In a somewhat rare rematch of Stanley Cup finalists, the Edmonton Oilers and New York Islanders battled again for NHL supremacy in 1984 -- but with a decidedly different outcome than the previous spring. The Islanders were now the owner of a still-unmatched record in professional North American sports with 19 straight playoff series victories and were in position to win a 20th and what would have been their fifth straight Stanley Cup.
After splitting the first two games in the best-of-seven series, the Oilers' speed helped obliterate New York with back-to-back 7-2 wins in Edmonton for a 3-1 series stranglehold. The domination continued through the first two periods of Game 5, where Gretzky would score the Oilers' first two goals and add an assist en route to a 4-0 Oilers lead through two periods, chasing Billy Smith from the Isles' crease. Edmonton would hang on to dethrone New York with a 5-2 victory and the first of four Stanley Cups in five years.
Gretzky delivered a superstar-worthy 35-point performance in the playoffs, but it was Messier who was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy with eight goals and 18 assists in 19 playoff games. The start of another NHL dynasty had begun.
