1. May 24, 1980: Nystrom's Cup-winner

Up three games to two, Bobby Nystrom's first goal of the match gives the Isles a 4-2 lead late in the second period of Game 6. Then the favored Flyers, who had set an NHL record by going 35 games without a loss during the regular season, tie the score on third-period tallies by Bob Dailey and John Paddock. The packed Coliseum is on edge during the tense overtime until Nystrom tips John Tonelli's pass past Pete Peeters at 7:11 to give the Isles their first Stanley Cup.
