The Toronto Maple Leafs dropped their second straight game against an Atlantic opponent, squandering a big chance to climb closer to the leading place in the division. After the 4-2 defeat against the Ottawa Senators, head coach Craig Berube received a strong piece of advice from a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup">Stanley Cup</a> champion on the team.



Though equalled in points, the Maple Leafs have lost the second place in the division to the Lightning. However, finishing in second or third place in the Atlantic doesn’t have much bearing, but for the home-ice advantage in a potential Game 7. Regardless, as it stands, Toronto and Tampa Bay would meet in the first round of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> Stanley Cup Playoffs.



However, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/toronto-maple-leafs">Leafs</a> are after something bigger. While the top seed in the Eastern Conference feels out of reach with the Washington Capitals dominating all season, first place in the division is still within grasp—and Toronto has set its sights on it.



Easier said than done, of course. And the climb only gets steeper with every loss to divisional opponents—like the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ottawa-senators">Senators</a> and Panthers—who seem to have Berube’s Leafs figured out. Still, for those searching for a silver lining, a Stanley Cup-winning goaltender on the roster may have found it after their loss to Ottawa.

Anthony Stolarz, who hoisted Lord Stanley during the 2023-24 NHL campaign with the Panthers, delivered a bold message after the loss to the Senators, urging Berube to take notes from Ottawa’s game plan.


 

 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/auston-matthews-tips-his-cap-to-brady-tkachuks-senators-with-a-clear-message-after-maple-leafs-loss"></div>


“They’re just throwing pucks at the net, turning chicken s–t into chicken soup, and just getting bounces,” Stolarz firmly admitted after the loss, via TSN’s Mark Masters. “Maybe that’s something we can take from them and incorporate into our game, because it seems to be working for them.”



<h2>Rise to the occasion</h2>



The Senators have swept the regular season series against the Maple Leafs, signaling a change of times. Ottawa is proving to be a contender in the East after years of rebuilding. The Sens have developed a knack for beating the Leafs, with their eagerness to topple their Ontario rivals fueling their recent dominance.



“I don’t know [why we’ve had success against the [Maple Leafs],” Senators’ Jake Sanderson admitted. “I think we just get fired up for these games, fired up playing in front of these fans. Just the rivalry between us, it’s pretty cool to play here.”

<h2>Stop the bleeding</h2>



The Maple Leafs have lost five of their last six games in the 2024-25 NHL season, painting a worrisome picture in The Six, as the postseason looms closer and the team is far from hitting its peak form. 



Berube and the Leafs will look to change the recent tide of their season, as frustration begins to mount in the locker room. Next, Toronto will host the Calgary Flames on March 17. Two nights later, the Colorado Avalanche will walk into Scotiabank Arena, in what’s set to be a marquee matchup.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl">NHL</a> season culminates in one of the most intense and exciting competitions in sports: the Stanley Cup playoffs. The energy is in the air, the lights shine brighter and the ice becomes the stage for an epic battle.



It’s not just a tournament; it’s a relentless journey to glory, where every pass, every hit and every goal could be the last. With teams fighting for the cup, the tension rises in each round, where favorites face surprises and rivalries.



Its format has evolved over the years, adapting to the league’s needs and maintaining the competitiveness that defines ice hockey, structured in four rounds played in a best-of-seven series.



<h2>How do the Stanley Cup Playoffs work?</h2>



The NHL playoff format, known as the “<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup">Stanley Cup</a> Playoffs“, is a single-elimination tournament that determines the league champion each season. This tournament consists of four rounds, each of which is played in a best-of-seven series.

<h3>Qualification and structure</h3>



At the end of the regular season, the 16 teams advancing to the playoffs are divided into two conferences: the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference. Each conference is subdivided into two divisions. The teams are classified as follows:



<ul><li>The top three teams from each division: The top three teams from each division automatically advance to the playoffs, making a total of 12 teams.</li></ul>



<ul><li>Two wildcard teams per conference: The two remaining teams in each conference that did not finish in the top three of their division, but have the best point records among the other teams in the conference, earn the two wildcard spots.</li></ul>



<h3>First round</h3>



The first round of the NHL playoffs is where the intense competition begins, as the 16 qualifying teams face off in a series of best-of-seven matchups. These matchups are determined based on regular-season standings, with teams placed in the following structure:



<ul><li>First place in each division against the second wildcard team: The team that finished with the best record in their respective conference (either Eastern or Western) plays against the second wildcard team, which is the team with the best record among those not finishing in the top three of their division.</li></ul>



<ul><li>Second place in each division against the first wildcard team: The team with the second-best record in their division plays against the first wildcard team, which is the team with the best record remaining after the top-three teams have been placed.</li></ul>



<ul><li>Third versus fourth place in the division: Teams finishing third and fourth in each division face each other in the first round, regardless of their conference.</li></ul>

Each series is played as a best-of-seven, meaning the first team to win four games advances to the next round. This round sets the stage for the intensity of the playoffs, where higher-seeded teams often have an advantage, but upsets are always a possibility.



<h3>Home ice advantage</h3>



Home ice advantage plays a crucial role in the NHL playoffs, as it allows the higher-seeded team to host Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 on their home ice, with the remaining games taking place at the lower-seeded team’s arena.



This advantage is earned based on regular-season performance, with the team that finishes with the best record in the conference being awarded home ice for the entire playoffs. Having home ice advantage allows teams to start their playoff run with the energy of their home crowd.



The emotional and strategic benefits of playing in a familiar environment can provide an edge, especially when the series is tight and every game counts. The importance of home ice is heightened in Game 7, where the final decisive match is hosted by the higher-seeded team, offering them one last advantage to secure the victory.



<h3>Subsequent rounds</h3>



As the playoffs progress into the later rounds, the stakes become even higher. In each subsequent round—after the first—teams are matched up based on performance in the previous round, rather than a fixed bracket. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250219_BUS_339806_Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-1024x576_eff53232.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-339839" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/02/19114715/Stanley-Cup-Playoffs-4.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Duncan Keith #2 of the Chicago Blackhawks reacts after the St. Louis Blues scored the game-tying goal in Game Five of the Western Conference First Round during the 2016 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.

This system allows for exciting and unpredictable matchups, as teams advance according to their playoff performance rather than their original seeding. The second round consists of the winners from the first round and similarly, the third round is composed of the remaining teams after the second round. 



The teams that win in the second round face off in the conference finals, with the champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences advancing to the Stanley Cup Final. This format ensures that every game in every round is essential, with each team fighting not just for the title, but for a chance to advance and keep their dreams of the Stanley Cup alive.



<h3>Stanley Cup final</h3>



The Stanley Cup Final is the pinnacle of the NHL playoffs, where the champions of the Eastern and Western Conferences face off in a high-stakes, best-of-seven series to determine the league champion. The intensity of the final round is unmatched, as it is a battle for the ultimate prize in professional hockey.

The team that wins four out of the seven games is crowned the NHL champion and awarded the coveted Stanley Cup. This prestigious trophy has a rich history and represents the culmination of months of hard-fought regular-season play and grueling playoff competition.



The road to the Stanley Cup Final is long, but once teams reach this stage, they are on the brink of securing their place in hockey history. Fans, media, and players alike know that this series is a culmination of all the challenges, sacrifices and triumphs experienced during the season.

Established in 1970, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/buffalo-sabres">Buffalo Sabres</a> have experienced moments of promise but have yet to secure the coveted Stanley Cup. The franchise’s most notable near-miss occurred in 1999 when they reached the Stanley Cup Final, only to be defeated by the Dallas Stars in a controversial series. 



Despite passionate fan support and periods of competitive play, the Sabres have faced challenges in maintaining consistent postseason success. Notably, the team has endured a prolonged playoff drought, failing to qualify for the postseason since the 2010-2011 season.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/minnesota-wild">Minnesota Wild</a>, established in 2000, have been on a quest to bring the Stanley Cup to the “State of Hockey”. The franchise’s deepest playoff run came in 2003 when they reached the Western Conference Finals, ultimately falling to the Anaheim Mighty Ducks. 



Since then, the Wild have been regular playoff contenders but have struggled to advance beyond the early rounds. The team’s passionate fan base continues to support their pursuit of a championship.

Since their inception in 1998, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nashville-predators">Nashville Predators</a> have steadily built a reputation as a formidable team. The pinnacle of their success came in the 2016-2017 season when they advanced to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time, ultimately losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins. 



The Predators have consistently qualified for the playoffs in recent years, showcasing strong defensive play and a dedicated fan base, but the elusive Stanley Cup remains out of reach.

Entering the league in 2000, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/columbus-blue-jackets">Columbus Blue Jackets</a> have faced challenges in establishing themselves as perennial contenders. The franchise secured its first playoff series victory in 2019 with a stunning sweep of the top-seeded Tampa Bay Lightning in the First Round. 



Despite this historic achievement, the Blue Jackets have yet to progress beyond the Second Round of the playoffs. The team continues to develop its roster with the hope of achieving deeper postseason success.

Founded in 1991, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-jose-sharks">San Jose Sharks</a> have been a consistent presence in the playoffs, earning a reputation for regular-season success. The franchise’s most significant postseason achievement occurred in 2016 when they reached the Stanley Cup Final but were defeated by the Pittsburgh Penguins. 



Despite multiple deep playoff runs, including appearances in the Western Conference Finals, the Sharks have been unable to capture the championship, leaving a void in an otherwise impressive record.

Despite a valiant effort, they were defeated in five games. Since then, the team has experienced fluctuations in performance but remains committed to its mission of bringing the championship back to Canada’s capital.

From near misses to lifelong hope: NHL franchises still hunting for the Stanley Cup

The most unbreakable records in NHL history: Moments of greatness that define hockey&#039;s legacy

NHL’s uncrowned teams: Who’s still chasing the Stanley Cup? - Bolavip US

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nhl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> NHL</a> is looking to break out of its niche sport shell. Last season, the Stanley Cup Finals saw a 43% ratings hike in North America, with Game 7 being watched by 7 million people, the largest audience for an NHL game since 2019. Not only that, but the NHL is gaining fans in other corners of the world, especially in Latin America, where many games are available on the Disney+ platform.



ABC and ESPN dedicated entire days to NHL broadcasts. Fueled by new media rights agreements, digital dasher boards, and advertisements on helmets and jerseys, alongside a convergence of generational talents, ratings have increased, attendance has reached record levels, and revenue has hit an all-time high, estimated at $6.2 billion per year.



Hockey is big, and it’s only getting bigger. Entering the 2024/25 season, here is a checklist that any fan or new fan needs to know about the NHL.



<h2>Things to Know About the New NHL Season</h2>



The league is still in preseason, but the NHL Global Series in Czechia is kicking off the new season on October 4 between the New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres. The rest of the season kicks off on Tuesday, October 8.



The current NHL champions are the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/florida-panthers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Florida Panthers</a>, who won their first championship last season. 



The Presidents’ Trophy, awarded to the best team in the regular season, was won by the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Rangers</a>. 



Nikita Kucherov of the Tampa Bay Lightning was the scoring leader with 144 points.

For the new season, all games can be seen on television via Sportsnet, CBC, TVA Sports (Canada), and ESPN/ABC/ESPN2, TNT/TBS/truTV (United States). The streaming service for the NHL is Sportsnet+, Amazon (Canada), and ESPN+/Hulu, Max (United States).



The Arizona Coyotes franchise was disbanded, and its players and staff were relocated to a new expansion team in Utah known as the Utah Hockey Club, which will later be given an official name, mascot, and colors next season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230420#BUS#219700"></div>


<h2>Rule Changes</h2>



<ul><li>The puck-over-glass delay-of-game penalty has been added to the list of plays that can go under video review. This only applies to determine whether the puck deflected off a player, stick, the glass, or the boards. The judgment call on how the puck left the defensive zone cannot be reviewed. A failed coach’s challenge would thus essentially result in a double minor: both the original puck-over-glass penalty and the failed coach’s challenge penalty.</li></ul>



<ul><li>The defensive team cannot make a line change after its goaltender accidentally dislodges the net. Following an icing, offensive centers will receive a warning for a faceoff violation, just like defensive players. A team that has players sitting on the boards will first receive a warning, and then be assessed an unsportsmanlike conduct bench minor penalty for subsequent violations.</li></ul>



<ul><li>The salary cap limit for each team was raised to $88 million for the 2024–25 season, reflecting a $4.5 million increase from the prior year. Additionally, the salary cap minimum was set at $65 million per team.</li></ul>



<h2>NHL official apparel</h2>



This will mark Fanatics’ first season as the official apparel provider for the NHL, following a ten-year contract that replaces Adidas, which held the role under a seven-year agreement since the 2017–18 season.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20210628#BUS#172442"></div>


<h2>International Games</h2>



The Buffalo Sabres and New Jersey Devils will play their first two regular-season games against each other on October 4 and 5, 2024, at O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic. Following that, the Dallas Stars and Florida Panthers are set to compete in two games on November 1 and 2 at Nokia Arena in Tampere, Finland.

In 2022, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Raiders</a> decided to sign Davante Adams to bolster the team’s offense. A year later, the wide receiver is proving to be very comfortable at Nevada, showing his love for Las Vegas by supporting the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/vegas-golden-knights" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Golden Knights</a> during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/when-does-the-2023-stanley-cup-final-start-date-and-time-for-each-game-20230603-BUS-6012.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2023 Stanley Cup</a>.



At the end of the 2021 campaign, the Green Bay Packers decided to move on from one of their biggest stars. The NFC North squad traded Davante Adams to the Raiders in exchange for their 2022 1st and 2nd round picks.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20221229#CMS#0050"></div>


Adams proved to be an elite reciver immediately. He had one of his best seasons so far with 100 receptions for 1,516 yards (15.2 average) and 14 touchdowns, and he’s expected to improve those numbers in the upcoming campaign.



<h2>Davante Adams was spotted supporting the Golden Knights during the 2023 Stanley Cup</h2>



Davante Adams’ trade to the Las Vegas Raiders was a blockbuster move. Derek Carr was reunited with his college teammate, and the receiver proved his value by being the best weapon for the quarterback on the field.



His arrival made all Raiders fans happy. They finally got an elite wide receiver, and despite Derek Carr’s departure, they expect Adams to be as dominant as he was in his first season in the near future.



Ahead of the 2023 campaign, Adams is really enjoying Las Vegas. Now, he proved his love for the city by supporting the Golden Knights during Game 2 against the Florida Panthers in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stanley-cup" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Stanley Cup</a>.

It has been an exciting season in the NHL, but the best is yet to come. This Stanley Cup final will be special because neither the Vegas Golden Knights nor the Florida Panthers have ever won the title. Every time a new team can become a champion, the excitement rises.



The Golden Knights had a great run to begin their short history as a franchise. They were introduced to the league in the 2017-2018 season, when they reached the final in their inaugural year. However, they are looking for revenge considering they lost it 4-1 to the Washington Capitals.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230509#CMS#0027"></div>


The Panthers are also going for their first championship. They have already been in the final in 1996, but they haven’t been in the last series again since them. That time they were defeated 4-0 by the Colorado Avalanche, so they will be looking to make history.

The wait is over. Following a long <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/who-was-the-nhl-player-with-the-most-goals-in-a-season-20220427-0007.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">regular season</a> like in pre-pandemic times, the much anticipated 2022 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/25-amazing-nhl-records-that-wont-get-broken-so-easily-20200925-0003.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHL</a> playoffs have finally begun and the battle for the highly desired Stanley Cup is on.
Only 16 teams are still in contention for the biggest prize in the National Hockey League, which is also the oldest trophy in the history ofprofessional sports in North America. Donated by Lord Stanley of Preston in 1892, the Stanley Cup has seen all kinds of winners, from amateur teams to wealthy franchises in the modern era.
It wasn’t until 1926 that the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/nhl-montreal-canadiens-goaltender-carey-price-tells-fans-hes-doing-well-after-being-in-the-nhl-player-assistance-program---20220131-0021.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHL</a> took controlof the trophy. Until then, it was contested between amateur hockey clubs in Canada before it became an interleague title. Here, let’s look back at all the Stanley Cup winners ordered by year.
<h2>NHL winners: List of Stanley Cup champions by year</h2>
The most successful team in NHL history are the Montreal Canadiens, who have won the Stanley Cup on 24 occasions. However, it’s been 29 years since their last success, which has also been the last time a Canadian team won the trophy.
Since Lord Stanley’s donation in 1892, the Stanley Cup was not awarded only twice. First, in 1919 because of the influenza pandemic, and later in 2005 because of the NHL lockout. These are the all-time Stanley Cup winners by year, from the early amateur days to the current NHL times.
