NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Habs @ Bruins "The 1970 Boston Bruins Big, Bad and Bobby"
The 1970–71 Boston Bruins season was the Bruins' 47th season in the NHL. As defending champions, Boston set many NHL records. They earned 54 wins and 121 points, surpassing the previous records set by the 1968-69 Montreal Canadiens. They also scored 399 goals to shatter their own record set in 1968-69, and their goal differential of +192 surpassed the previous record set by the 1943-44 Montreal Canadiens as well. The NHL's top four scorers (Phil Esposito, Bobby Orr, Johnny Bucyk, and Ken Hodge), each with over 100 points, were all Bruins; previously, there had only been four players in the history of the NHL with 100-point seasons, and no other NHL franchise has ever produced the top four scorers in a season (the Bruins replicated the feat in 1973-74). With 76 goals and 152 points, Esposito broke Bobby Hull's single season record for goals, as well as his own single season points record, both set in 1968-69. Finally, with 102 assists, Orr broke the single season record for most assists that he set the previous year. However, the team's unprecedented offence was shutdown by rookie goaltender Ken Dryden, who guided the Montreal Canadiens to a seven-game upset against the Bruins in the first round of the playoffs. All of the Bruins' aforementioned records have since been broken: The Montreal Canadiens earned 58 wins and 127 points in 1975-76. Montreal earned a goal differential of +216 in 1976-77. Wayne Gretzky scored 109 assists and 164 points in 1980-81. Gretzky scored 92 goals while the Edmonton Oilers scored 417 total goals in 1981-82. Offseason Bobby Orr signed the NHL's first one million dollar contract (to be paid out over five years). Regular season The 1970–71 Bruins set an NHL record by having 10 different skaters score 20 goals or more in a season. The record was broken by the 1977–78 Bruins when they had 11 different skaters with 20 goals or more. Playoffs The postseason ended quickly for the Bruins as they lost in the opening round to the Montreal Canadiens and their rookie goaltender Ken Dryden in a seven-game upset.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Bruins @ Sabres "1993 NHL Adams Division Semi Finals" game 4
The 1993 Stanley Cup playoffs the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) began after the conclusion of the 1992–93 NHL season on April 18 and ended with the Montreal Canadiens defeating the Los Angeles Kings four games to one to win the Stanley Cup on June 9. These playoffs featured an NHL record 28 overtime games, of which the Canadiens set a playoff record for most overtime games won and consecutively in a single postseason with ten. The Canadiens also won 11 consecutive games during the playoffs, tying an NHL record. The Presidents' Trophy-winning Pittsburgh Penguins, who had won the Stanley Cup the previous two years, were the favorite to repeat. However, both conferences saw numerous upsets as the third place team in every division reached their respective conference finals. This was the first time since the 1979 NHL-WHA merger that the Edmonton Oilers had missed the playoffs. It was also the first time that longtime Oilers and then-New York Rangers captain Mark Messier had missed the playoffs in his career. This was the only year between 1984 and 1994 that the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens did not face each other in the playoffs. This was the last time that the New York Islanders won a playoff round before 2016. It was also the first time in the post-1967 expansion era that no team with a losing record qualified for the playoffs. Montreal's Cup championship remains the last time that a Canadian team won the Stanley Cup. Adams Division Boston Bruins, Adams Division champions – 109 points Quebec Nordiques – 104 points Montreal Canadiens – 102 points Buffalo Sabres – 86 points Prince of Wales Conference (A1) Boston Bruins vs. (A4) Buffalo Sabres This was the sixth playoff series meeting between the Sabres and Bruins. Boston won all five previous series head-to-head, including last year's Adams Division Semifinals in seven games. Although Boston had entered the playoffs with the second best record in the entire NHL and the Sabres had the second lowest point total of any playoff team, Buffalo upset the Bruins by sweeping the heavily favored Boston squad. The fourth game saw Brad May's game-winning goal in overtime, which has become famous in NHL lore thanks to Rick Jeanneret's "May day!" call. This was the first playoff series victory for Buffalo since defeating Montreal in the 1983 Adams Division Semifinals.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Habs @ Bruins "1978 Stanley Cup Playoffs" Guy Lafleur Wins Conn Smythe
The 1978 Stanley Cup Finals was the championship series of the National Hockey League's (NHL) 1977–78 season, and the culmination of the 1978 Stanley Cup playoffs. It was contested between the Boston Bruins and the defending champion Montreal Canadiens, making their third straight appearance in the Finals. The series was a rematch of the 1977 Stanley Cup Finals. The Canadiens won the best-of-seven series, four games to two, to win their third consecutive Stanley Cup championship and their 21st overall. This was the last time that both the Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens met in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Canadiens eventually joined the Bruins in the Adams Division in 1982. Defenceman Larry Robinson of Montreal led all players with 17 assists, and finished tied with teammate Guy Lafleur with 21 points, to win the Conn Smythe Trophy. Montreal defeated the Detroit Red Wings 4–1 and the Toronto Maple Leafs 4–0 to advance to the final. Boston defeated the Chicago Black Hawks 4–0 and the Philadelphia Flyers 4–1 to make it to the final.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Devils @ Bruins "1988 Prince of Wales Conference final" game 7
The 1988 Stanley Cup playoffs, the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL), began on April 6, after the conclusion of the 1987–88 NHL season. It concluded on May 26, with the defending champion Edmonton Oilers defeating the Boston Bruins to win their second straight Stanley Cup and fourth in five years. The Stanley Cup The Presidents' Trophy winning Calgary Flames had home ice advantage during the playoffs thanks in part to Edmonton's struggles without Wayne Gretzky, who missed 16 games due to injury. The Oilers, who had won the Cup in three of the previous four seasons, were still thought to have a good chance at repeating with Gretzky's return. The clash between the Flames and Oilers in the Smythe Division Final was highly anticipated. The New Jersey Devils made the playoffs for the first time since their move from Denver, winning in overtime at Chicago Stadium on the season's final day to edge the New York Rangers for the Patrick Division's fourth spot. This was only the second time they made the playoffs including their Colorado and Kansas City days. The 1988 playoffs most notable moment was the cancellation of game four of the finals in Boston after fog issues, a result of high heat and the subsequent building power outage resulted in the game being canceled outright with the result not counting, yet the league retained player stats from the game. The series would move directly on to Edmonton. Gretzky would go on to set NHL playoff records with 31 assists in 18 games and 13 points in the Stanley Cup Finals. Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division Montreal Canadiens, Adams Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 103 points Boston Bruins – 94 points Buffalo Sabres – 85 points Hartford Whalers – 77 points Patrick Division New York Islanders, Patrick Division champions – 88 points Washington Capitals – 85 points (38 wins, 9 points head-to-head vs. Philadelphia) Philadelphia Flyers – 85 points (38 wins, 5 points head-to-head vs. Washington) New Jersey Devils – 82 points (38 wins) Prince of Wales Conference final (A2) Boston Bruins vs. (P4) New Jersey Devils This was the first playoff meeting between these two teams. This series featured the infamous confrontation between Devils coach Jim Schoenfeld and referee Don Koharski after Game 3, when, during an argument in the tunnel after the game, Koharski tripped and fell, accusing Schoenfield of pushing him. Schoenfield famously responded, "Good, 'cause you fell you fat pig!" Then, he yelled "Have another doughnut! Have another doughnut!" The incident has since become part of NHL lore.[1] Schoenfeld was suspended by NHL president John Ziegler for Game 4, but the Devils received an injunction from the New Jersey Supreme Court, allowing Schoenfeld to coach the fourth game. In protest, the officials scheduled to work that game in the Meadlowands refused to take the ice, forcing the NHL to scramble for amateur officials to call the game. The injunction was lifted, the league conducted a proper hearing, Schoenfeld served his suspension during Game 5 in the Boston Garden, and the League officials returned to work.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Habs @ Bruins "1991 Adams Division Semi Finals" Game 7
The 1991 Stanley Cup playoffs for the National Hockey League (NHL) championship began on April 3, 1991, following the 1990–91 regular season. The 16 teams that qualified, from the top four teams of the four divisions, played best-of-seven series with re-seeding after the division finals. The Conference Champions played a best-of-seven series for the Stanley Cup. This was the first of the 25 consecutive years in which the Detroit Red Wings qualified for the Stanley Cup playoffs until their streak finally ended in 2017. Their streak is tied for the third longest in NHL history, and while it was running, it was the longest active playoff appearance streak in the four major American professional sports. The finals concluded on May 25 with the Pittsburgh Penguins winning the Stanley Cup, defeating the Minnesota North Stars in the final series four games to two. Pittsburgh forward Mario Lemieux was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as Most Valuable Player of the playoffs. This was the first NHL playoffs without any series sweeps since the 1973 playoffs. In addition, this season set the record for most playoff games played with 92, which stood until 2014. Playoff seeds In the 1990–91 season, teams qualified based on their division standing at the end of the regular season. Playoffs then proceeded among the top four teams in each division, providing a division winner. The two division winners of each conference then played off to provide a conference winner. The two conference winners then played in the Finals to produce a Stanley Cup champion. The following teams qualified for the playoffs: Prince of Wales Conference Adams Division Boston Bruins, Adams Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 100 points Montreal Canadiens – 89 points Buffalo Sabres – 81 points Hartford Whalers – 73 points Division finals Prince of Wales Conference (A1) Boston Bruins vs. (A2) Montreal Canadiens This was the eighth straight and 26th overall playoff meeting between these two teams.

Boston made their second consecutive and fourth overall Conference Finals appearance; they defeated the Washington Capitals the previous year in a four-game sweep. This was the first conference final for Pittsburgh since the playoffs went to a conference format starting in 1982. Pittsburgh last played a semifinal series in 1970 where they lost to the St. Louis Blues in six games. These teams split their three-game regular season series.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" Rangers @ Islanders "1984 Patrick Division Semi Finals" game 5
The 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs, the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) began on April 4, after the conclusion of the 1983–84 NHL season. The playoffs concluded on May 19 with the Edmonton Oilers defeating the four-time defending champion New York Islanders 5–2 to win the Stanley Cup Finals four games to one, the franchise's first Stanley Cup. (P1) New York Islanders vs. (P4) New York Rangers This was the sixth playoff series meeting between these two teams. The Islanders won four of the previous five meetings, including in each of the past three seasons. The Islanders won in six games in last year's Patrick Division Finals. The 1984 playoffs largely maintained the format used for the previous two seasons. The four teams with the best regular-season records from each of the four divisions secured playoff berths. The division semi-finals saw the first-place club against the fourth-place team, while the other two teams played against each other. The winning clubs then met in the division final. Home-ice advantage for these first two rounds of the playoffs were granted to the team with the better regular-season record. Division winners then met one another in the conference finals. Leaving behind the coin flip system introduced for the 1982 playoffs, the NHL changed the method by which home-ice advantage is determined for the final two rounds. The higher point total accumulated by teams within a division from contests against teams of the other division in the conference, secured home-ice advantage for the corresponding division champion. Similarly, the higher point total accumulated by teams within a conference from contests against teams of the other conference, secured home-ice advantage for the corresponding conference champion. This formula resulted in home-ice advantage for the Adams and Smythe division champions in the conference finals and resulted in home-ice advantage for the Wales Conference champion in the Stanley Cup finals. The sequence of Stanley Cup Finals games was changed for this season. The series opened with two games at the venue of the team with home-ice advantage and then shifted to the opponent's rink for the next three games, including the fifth (if necessary). The series then returned to the initial venue for the final two games (if necessary). Prince of Wales Conference Patrick Division New York Islanders, Patrick Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 104 points (50 wins) Washington Capitals – 101 points Philadelphia Flyers – 98 points New York Rangers – 93 points April 4 New York Rangers 1–4 New York Islanders Nassau Coliseum Recap April 5 New York Rangers 3–0 New York Islanders Nassau Coliseum Recap April 7 New York Islanders 2–7 New York Rangers Madison Square Garden Recap April 8 New York Islanders 4–1 New York Rangers Madison Square Garden Recap April 10 New York Rangers 2–3 OT New York Islanders Nassau Coliseum Recap New York Islanders won series 3–2 Stanley Cup Finals This was the third playoff series meeting between these two teams. New York won both previous meetings, and was a rematch of New York's four-game sweep in last year's Stanley Cup Finals. The Islanders attempted to match the 1950s Montreal Canadiens and win the Stanley Cup five consecutive times, against the Edmonton Oilers attempting to win the franchise's first championship. The Islanders lost the first game at home 1–0, but bounced back to defeat the Oilers 6–1 in the second game. Edmonton took over the series from that point, winning the next three games, all played in Edmonton.

NHL '94 "Game of the Night" St Louis Blues @ Chicago Blackhawks "Norris Division" March 1, 1990
CHICAGO -- Paul Cavallini scored two of his team's four first-period goals Thursday night and the St. Louis Blues held on for a 6-4 win over Chicago, moving into a first-place tie with the Blackhawks. St. Louis and Chicago now each have 74 points to lead the Norris Division. The Blues improved to 33-25-8, while the Blackhawks dropped to 35-25-4. Cavallini added an assist and rookie Michel Mongeau had three assists for St. Louis. Rookie Jeremy Roenick scored a pair of goals with an assist for Chicago. The Blues scored three goals on their first six shots, making it a short night for Blackhawks goalie Alain Chevrier, who then was replaced by Jacques Cloutier. Cavallini scored first at 1:08, beating Chevrier with a one-timer from the right circle. Troy Murray answered for Chicago at 2:37, but Paul MacLean made it 2-1 eight seconds later, putting the Blues ahead for good. MacLean deflected in an Adam Oates backhander for his 25th goal, and Cavallini then notched his second of the game and seventh of the year on a two-on-one at 5:54. Cloutier replaced Chevrier and gave up Jeff Brown's goal on the power play with 2:20 left, giving the Blues a 4-1 lead through one period. Chicago's Steve Larmer and the Blues' Peter Zezel exchanged goals in the second period, before Roenick brought the Blackhawks back to life. Roenick banged a rebound past Vincent Riendeau for a power-play goal with 3:09 left in the second, then stuffed in another less than two minutes later, his 25th goal of the year, bringing Chicago within 5-4. The Blackhawks opened the final period with a power-play opportunity, but the Blues' Steve Tuttle silenced the crowd with a short-handed tally 1:20 in. Tuttle flipped in his own rebound, with Cavallini picking up an assist. The Blackhawks routed the Blues, 8-3, in their last meeting, Feb. 20 at St. Louis. The teams meet twice more this season.
