Stanley cup 1982

The playoffs concluded on May 16 with the champion New York Islanders defeating the Vancouver Canucks 3—1 to win the final series four games to none and win the Stanley Cup. This was the first edition of the Stanley Cup playoffs conducted under a format that paired teams in each round with geographical regard to conferences. The first round of the playoffs saw three first-place teams Edmonton, Minnesota, and Montreal upset by fourth-place teams, a round which featured what is still the greatest comeback in NHL history: The Kings' 6—5 win over Edmonton in game three. After trailing 5—0 after two periods, the Kings scored five third period goals—three in the last , the final goal coming with only five seconds left in regulation. Los Angeles then scored on a face-off early in overtime, thus completing the " Miracle on Manchester ". The eventual champion New York Islanders nearly capitulated in the first round as well, losing games three and four of their first-round playoff series with Pittsburgh after crushing the Penguins in the first two games. In game five, the Islanders scored twice in the last five minutes to force overtime and then won the series on John Tonelli's goal into the extra session. This served as a wake-up call for New York, who lost only two more games the rest of the way on their march to a third straight Stanley Cup. Their Finals opponents, the Vancouver Canucks, finished the regular season with only 77 points, defeating three teams beneath them in the standings Calgary 75, Los Angeles 63, and Chicago 72 in the much weaker Campbell Conference. This remains the most recent time that the Detroit Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs missed the playoffs in the same season.

With the new "East vs. West" format in effect, the NHL opted to switch a format for the Finals to reduce travel compared to the traditional 2—2—1—1—1 format, although that was of no effect for these Finals since the result was a four-game sweep.
