Description
The 1975 Stanley Cup Final championship series was played by the Buffalo Sabres and the defending champion Philadelphia Flyers. The Flyers would win the best-of-seven series four games to two. This was the first Final to have two non-“Original Six” teams since the 1967 expansion, and also the first contested by any team that had joined the league after 1967 (the Sabres were part of the 1970 expansion). The 1975 Flyers are the last Stanley Cup championship team to be composed solely of Canadian-born players.
This was the only Final between 1965 and 1979 not to feature either the Boston Bruins or the Montreal Canadiens.
