  • Let's go Islanders!

  • mr. wang just put a team on the ice and they will fill this arena

  • I think this is the greatest Islanders moment outside of their 4 Cup wins. This goal won the game and tied the series.

  • Best Fans ..Deserve a new arena

  • That was ok. I guess.

  • McCabe fucks up again. Well done.

  • @akssachdev callin them a "professional sports team" is a bit of a stretch their an AHL team at best, and for the AHL 14 dollars for shitty seats in a shit arena, with shitty traffic is a lot

  • awesome cele

  • Not a happy moment.

  • great moment in islanders history

  • How in the world is that a clear breakaway?

  • @jegolden1 turning in to the net the TOR player was already down and Bates was a full stride ahead of him, albeit at an angle coming in. I always thought if the Leaf player didn't go down, maybe Bates doesn't score, but who ever that was made a split second decision. Doesn't really matter now, does it??

  • they used to yank that horn all night i miss the old days but opening day was packed i think that we make the playoffs and this is atmosphere is happening again

  • Howie Rose= One of the greatest play-by-play announcers of all time, at least as hockey and baseball goes.

  • hopefully the coliseum can get this loud again this year

  • that shit is loudddddddddd

  • I was at this game with my Dad and sister and it was incredible and a memory I'll never forget. Please VOTE YES on August 1st so other people can have amazing memories like this!

  • I was at that game when I was five and can only remember the loudest crowd cheer ever

  • Comment removed

  • Best moment in nyi history since STC run in 80's hope they make playoffs this year

  • Great series...another big moment...another CuJo failure.

    Awesome goal. I'd love to see the Isles get decent again.

    STEVE WEBB!

  • I love how the goal horn guy totally reminded CuJo that he got scored on by adding at least another 15 seconds onto the original blast of the horn haha

  • Still gives me chills.

  • i was here

  • even as a Pens fan I have to say watchout the Islanders are a team on the rise with John Tavares, Matt Moulson, Kyle Okposo, Michael Grabner, Josh Bailey they are on the rise

  • most intense sporting event i've ever been to

  • thts the last the old barn rocked like tht

  • 12 are leafs fans lol

  • He (sh O_O ts) he scoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooorzzzzz

  • my dad drank with his dad every weekend when they were in their 20's, beat that

  • The Islanders were the better team in this series.If it wasn't for the dirty cheap play of the dirty leafs,the Isles would have won this series.I also believe they would have went to the finals too.I don't think they would have beat the Wings,because that was simply the greatest one year all-star team ever assembled,but they would have hung in there the best they could.

  • props to the goal horn guy!

  • The Coliseum may be old, but damn can it get LOUD!

  • @NYISLES2191 No kidding...i was at an Isles/Toronto game 3 years ago during x-mas and when we won in OT, the place went bananas. 

  • @clebo99 All it takes is one goal against the Rags and its deafening (sp)

  • Call the Islander a bad team, say we have no fan, mention are attendance.

    We're a great team with a hidden fanbase with overpriced tickets and bad ownership.

    We love hockey, we have history. So don't even try to take that away.

  • @Pika740 overpriced tickets? are you fucking stupid? Islander tickets are like 14 dollars if youre a student. FOURTEEN DOLLARS FOR A PROFESSIONAL SPORTS GAME... also learn to spell... you meant "our" not "are"

  • @akssachdev That comment is nearly two years old. Obviously ticket prices changed. It doesn't disprove the other facts; not to mention the arena is a dump and transportation is a mess.

    For the franchise to succeed we need a new arena. Quit being grammar nazi.

  • @Pika740 right you are

  • @Pika740 Thankyou, enough said

  • They should have made a history will be made out of this. This was a great playoff moment. And this was an unbelievable series. Was able to go to game 3 and 6 with my dad and brother. The atmosphere in that building was unreal. My dad who grew up following the Islanders told me he never heard the coliseum be that loud even during the glory days of the team. I still feel if Peca and Jonnson never got hurt the Isles might have won the series.

  • Loudest arena in the NHL!

  • @Ehxc7 hey ehxc7 I'm bhdplaya the 1 u replied to about u being at the same game... Where u from Suffolk or Nassau county?

  • @xMaNiiAcx I'm out east in Suffolk.

  • @Ehxc7 it’s designed to be loud, it’s got the lowest ceiling of any arena i’ve seen, so the sound reverberates louder, makes it all the better hockey experience....besides that the coliseum is an outdated dump.

  • Islander fan here i agree with Chamilionaire and yes our management is shit

  • One of the greatest moments in sports history, hockey is just so underrated in the US

  • I remember that series as being one of the most exciting in recent ( the last ten years anyway ) Islanders history. Sadly it was the last time they showed any cohesive talent on the ice.

  • i cant wait to hear how loud the coliseum is gonna be the next time the isles make the playoffs and win in the first round, it would be a miracle if they lost on home ice,

    oh i miss play off hockey

  • the islanders r just bad and its not the players its the management. snow is a terrible GM. Scott Gordon cant coach his out of the locker room and someone explain to me y millbury is still in the organization he may not have a title but he is still there. He ran that team into the ground. The face of the Islanders is mr. rick "hurts his vag" DiPietro and he has the most lucrative contract in sports. Dont even get me started on charles wong he should sell the team to Bossy and make evry1 =)

  • @wwefan9458

    Ummm.....Mike Millbury has NOTHING to do with the Islanders anymore.

  • @ReaganSmash360 um yea he is he's their spiritual advisor and he started the islanders downfall

  • @wwefan9458 I am not the biggest fan of Snow but hes not bad

    If Gordon can't coach out of the locker room like you say then why was he made assistant for the Olympics last year? Also coached the World Championships in Germany this year as well.

  • As a Habs fan that absolutely despises Toronto, thank you Mr. Bates!

  • @FuturePBABowler Yes this really gave nightmares as a leaf fan

  • I cant wait for 2 year to come, the islanders will be a great playoff contender, and thats coming from a ranger fan. Taveres will have a great NHL career and Okposo is a great player, i no the Isles are 12 in the East right now but when DP comes back, the Isles will be in good shape, u just gotta hope DP can stay healthly.

    But what do i know, im a Rangers fan :)

  • Your amazing!

  • im pretty shure they will next year

  • @VTfan25 Dp wont stay healthy, i really hope they buy him out, and im an isle fan

  • i was there haha that was like one of the best sports moments ever omg

  • Watching this gives me goosebumps--I miss this team and the 06-07 Islanders--if only Alexei Yashin played on the fourth line and he used his body once in a while.

    Players don't stay on the team because nobody shows up to their games, and Milbury was a psycho who would trade you away or refuse to negotiate a contract if you had a good season.

  • Relax man, the team this year is looking pretty good.

  • what a great game. Still one of the best playoff series ever...to bad the Make Beliefs won

  • longest goal horn ever

  • I loved this shot, and I bought season tickets this year, I am making slide show videos, if anyone would like to see it. Its going to be pics in a slide show of every game i go to.

  • wow great goal

  • bosoxnation=15-17yo twerp....lol

  • hey slocinmi...how dem isles doin this season? they got 3/4 pts from carolina AND washington...both away...thats wats up

  • Mike Milbury at 1;54

  • i was that game what a great game i was behind the penalty box about 5 rows from it i had a great view

  • @Bhdplaya I was at this game too. Row 15 even with the goal line to Curtis Joseph's right.  Who was the bald guy that painted his face amd head all white? You must have of saw him. The whole game he just stared and pointed to him thought out the entire game. What a game and series! It sucked that the Islanders lost.

  • One of the greatest moments in New York Islander history

  • yea

  • this was a great moment... dam

  • I'm a Devils fan, and I even get goosebumps watching this.

  • A great day for Isles fans,Bates did only one thing great for the isles dat was it cuz he never did anything else.........

    Next is Taveras.....................

  • o yeah. cant wait for tomorrow and then 2-3 years from now with okposo, and tavares.

  • lol same here

  • what memories and now a new age of Isles hockey is unraveling and it all starts with Taveres to okposo down to weight and Hunter-Bergenhiem-Neilson.

  • Boy do I remember tht...Once I saw tht he scored I went nuts...I didnt think he was gonna score and he had the nerve to beat curtis joseph on a penalty shot...I'm a die hard Islander fan so yea lol and I'm 16 and I still go crazy and scream at the tv when I watch them every day hahaha :)

  • same yo...im 16 and even tho the isles lost that series that was the best fucking series i ever watched...i went to one of the games too but i get goose bumps every time i watch this

  • Yea man it sux tht now the team has crashed down but hey now tht we have Taveras? WHAT? The islanders are gonna be Nasty this season =]

  • yea its about time okposo gets some help

  • I agree that the atmosphere at the Coliseum for that series was as electric as any sporting event can be. Even in the Isles' playoff series in 2003, 2004, and 2007 they had great crowds. I agree the Coliseum is old, but put a quality team on the ice and get in the playoffs and that place will be rocking again.  It's a shame that the Isles have fallen on hard times. Hopefully, getting John Tavares in the Draft this year will turn the team around and keep them on LI.

  • huge ranger fan however i was at this game and this was the loudest i have ever heard any hockey arena and the 4th loudest i have ever heard a sporting event in my life (after plaxico's td catch in the super bowl, boone's walk off, and jeter's walk off in the 01 world series) i hope the islanders can rebuild their franchise because it is always fun watching another metro area team crash the playoff party and rejuvenate the metro area rivalry

  • As a diehard Ranger fan who enjoys the intense bitter rivalry, I too hope the Isles can rebuild and survive on Long Island.

    As for where I was when that penalty shot happened, working as an NHL researcher for ESPN on you guessed it. That series! I saw it at work.

    What a great shot.

  • I've been an Islanders fan my whole life (33 years and counting) and while I was too young to truly cherish the glory days, I'm glad I got to see this one. It's sda what has happened to our once proud franchise. At least for a moment we were able to forget

  • holy hell, that was loud! haha

  • Shawn Bates Rocks wickid shot!!!

  • that was thelongest horn ever and LETS GOISLANDERS

  • Comment removed

  • hahahah Blake on Long Island. I bet he wishes he was on the other side for this series. :)

  • Yeah because he is so much better off in toronto. Why toronto wins the stanley cup every year! Oh wait....

  • YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!

    This one WAS EPIC !!!!!

  • best celebration ever i trie to do it and i do its so fun

  • Leafs fan here....MY FAVOURITE SERIES!!! every game was intense!!!!

  • and it felt great to win the series in the end!

  • @chamillionaire5600 As an Isles from '72, I agree it was so intense. Enjoyed it alot...except Game 7.

  • @chamillionaire5600 i remeber this series so intense islanders crowd was soo loud i would love to see a playoffs game next year i hope they make it

  • I love this video, i watch it every now and then and it puts me in a good mood, go Isles, stay on Long Island!!

  • +1

    I don't care what team you're a fan of, watching stuff like this is like injecting pure "happy" into your veins.

  • i agree

    (devils fan here)

  • im a rangers fan but howie rose is a great announcer. but maybe thats cuz im a mets fan

  • i went to the devils game last night verse the islanders. i was at this game. i dont care how bad the islanders are they still are my favorite and if they move that will be my whole childhood out the door. i was 8 years old at this game, please stay on long island. kansas city is not worthy

  • there going to kansas city that is horrible and how about the lighthouse project if they move i will die!!!1

  • no thyll stay dont worry

  • This is why they shouldn't go newhere but the island

  • try 16234 u fuckin retard

  • SHAWN BATES, plays (thank god) for HIFK in finland now :)

  • This has got to be one of the coolest penalty shots ever...seriously.

  • Best hockey game I've ever been to. I don't think I've ever heard a crowd louder than that night (including at MSG). It's a shame the team has been piss poor for a good part of the past decade...

  • I don't think I'm gonna watch Islanders games anymore. Every time they play I'll just watch Islanders highlights on youtube for a couple hours and use my imagination to pretend that they are not having a piss poor season.

  • NYI SUCK !!!!!!

  • what a shot..

  • islanders just lost to penguins two nights ago 9-2 they are in trouble this season

  • The song is "Pressure" by Billy Joel. Shawn Bates we can use you now!

  • Thanks! That's a great choice for a penalty shot song! Bates is doing well in hifk, he's been on the ice more than 20 minutes a game :)

  • moments like this iz y i luv da NHL. listen 2 da crowd how can u not wanna b apart of that wow!

  • Anyone know what that song is in the backround from around 0:20 to 1:03?

  • the islander fans are great, always cheering, about something

    LETS GO ISLANDERS!!

  • i been 2 a lotta coliseum games but wow listen to that arena roar. i was there lolsss

  • I love guys like Shawn Bates. An underappreciated, hard working forward gets a moment like this and boy does he follow through.

    Even as a Devil fan, I love this moment because I liked Bates a lot and it is such a great shot and reaction by the crowd that it just gets to me. It's an awesome moment, hope Bates is doing well in Finland.

  • dude yea i was there, and iv been to plenty games in my life i never heard the coliseum shake like that

  • Shaws Bates has been awesome here in finland! 1+7 in 3 games...

  • This was the best series I ever watched. I remeber the havoc that Steve Webb caused in this one. Awesome series and the Leafs won too, WOOT!.

  • The Islander fans are great fans.  It's a shame this team has sucked for the most part of the last 15 years. That 2002 season was the first time in 9 years they had a decent team and they haven't had a decent team since then.

  • hmmm, that other toronto team better be better than the leafs or im leaving this town -_-

  • what other team? are u on drugs?

  • Bryan McCabe fucking things up for Leafs. What else is new?

  • yeah thats a penalty shot!!

  • welcome to hifk!!!

  • Better treat him right cuz we loved him on the Island

  • dont worry well take great care

  • Welcome to IFK!

  • Welcome to Helsinki Shawn!

  • Awesome goal!! Welcome to HIFK :D

  • Welcome to IFK Helsinki!!

  • i really cant get over how good of a moment this was in islanders history, i was there i got the chills, 6 years later im still getting them from watching this, its so fuckin awsome.

  • O_o You're right! lol Doesnt even look like a girl.. XD

    i heart this 6P

  • The islanders are amazing there horn is so cool and loud it is one of the ludest areas in nhl

  • fffffuck ya

  • hurricanes have a louder arena

  • Yeah, real loud. Those 57 fans in the arena get so out of hand.

  • i know its always never filled.. but, the fans there.. all the fans there, are always cheering and screaming.

  • I'm a Rangers fan, but damn I love this goal horn! It's a shame teams aren't allowed to let them run that long anymore.

  • there not allowed to let them run for a long time?

  • fuck the rangers

  • yeah huh?

  • I have to say when that place is juiced up no NHL arena can rock as loud as the Coliseum.

  • neg, belle centre and edmonton.

  • In regards to my previous post, there will be no beer for the Ranger fans.(Except maybe B2B76) There are just too many Ranger fans commenting on this awesome Islanders clip. I guess the Ranger fans ran out of good Ranger clips to watch.

  • If and when the Islanders win the Stanley Cup again I will buy a beer for everyone who comments on this video.

  • Too bad Nassau Coliseum hasn't rocked liked that since. Fucking Mike Milbury, what an douchebag. 10 years for Yashin!!! If anyone wants to knock hockey fans for loyalty, don't ever knock a hardcore Isles fan.

  • Die hard Ranger fan here, but I give the Isles a ton of credit for hanging in there in this series, they played their hearts out & survived several cheap shots up until Gm 7. Bates is a blood & guts player but is to injury prone. Is he still an Islander?

  • no we just paid him the rest of his contract so we can fill the roster with someone that wont be in a suit the whoel season

  • mike milburry - what a penis head

    Lets get Huselious now!

  • Islanders my fav team wish they could have won game 7

  • Should*

  • Wow, Bryan McCabe took out Bates. Why am I not surprised?

  • I was at this game with my brother, I never heard the Coliseum so loud. Definitely the best game I've ever seen live

  • i hope the islanders will be good next season cause i miss the colliseum geting loud like that.

  • I'm a Devils fan, but hearing that crowd reaction sends chills down my spine. What a great moment.

  • Ditto from a Wings fan. The excitement from the crowd makes this enjoyable for anyone, except I suppose, a Leafs fan.

  • Favorite Islander goal of all time

  • that old guy in front of mike milburn is hilarious. go islanders i hope we make the playoffs next yr

  • What is that song name what hear before Isles penaltyshot..?

  • Pressure by Billy Joel.

  • 1:13 the crowd errupts when he scores. amazing.

  • that was a rocket of a shot
