The playoffs for the Stanley Cup of 1936 began on March 24, 1936 and ended on April 11, 1936 with the 3-1 win of the Detroit Red Wings against the Toronto Maple Leafs . The Red Wings won their first title in franchise history after they had already reached the final in 1934 and failed there at the Chicago Black Hawks . The Maple Leafs, who had the top scorer of the playoffs in their ranks with Buzz Boll , played their fourth Stanley Cup final in the last five years and suffered their third defeat. In addition, the longest playoff game in NHL history to date was played in 1936 , with the first game of the semi-final series between Detroit and the Montreal Maroons ending after 176 minutes and 30 seconds with a goal by Mud Bruneteau in the sixth overtime .

mode

The three best teams from each division qualified for the playoffs. The two division winners played one of the two finalists directly in a first semi-final. The four remaining teams faced each other in two quarter-finals, with the two division runners-up and the two division thirds clashing. The quarter-finals finally culminated in the second semi-final, which determined the second finalist. The first semi-final and the Stanley Cup final were played in best-of-five mode , while in the second semi-final series two victories were enough to advance and thus played in best-of-three mode. In the meantime, two games were played in the two quarter-final series and only the goal difference was taken into account as a criterion, so that draws were also possible.

In series with best-of-five mode, the lower-seeded team had home rights in the first two games before the higher-seeded team played three home games in a row. In series with a best-of-three mode, home rights changed from game to game, so that the higher-ranked team played in front of their home crowd in the first and decisive third game. In the quarter-finals with only two games, each team hosted a home game. It should be noted, however, that there were regular deviations from the distribution of home rights presented for various reasons.

Overtime followed for games that remained tied after 60 minutes of regular playing time . It ended with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) . This rule did not apply to the quarter-finals, which could end in a draw and only went into overtime if the goal difference at the end of the second game did not produce a winner.
