Playoffs

edit

After a first-round bye, the Flyers easily swept the Toronto Maple Leafs and were presented with another New York-area team in the semifinals. The Flyers looked to be headed toward another sweep against the New York Islanders after winning the first three games. The Islanders, however, fought back by winning the next three games, setting up a deciding seventh game. The Flyers were finally able to shut the door on the Islanders, winning Game 7, 4–1.

Facing the Buffalo Sabres in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Flyers won the first two games at home. Game 3, played in Buffalo, would go down in hockey lore as "The Fog Game" due to an unusual May heat wave in Buffalo which forced parts of the game to be played in heavy fog, as Buffalo's arena lacked air conditioning. The Flyers lost Games 3 and 4, but won Game 5 at home in dominating fashion, 5–1. On the road for Game 6, Bob Kelly scored the decisive goal and Parent posted another shutout (his fourth of the playoffs) as the Flyers repeated as Stanley Cup champions. Parent also repeated as the playoff MVP, winning his second consecutive Conn Smythe Trophy.

Records

edit

Among the team records set during the 1974–75 season was Bobby Clarke's 18-game point streak from February 26 to April 3, which was later tied by Eric Lindros during the 1998–99 season.[12] Clarke's 89 assists on the season set a franchise high that he replicated in 1975–76.[13] Goaltender Bernie Parent's 12 shutouts tied his mark from the previous season and enforcer Dave Schultz's 472 penalty minutes set a still-standing single season NHL record.[14][15]

Two franchise winning streaks were set during the playoffs. The final win of an eight-game winning streak dating back to May 19, 1974, occurred on May 4.[16] Likewise, the final win of an 13-game home winning streak dating back to April 9, 1974, occurred on May 1.[17] Rick MacLeish scored a franchise record two hat tricks in the playoffs and Parent recorded four shutouts during the playoffs.[18][19] The team as a whole had five shutouts during the playoffs, a mark which was later tied by the 2009–10 team.[20]
