An almost-daily column that takes a look back at how the Philadelphia Flyers have fared on this day, recalling some of the more memorable moments, achievements, and events that shaped the organization throughout the club's storied history
The Flyers have managed a pretty impressive 7-2 mark in nine May 4 postseason outings, including a perfect 3-0 record in games that went past regulation time. One of those became the longest contest in franchise history, another was a dramatic series-winner that sent Philly into the Eastern Conference Final.
Some of the more memorable moments and brief recaps in Flyers history that took place on May 4:
1975 -- Reggie Leach scored the game's lone goal 0:30 into the third period and Bernie Parent turned aside all 14 shots he faced as the Flyers skated to a 1-0 victory over the New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum, giving Philadelphia a fairly comfortable 3-0 Semifinal series lead.
