From Adam Kimelman at NHL.com,
The ‘75 Islanders knocked off the Pittsburgh Penguins in a quarterfinal-round series, joining the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, who beat the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Final, as the only teams in League history to come back from the absolute edge of defeat to achieve victory.
His advice to the players in Philadelphia and Dallas is the same one he got from his coach, Al Arbour—keep the focus small.
“More than anything else, what we did, and what Al instructed us to do, was think about winning one shift,” [Bob] Nystrom recalled for NHL.com. “When you think about four games, it seems impossible. But when you look at it as one shift, it doesn’t look that bad.”
