The ’83-’84 Edmonton Oilers were the 5th seed in the inaugural Ultimate NHL Playoff. Their tournament came to an end a little earlier than I had thought when they were swept by the 4th-seeded ’73-’74 Boston Bruins in the Quarterfinal. Then, in the Second Annual UNP, it was the ’84-’85 Edmonton Oilers who were the 6th seed and were able to surpass what the ’83-’84 Oilers did in the inaugural tournament as they finished as the runners up.
