Such a great video. Then after 39:00 it gets depressing, knowing what was to come and how this franchise was treated by the people who ran it. And I'm not even an Islanders fan! They HAD a future of winning but Milbury traded it all. We're gonna be a force to reckon with Mike? Then why did you trade every first rounder within 3 years and not give them a chance to grow together? Lol at Bertuzzi looking like a grunge rocker.
My heart broke for this young, improving team I found on Channel 9 one Saturday night at age eleven while waiting for Racing From Yonkers (or Roosevelt) to come on at 11:30.
Islanders should have won in 1978 and 1979-and hence 6 Stanley Cups in a row. And I will always believe that the fix was in for the Oilers in 1984 when the NHL changed the finals playoff format to 2-3-2 from 2-2-1-1-1 (they claimed it was to "save money from travel" expenses). Yet mysteriously they switched it back to 2-2-1-1-1 just 2 years later

damn i'm old
A lot of bad deals and trades
Bob Nystrom and Clark Gillies look a lot like John Davidson
this team needs to retire the #27 jersey of the great John Tonelli.
