Islanders Degraded By Former Captain

In his address at Pittsburgh's cup parade, former New York Islanders' captain Bill Guerin said about his trade from the Islanders to the Penguins;

"...talk about, you know, upgrading. (chuckle)"

Isles say a disgusting remark; not what I expected from what Guerin was played up to be.

All Hail Al!

Al Arbour is the greatest coach in NHL history; his 1,500 games, 740 wins, and four straight Stanley Cups with the New York Islanders will attest.

Isles say that's a period folks!

Greatest Islanders Moment - May 24th, 1980

May 24, 1980 – Bob Nystrom scores at 7:11 of overtime against the Philadelphia Flyers as the Islanders win their first Stanley Cup. It was a moment of affirmation for many fans, me included.

Isles say the best moment in Islanders history.

Isles Make It Two!

On this day in 1981 the Islanders win their second Stanley Cup, defeating the Minnesota North Stars four games to one. Butch Goring wins the Conn Smythe Trophy.

Which was your favourite cup? Isles say the first one!

On this day in Isles history....

On this day in 1982 Mike Bossy scores a goal while in mid-air. The Isles win game three of the Stanley Cup Final versus Vancouver 3-0. The New York Islanders go on to win their third straight Stanley Cup with a sweep of the Canucks. What are your top five all-time favourite Islanders' goals?

Isles say number one on your list:

1.) May 24th, 1980, Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, 7:11 OT - "…Tonelli to Nystrom, he scores! Bob Nystrom scores the goal; the Islanders win the Stanley Cup."
