Edmonton captured their first Stanley Cup title in 1983-84, knocking off the four-time defending champion New York Islanders. The following year, the Oilers faced greater expectations to repeat as Cup champions.
Not only were the 1984-85 Oilers talented, but they were also the most fun to watch. They scored more, skated more effectively and fought harder than any other championship squad.
Wayne Gretzky won his fifth straight Art Ross Trophy as scoring champion and sixth straight Hart Memorial Trophy in 1984-85.
