The playoffs for the Stanley Cup in 1980 began on April 8, 1980 and ended on May 24, 1980 with the New York Islanders' 4-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers . The Islanders won so at their first finals their first Stanley Cup and presented with Bryan Trottier both the top scorer and the with the Conn Smythe Trophy winning Most Valuable Player of this post-season . In addition, this success was the first in a series of four Stanley Cup victories in a row for the Islanders, while they also ended the era of the Canadiens de Montréal , who had emerged victorious from the playoffs in the past four years. The Philadelphia Flyers, on the other hand, suffered their second defeat in their fourth final, most recently losing to Montréal in 1976 .

Furthermore, with the Swedes Anders Kallur and Stefan Persson , two players trained in Europe won the Stanley Cup for the first time .

mode

The 16 teams qualified for the playoffs were seeded according to their performance in the regular season (most points; most wins in the event of a tie). In the first round the highest seeded team (1) met the lowest seeded (16), accordingly the second against the team seeded in 15th position, etc. This system was also used to determine the matches in the second and third round.

The series of the first round are played in the best-of-five mode, the series of all subsequent rounds in the best-of-seven mode, which means that a team needs four wins to progress from the second round; in the first round three. 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.

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 ) .
