The 1986–87 NHL season was the 70th season of the National Hockey League. Twenty-one teams each played 80 games. The Edmonton Oilers won the Stanley Cup by beating the Philadelphia Flyers four games to three in the Cup finals.
[edit] Regular seasonThe Oilers won their second straight Presidents' Trophy as the top team and Wayne Gretzky won his eighth straight Hart Trophy and his seventh straight Art Ross Trophy. Francis "King" Clancy, former defenceman with Ottawa and Toronto, had to undergo surgery to remove his gall bladder. Unfortunately, infection from the gall bladder seeped into his body during surgery, causing him to go into septic shock. He died November 10, 1986. The funeral was a year later because of the shock of his death.

[edit] PlayoffsNote: all dates in 1987 In attempts to reduce the number of first round upsets, the NHL expanded the best-of-five series in the first round to a best-of-seven series. The game seven opening round game between the Washington Capitals and New York Islanders went four overtimes, and is known as the Easter Epic. The 1987 playoffs marked the first of only two times that all four former WHA teams made the playoffs in the same year. It would not happen again until 1999 when 3 of those teams, the Quebec Nordiques moved to Denver Colorado, the Winnipeg Jets moved to Phoenix Arizona, and the Hartford Whalers moved to Carolina. The Quebec Nordiques made the playoffs and defeated the Hartford Whalers in the first round. The next playoff series they would win would be in 1996, their first year as the Colorado Avalanche.

[edit] FinalsEdmonton Oilers Vs. Philadelphia Flyers Further information: 1987 Stanley Cup Finals The Oilers and Flyers would meet again in the finals for the second time in three years. This time, Edmonton was the regular season champion with 50 wins and 106 points, and Philadelphia was second with 46 wins and 100 points. Unlike the 1985 final, this series would go the distance. Edmonton took the first two games at home, then split in Philadelphia. However, the Flyers won the next two games, one in Edmonton and one back in Philadelphia by one goal, to force a deciding seventh game. Edmonton won Game 7 to earn its third Stanley Cup in four seasons.
