The playoffs for the Stanley Cup the year 1996 began on 16 April 1996 and ended on 10 June 1996 with a 4: 0 victory for the Colorado Avalanche against the Florida Panthers . The Avalanche, which had only been relocated from Québec to Denver this season , won the first Stanley Cup in franchise history when they entered the finals for the first time. In addition, Colorado presented with their team captain Joe Sakic the top scorer as well as with the Conn Smythe Trophy winning Most Valuable Player of this post-season . In addition, the Russians Valeri Kamenski and Alexei Gussarow as well as the Swede Peter Forsberg were successfully accepted into the Triple Gold Club . The defeated Panthers, on the other hand - as a "young" team founded in 1993 - were also in their Stanley Cup final.
The New Jersey Devils became the third team since the great expansion of 1967 to miss the subsequent playoffs as reigning Stanley Cup winners.
mode
After the two division winners from each conference as well as the six other teams with the highest points in the conference have qualified, the playoffs , which are held in the knockout system , start . The division winner with the best points meets the eighth and thus the worst qualified team, number 2 of this ranking list meets number 7, etc. This mode allows one or more qualified teams to have more points than one of the division winners. The same principle is used to determine the matches in the second playoff round.
Each conference then plays its winner in the conference quarter-finals, conference semifinals and conference finals, who then compete in the final for the Stanley Cup . All series in each round are played in best-of-seven mode, which means that a team needs four wins to reach the next round. The higher seeded team has home rights in the first two games, the next two the opposing team. If no winner has emerged from the round by then, home rights will change from game to game. The higher-ranked team has a home advantage in games 1, 2, 5 and 7, i.e. four of the maximum seven games. The winner of the Eastern Conference will receive the Prince of Wales Trophy and the winner of the Western Conference will receive the Clarence S. Campbell Bowl .
In the case of games that remain a draw after the regular playing time of 60 minutes, overtime follows . It ends with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) .

Stanley Cup winner
The Stanley Cup winner Colorado Avalanche traditionally had a total of 40 people, including 24 players and some officials, including the coaching staff and management, engraved on the base of the trophy. Assistant coach Joel Quenneville and Michel Goulet were among the officials . The rule for the players is that they should either have played 41 games for the team in the regular season or one game in the final series.
The 24 players in Colorado are made up of two goalkeepers, eight defenders and 14 attackers. There were five Europeans in the Avalanche's squad . The Latvian Sandis Ozoliņš and the German Uwe Krupp were the first players in their country to win the Stanley Cup. A mistake was made while engraving the cup: Adam Deadmarsh was written Deadmarch . For the first time, such a mistake was subsequently corrected on the original cup.
