By AL COLLETTI UNIONDALE, — N.Y. (CP) — Lanny McDonald had one sudden-death chance for glory. He took it and his Toronto Maple Leafs are in the Stanley Cup semi-finals for the first time since 1967. It was a weird ending to a brutal. seven-game National Hockey League quarter-final series between the Maple Leafs and New York Islanders that went bumping and grinding to the very end when McDonald shot over goalie Glenn Resch’s gloved hand at 4:13 of overtime. It gave Toronto a 2-1 decision and a 4-3 series’ victory. The Islanders had enough chances to win by a wide margin § in regulation play, and in the overtime period Billy _ Harris, whodidn't score a single point in the series, wa in on young Mike Palmateer but was - stopped cold. McDonald, who had his share of hitting posts in the series, did not choke on his winning effort although he said he didn’t imow exactly where he was shooting. Denis Potvin put the Istanders in front in the first period with a 35-foot screened shot and defenceman fan Turn- bull, a standout .in the series, scored the tyin goal in the second peri on a perfect pass from Jimmy Jones. In the jubilant Toronto dressing room, Dave (Tiger) Williams said the Islanders, after taking a 20 lead in the series, became overconfident. side. + r mw’ fl THE HERALD, Monday, May 1° 1978, PAGE 4 Toronto ‘ ‘wrecking crew” give Leafs chance at Stanley Cup- N.Y. downed 2-1 © “All of a sudden, the series was tough and they bad to dig down and it -wasn't there.” - WRECKING CREW STARS : The Toronto wreckin crew led by such’ stalwarts as Williams, Dan Maloney and captain Darry! Sittler did a job on the Islanders that caught up with them eventually. And for the finale, New York had a rash of in- juries to key players, in- cluding their best centre, Bryan Trottier, who played with a broken jaw. Trottier was hurt in the third game on Toronto ice and the injury was aggravated in the sixth game when he and Harris crashed, forcing Trottier to wear a wired mask. McDonald, who had his nose broken in the series, said the winning goal came on a play that the Leafs worked on during practice.

Quite honestly, we have lost that goonness if we ever had it. “People shouldn’t be “surprised that Toronto, playing as vicipus as they did at times, could control us so well in their rink and even in our rink. I would say if there was one mistake we made, it was not establishing ourselves more in their rink.” HAD CHANCES “We had lots of chances,” said general manager Bill Torrey of the Islanders. “I figure we had maybe 15 good scoring chances while they had five. We had open nets, we had posts and we had Palmateer. He had an unbelievable series,”’ Palmat@er allowed only 13 goals in the seven games and he had the only shut out.
