Sports Fact of the Day 4/26/2007

4/26/1975:
With a 1-0 victory over Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup quarterfinals, the New York Islanders become only the second team in sports history to rebound from a 0-3 deficit to win a best-of-seven playoff series. The Isles equal the improbable feat of the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, who stunned Detroit in the Cup finals after trailing three games to none. Chico Resch turns aside 30 Penguin shots, at least two directly off his mask at close range.
