1989 Stanley Cup Finals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1989 Stanley Cup Final took place between May 14 and May 25, between the top two teams during the 1988–89 NHL regular season, the Calgary Flames and the Montreal Canadiens. This marked the last time (as of 2008) that the first two seeds met in the Stanley Cup Final.

[edit] The series
Montreal Canadiens vs. Calgary Flames
Co-captain Lanny McDonald scored the second Flames goal in game six. This turned out to be the last goal in his NHL Hall of Fame career because he retired during the following off-season. Doug Gilmour scored two goals in the third period, including the eventual game and Cup winner to cement the victory for the Flames. Al MacInnis won the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP, and at 31 points, became the first defenceman to lead the NHL in post-season scoring.[1] The Calgary Flames are the only visiting team to have won the Stanley Cup on Montreal's home ice.
