On This Date…

On May 27th, 1975 the Flyers defeated the Buffalo Sabres 2-0  in game six of the Stanley Cup Final to win their 2nd consecutive Stanley Cup Championship. Flyers Bob “the hound” Kelly out-muscled Sabres defenseman King Kong Korab  behind the net and slid the puck behind Sabres netminder Gerry Desjardins just 11 seconds into the 3rd period.  Bill Clement added an insurance goal late in the period, and Bernie Parent shut the door on the Sabres.  The series had a very unusual game #3. Sabres center Jim Lorentz killed a bat with his stick, and the hot day in Buffalo, coupled with no air conditioning in The Aud made for a foggy ice surface. Buffalo won the fog game 4-2, but the Flyers won the series 4-2. Bernie Parent was awarded his 2nd Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP.
