The reigning champs take on the champs of two years ago, this one was interesting.
Game 1:
The Richard brothers chemistry is potent, but not too much for Doug Harvey. Him and Flaman play well defensively. But a bad change sparks a 3-on-1 with Henri getting the puck to Tommy Phillips. Ziggy Palffy and Vyacheslav Starshinov also score. Elmer Lach scored for the Falcons. NJ wins 3-1. NJ 1-0
Game 2:
Maurice scores a first period goal on the power play. And Bill Quackenbush would also tally. Firsov and Krutov both score big goals in the third. Elmer Lach would get a loose puck late in the third and the Falcons would tie the series with a 3-2 victory. TIED 1-1
Game 3:
All Devils. Henri and Maurice both score. And Palffy is also big as he scores. The Falcons don't have much to respond with at home besides a Zdeno Chara goal in the second. Chuck Gardiner plays a fantastic game and the Devils hold on for the 2-1 victory. NJ 2-1
Game 4:
Vyacheslav Starshinov scores a timely goal in the first, and the Devils start playing shutdown hockey. Doug Harvey scores to tie the game at one in the second. A late goal by Maurice sends the Devils over the Falcons. Michal Handzus adds an empty netter. NJ 3-1
Game 5:
Al Rollins was yet to be exposed in the series, but the Devils let loose in the fifth game. Maurice, Palffy and Phillips all scored in the first. But so did Firsov and Kenny Mosdell. Doug Harvey makes things complicated and ties the game at three. We're going to overtime. First OT, all defense. A few powerplays for the Falcons, strong penalty killing by the Devils. Second OT, it's a power play for the Swamp Devils and it's Henri Richard who scores and sends the Swamp Devils to the next round. 4-3 final. NJ 4-1
New Jersey Swamp Devils defeat Detroit Falcons in 5 games.
