Just ask the Oilers after Smith put one into his own net back in the 80's. That offside goal cost the Flyers the game and probably a cup. Any Islander will tell you they did not want to go back to Philly. And there also was a brutal penalty call in overtime in one of the earlier games in the series. Flyers are finally escaping their reputation now some 30 years later.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15967921621809028444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231015677797485452.post-70982439283097889872010-06-07T22:24:20.522-04:002010-06-07T22:24:20.522-04:00Flyer fans gripe too much over this.

They also won't even think about the fact that even if the Flyers had won Game 6, they still would have lost Game 7 at home. The Islanders proved to be a tough road team and one that could come through in pressure situations throughout the '80 playoffs. The Isles were just the kind of visiting team that would have won a Game 7 at the Spectrum had there been one.<br /><br />Also, the notion of Nystrom's goal beiong offsides is just another silly, lame Philly excuse. The goal was clearly onsides!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231015677797485452.post-37610973669706049292009-06-11T19:05:00.338-04:002009-06-11T19:05:00.338-04:00That's the same clip I showed 2nd on my blog p...That's the same clip I showed 2nd on my blog post.sfiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08462634687661529860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231015677797485452.post-7746428368155045212009-06-11T11:19:14.754-04:002009-06-11T11:19:14.754-04:00Here ya go:

The Flyers entered the third period down 4-2 but Bob Dailey and John Paddock scored third period goals. A damaging no call by linesman Leon Stickle on an obvious offside cost the Flyers. After tthe game, Stickle was quoted as saying "I guess I blew it. Maybe I was too close to the play," The Islanders added two more PPGs giving them 16 in the 6-game series. It was the last hockey game broadcast (national) on American TV in almost 10 years.<br /><br />See the offsides non-call here. It was Gillies to Goring to Sutter. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFjMIWkXHSMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6231015677797485452.post-45282738877985817462009-06-11T10:43:55.168-04:002009-06-11T10:43:55.168-04:00The offsides goal in question wasn't this one ...The offsides goal in question wasn't this one (that was clearly on sides.)
