The playoffs for the Stanley Cup of 2011 began on April 13, 2011 and ended on June 15, 2011 with the Boston Bruins' 4-3 victory over the Vancouver Canucks . The Bruins won their sixth Stanley Cup and their first since 1972 . They also presented with Tim Thomas as the most valuable player like David Krejci the best scorer of the playoffs. The Canucks, however, had to accept the third defeat after 1982 and 1994 in their third participation in the finals.

For the first time in league history, all three California teams ( Anaheim , Los Angeles and San Jose ) reached the playoffs. Furthermore, the missed New Jersey Devils the post-season for the first time since the 1995/96 season, so with 13 seasons, the second longest series of consecutive playoff appearances all active franchises ended.

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. In addition, it ends with the first goal ( Sudden Death ) and not, as usual in the regular season, with a shootout .
