Which team won consecutive Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975?

The story behind the answer

The Philadelphia Flyers won consecutive Stanley Cups in 1974 and 1975. They became the first expansion team to capture the championship twice in a row.

Philadelphia won the 1974 Final over the Boston Bruins in six games, then defended the Cup by beating the Buffalo Sabres in six games in 1975. The back-to-back titles transformed the Flyers from a young franchise into a major NHL power.

Goaltender Bernie Parent was central to both championships, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy as playoff MVP in each season. The 1975 Final also included Buffalo’s famous “Fog Game,” when heavy fog disrupted play inside Memorial Auditorium.

The Flyers’ 1974 victory was historically important beyond the repeat: it was the first Stanley Cup won by a team from the 1967 expansion. Philadelphia returned to the Final in 1976 but lost to the Montreal Canadiens.
