Wings score 5 in the 2nd, to take a 5-3 lead. Another Gretzky point gives them the 2-1 series lead. You feel Boston have to win hte next one.

Game4: Boston 3-5 Detroit. Detroit out shoot boston 30-20, and take a stranglehold, Gretzky gets a goal and an assist.

Game5: Detroit 3-4 Boston. Great win for Boston, even game at the Joe. 25-22 shots for Detroit, Red Wings ahead 3-2 after 2 periods with help from 2 Gretzky goals, but Boston score 2 in the third to win the game, guess who, bu Hawerchuk and Makarov getting them though.

Stats in the playoffs Gretzkyh has 44 points, Makarov and Hawerchuk 35 and 33. Can Boston win one at the Garden to get to game 7?

Game6: Boston 7-5 Detroit. Yes they can and what a game. Boston get out shot 51-35 but somehow win. They go 3-0 in the first period with Geoff Courtnall star of the show klima equalises. Then HAwerchuk and Lukowich with his 2nd of the game, makes it 5-1 Boston. This is where Detroit take over, and Boston barely has a shot in the next 10 mins. Gretzky and Roberts score to make it 5-3 after 2.Boston go 7-3 up with pretty much their only 2 atacks of the period, and despite 2 late detroit goals they win. Hasek has an absolute mare of a game.

Game7: Will Hasek bounce back, or will Ray Bourque get a cup with the Bruins?. GAME 7 is decided by the odd goal in 9. Geoff Courtnall followed by Sergei Makarov gets the bruins 2-0 after one. Detroit however STORMS the second period, with 4 goals. Gretzky has a goal and an assist. However Ray Bourque with a crucial goal gets them to withint one at 3-4 after 2 periods. Third period the ice is slanted towards the bruins net, but Dale Hawerchuk assisted by Makarov ties it! Geoff Courtnall is the man of the 3rd period, but in a bad way, he gives up two crucial penalties giving Gretzky two power play chances. He whiffs on the first, but not the second, he sets up Brian Bellows with 2 mins 19 seconds remaining for Detroit to win thier second cup with Gretzky! Ggretzky gets 49 points in the playoffs and a cert for the Conn Smythe.

Hart: Gretzky
Conn Smythe: Gretzky
Vezina:Barrasso (WPG)
Norris Al Iafrate for the Rangers!
Calder: Turcotte(MIN) Who i traded awy for ends up 77pts in 79 games!

Hart: Gretzky
