The playoffs for the Stanley Cup the year 1964 began on March 26, 1964 and ended on 25 April 1964 with the 4: 3 victory for the Toronto Maple Leafs over the Detroit Red Wings . The Maple Leafs won their third title in a row and the twelfth in the franchise history . So they drew level with the Canadiens de Montréal as the record winners of the trophy, but they immediately made the two following playoffs victorious and subsequently defend the title of record winner to this day. In addition, the 1964 final marked the re-edition of the previous year , in which the Red Wings were inferior to the Maple Leafs by 1: 4, while the encounters in the semi-finals were similar to those of 1963.

In addition, for the first time since the introduction of the best-of-seven format in 1939, all playoff series ran the full seven-game distance.

mode

The four best teams in the league qualified for the playoffs. In the semi-finals, the first and third as well as the second and fourth of the final table faced each other. The respective winners then contested the Stanley Cup final.

All series were held in best-of-seven mode , which means that a team needed four wins to advance. The higher seeded team had home rights in the first two games, the next two the opposing team. If no winner has emerged from the round by then, the home law changed from game to game. The higher-ranked team had a home advantage in games 1, 2, 5 and 7, i.e. four of the maximum seven games.

Overtime followed for games that remained tied after 60 minutes of regular playing time . It ended with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) .
