Cup Continued from Page 13 "We expect a tough game." Gretzky said. "We don't want to change a lot about our game. There'll be a lot of flying from both teams. "But we've had a lot of experience in the Stanley Cup finals. We know the next win will be the hardest." The Flyers will have to win three games In a row If they want to take the Cup.

Only once in Stanley Cup history has a come back from a 3-i deficit in the finals the 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs against the Detroit Red Wings. For more recent inspiration, the Flyers could draw upon the performances of the New York Islanders and Red Wings, both of whom rallied from 3-1 deficits in playoff series this season. The Islanders did It against the Washington Capitals in a first-round series, then almost did it again against the Flyers In the Patrick Division finals before losing In Game 7. The Red Wings did it against Toronto in the Smythe Division finals. "It's not insurmountable." Flyers right wing Rick Tocchet said.

"It's like climbing a mountain. It's going to be tough, but I think we've got a lot of mountain climbers here. "The Islanders have done It and we can draw from the Islanders' character. "If there's a team In the NHL that can do it, I think we can do It." Along with the 1942 Maple Leafs, and the Islanders and Red Wings In 1987. only one other team in NHL history has come back from a 3-1 deficit in the playoffs the 1975 Islanders against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Despite their commanding lead in the series, the Oilers are anything but cocky. "The Flyers are not going to roll over and give us the Stanley Cup." Gretzky said. Added Oilers' defenseman Kevin Lowe: "The Flyers have one quality, and that's a lot of blood and guts. We saw it in the Islanders and Montreal series (in the Wales Conference finals)."
