1985 Stanley Cup Finals

The 1985 Stanley Cup Finals was played between the defending champion Edmonton Oilers in their third straight Finals appearance and the Philadelphia Flyers.

The Oilers would win the best-of-seven series four games to one to win their second Stanley Cup. It was also the sixth straight Finals contested between teams that joined the NHL in 1967 or later.

As of 2015, this is also the last time that a team, defending champion or runner-up, would appear in the Finals for the third straight season.

This would be the third of eight consecutive Finals contested by a team from Alberta (the Oilers appeared in six, the Calgary Flames in 1986 & 1989), and the second of five consecutive Finals to end with the Cup presentation on Alberta ice (the Oilers won four of those times, the Montreal Canadiens once).
