The playoffs for the Stanley Cup of 2002 began on April 17, 2002 and ended on June 13, 2002 with the Detroit Red Wings ' 4-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes . The Red Wings thus won their third title in the last six years and the tenth Stanley Cup in their franchise history . In addition, with their Swedish defender Nicklas Lidström, they made the Most Valuable Player of the post-season , making him the first European to be awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy . For the losing Carolina Hurricanes it was the first final participation. The scorer list was headed by Peter Forsberg of the Colorado Avalanche , although he and his team had already been eliminated in the conference finals.

The New York Islanders qualified for the playoffs for the first time since 1994, so the fifth longest negative series of seven missed playoffs in a row ended. Furthermore, for the first time since 1991, no team was eliminated by a sweep (4-0 defeat).

mode

After the three division winners and the five other most points teams have qualified the Conference of each conference, start the knock-out system discharged playoffs . 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 .

For games that remain tied after the regular playing time of 60 minutes, overtime follows , which, in contrast to the regular season, is played with five field players. It ends with the first goal scored ( Sudden Death ) .

Stanley Cup winner

The Stanley Cup winner Detroit Red Wings traditionally had a total of 52 people, including 22 players and some officials, including the coaching staff and management, engraved on the base of the trophy. The fact that 30 officials, including the seven children of owner Mike Ilitch as minority owners, were criticized . Assistant coaches Dave Lewis and Barry Smith and video coordinator Joe Kocur were among the officials . Mark Howe was among the seven scouts . 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. But there are always exceptions. Due to the high number of officials considered, Maxim Kuznetsov (39 games), Sean Avery (36 games) and Uwe Krupp , who only played 8 games in the regular season and two playoff games due to an injury , were omitted .

The 22 players in Detroit are made up of two goalkeepers, six defenders and 14 attackers. Only in the 1998 Red Wings squad were nine Europeans before . Manny Legace was accidentally engraved as a Legece, but the bug has been fixed.
