==== Boston Spirits (1) vs. Acadia Rage (8) ====
The Spirits entered the series as the heavy favorites, as the senior-seeds and defending champions who had recently secured their third consecutive Earle Trophy. They won the first game rather comfortably, although a last-minute goal from Gilles Dufour made the final score 3–2. In game two, the Acadia Rage managed a massive upset 4–0 victory as the visitors, upending the entire series as they travelled home for the next two games. In game three, their first home game, they took another victory, holding Boston off 3–2. The Rage failed, however, to secure the series in front of their home crowd, losing game four 4–1 to the visitors. With the decisive game five in Boston, the Spirits were once again favored to head to the semi-finals, but the Rage managed another massive upset, this time winning 3–1.
