The Habs had beaten Boston in the Adams Division Semi-finals four years in a row, sweeping the Bruins in three of the past four seasons, and beating them 3\u20132 in a best-of-five the other year. This time, the Bruins’ defence would wear down Montreal, as Ken Linseman, Ray Bourque and Cam Neely provided the offence to finally conquer the Canadiens. It was the first Bruins’ playoff series win over the Habs in 44 seasons.DateAwayScoreHomeScoreApril 18Boston1Montreal 5April 20Boston 4Montreal3April 22Montreal1Boston 3April 24Montreal0Boston 2April 26Boston 4Montreal1Boston wins best-of-seven series 4\u20131.Prince of Wales Conference Finals[edit]New Jersey Devils vs. Boston BruinsThe Devils would take Boston to the limit, but their offense could not compete with the Bruins, who would make their first appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals since consecutive appearances in 1976\u201377 and 1977\u201378.This series would also have the infamous confrontation between Devils head coach Jim Schoenfeld and referee Don Koharski after Game 3, when, during an argument in the tunnel after the game, Koharski tripped and fell, accusing Schoenfield of pushing him. Schoenfield famously responded, “You tripped and fell you fat pig!” He then yelled, “Have another doughnut! Have another doughnut!” The incident was played repeatedly on ESPN and has become part of NHL lore.Schonefeld was suspended by NHL president John Ziegler for Game 4, but the Devils received an injunction from a New Jersey court, allowing Schoenfeld to coach the fourth game. In protest, the officials scheduled to work that game in the Meadlowands refused to take the ice, forcing the NHL to scramble for amateur officials to call the contest. The injunction was lifted and Schoenfeld served his suspension during Game 5 in the Boston Garden.DateAwayScoreHomeScoreOTMay 2New Jersey3Boston 5May 4New Jersey 3Boston2(OT)May 6Boston 6New Jersey1May 8Boston1New Jersey 3May 10New Jersey1Boston 7May 12Boston3New Jersey 6May 14New Jersey2Boston 6Boston wins best-of-seven series 4\u20133.Stanley Cup Finals[edit]Boston Bruins vs. Edmonton OilersDateAwayScoreHomeScoreNotesMay 18Boston Bruins1Edmonton Oilers2May 20Boston Bruins2Edmonton Oilers4May 22Edmonton Oilers6Boston Bruins3May 24Edmonton Oilers3Boston Bruins3Game suspended at 16:33 of 2nd due to power failure.May 26Boston Bruins3Edmonton Oilers6Edmonton wins best-of-seven series 4\u20130\u20131.Awards and records[edit]References[edit]  "},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki19\/1987-88-boston-bruins-season-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"1987\u201388 Boston Bruins season – Wikipedia"}}]}]
