Souvenirs : Les Islanders surmontent un déficit de 3-0 dans la série contre les Penguins
Le 26 avril 1975, les Islanders de New York ont battu les Penguins, 1-0, pour compléter une remontée de quatre matchs après avoir été menés 3-0 dans la série.
I remember this loss as a Pens fan like it was yesterday. Even with winning 4 cups since then, I have never felt good the times the Pens got a 3-0 series lead for fear it would happen again. The loss also precipitated one of several times the franchise got into financial trouble and almost moved or went under. It also was the first of several heartbreaking losses to the Isles that the Pens had in the playoffs, including two overtime losses in deciding games. Just makes me not take any of the successes since then for granted.
This was an incredible run to watch. No one gave them much of a chance against the Rangers, then make almost two historical comebacks. Ending one game short of advancing to the finals. This year put the Islanders on the map and road to future success throughout the 70s and dominant early 80s.

And they nearly pulled it off again in the next round against the Flyers.
crazy that this organization has become the joke that it is now.

Islanders were a GOAT team back than.
Some unhappy moments of adolescence were expunged by that Islander team
