Even though the NHL only used the 2-3-2 format for the '84 and '85 Stanley Cup Finals. Does anybody know why they made the change? I'm guessing just to mimic what the NBA and MLB use for their respective championships, and for travel purposes as well. I'm sure the Oilers dominating both the Islanders and Flyers at home caused the NHL to rethink about the format :). MechaKnight ( talk) 18:34, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Not sure why it happened... but I've always wondered what would have happened had the Islanders gotten to play Game 5 at home. That team had incredible heart and a knack for coming through in the clutch. 3 straight games in Edmonton against the POWERHOUSE Oilers was simply asking too much though...
