      The 1984 Stanley Cup playoffs, the playoff tournament of the National Hockey League (NHL) began on April 4, after the conclusion of the 1983–84 NHL season. The playoffs concluded on May 19 with the Edmonton Oilers defeating the four-time defending champion New York Islanders 5–2 to win the Stanley Cup Finals four games to one, the franchise's first Stanley Cup.


      Playoff seeds


      The top four teams in each division qualified for the playoffs, as follows:


      = Prince of Wales Conference

      =


      Adams Division


      Boston Bruins, Adams Division champions – 104 points (49 wins)
      Buffalo Sabres – 103 points
      Quebec Nordiques – 94 points
      Montreal Canadiens – 75 points


      Patrick Division


      New York Islanders, Patrick Division champions, Prince of Wales Conference regular season champions – 104 points (50 wins)
      Washington Capitals – 101 points
      Philadelphia Flyers – 98 points
      New York Rangers – 93 points


      = Clarence Campbell Conference

      =


      Norris Division


      Minnesota North Stars, Norris Division champions – 88 points
      St. Louis Blues – 71 points
      Detroit Red Wings – 69 points
      Chicago Black Hawks – 68 points


      Smythe Division


      Edmonton Oilers, Smythe Division champions, Clarence Campbell Conference regular season champions – 119 points

      Vancouver Canucks – 73 points (32 wins)
      Winnipeg Jets – 73 points (31 wins)


      Playoff bracket


      In the division semifinals, the fourth seeded team in each division played against the division winner from their division. The other series matched the second and third place teams from the divisions. The two winning teams from each division's semifinals then met in the division finals. The two division winners of each conference then played in the conference finals. The two conference winners then advanced to the Stanley Cup Finals.
      Home ice advantage in the conference finals and the Stanley Cup Finals was modified this season so it would be awarded to the team that had the better regular season record, like the first two rounds of the playoffs, instead of having it rotate by division and conference, respectively. This resulted in home-ice advantage for the Adams and Smythe division champions in the conference finals and resulted in home-ice advantage for the Wales Conference champion in the Stanley Cup finals.
      Each division semifinals series was competed in a best-of-five playoff following a 2–2–1 format (scores in the bracket indicate the number of games won in each series), with the team with home ice advantage playing at home for games one and two (and game five, if necessary), and the other team playing at home for game three (and game four, if necessary). In the middle two rounds, each series was competed in a best-of-seven playoff following a 2–2–1–1–1 format, with the team with home ice advantage playing at home for games one and two (and games five and seven, if necessary), and the other team playing at home for games three and four (and game six, if necessary). The Stanley Cup Finals was changed from a 2–2–1–1–1 format to a 2–3–2 format this season, with the sites for games five and six switched.
