I can't wait until they tear down that bus driver pussy heat hole known as Nassau Coliseum..... I know tons of people from L.I. who hate that place. It's a dump. A Billy Joel stinks too. What good has ever come out of Long Island
Like any upstart NHL team, (most notably the Flyers & Islanders), they rocket to great success very early, while being very talented, but extremely brash goons, only to see very little success there after, if not many disappointments, because they deserve nothing more than their one time under the sun. Congrats Nystrom, you have the cups, but now your Isles have to suffer and pray someone takes that Di-pussy-ietro contract. Blueshirts forever!
@lighthouse44 It's well "WRITTEN" you moron. We are not speaking here. We are writing, typing, posting, but we are not "SAYING" anything. Do you think letters and books "say" things too? They "read" you ignorant uneducated fool. Get it right moron. It figures a moron would agree with the stupid jealous drivel of someone not smart enough to make it in the idiots section of a moron society.
@LIBERALSrSTUPID1 LMAO!!!! There is nothing more pathetic and laughable than a bitter Fishstick fan ranting incoherently about absolutely nothing. Face it pal, the Islander fan base walked away when the team stopped winning stanley cups and your team has been the laughing stock of the NHL ever since. The fact of the matter is that the islanders have been a pathetic joke of a franchise for the vast majority of their existence. You know it's true, hence, your pent up anger. Deal with it, you tool.
@lighthouse44 I stated facts and corrected your childlike grammar. The anger and the jealousy is being projected by you onto others. Your anger exists not only because the Islanders HAVE to be mentioned in any discussion of the greatest sports Dynasties in the history of any sport, but because there is nothing any of you fools can do to change that. What you don't get and will never understand is that growing up as an Islanders fan meant you win the Stanley Cup or you fail. The last 20 years....
@lighthouse44 ...have no bearing on the Islanders Dynasty, and that angers you more than anything else. When I was in High School hockey seemed so important, now that I have had a job for the last 25 years, it's not so important anymore. Sorry you lack the intelligence to understand that. Your jealousy is eating away at you. No amount of your misplaced anger and jealousy is going to change history. It bothers you that the Isles won as many Cups in 36 months as the Rangers won their history. LMAO
@LIBERALSrSTUPID1 Your unneccessarily long-winded tirades are indicative of a typical angry fishstick fan who is stuck in the past. Do you realize how foolish and pathetic you sound boasting about something that happened nearly 30 years ago? I guess that's all you CAN do since your joke of a team has done nothing since then but suck royally in front of half-empty arenas. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
@lighthouse44 Posting facts that can't be debated because they are facts must be "long winded tirades" to an idiot. Posting facts is not "boasting" it is what it is posting facts. The Islanders franchise should always be proud of being one of the great Dynasties in all sports history. They should also continue the work necessary to get back to their former greatness. Will they or anyone ever get there? Probably not, but that should always be the goal. As for you, your jealousy has clouded the...
@lighthouse44 ...limited intelligence that you continue to demonstrate. You are angry because even as pathetic as the Islanders have been the last 20 years, that has failed to change the fact that the Islanders are and must be considered one of the great Dynasties in the history of team sports. That fact can't be disputed, and that is the real source of your anger, jealousy, rage, and stupidity. Or maybe none of that has anything to do with it, and you're just a fucking idiot. LMAO!
@DehumanizingSounds Any Islanders fan will take 50 losing seasons as payback for the DYNASTY that the Isles produced. The truly great thing about the Islanders Dynasty is that it still burns Ranger fags to this day. To describe the Islanders as "goons" just demonstrates your ignorance regarding hockey. The Islanders never embarrassed themselves or the league prior to, during, or after their Dynasty. Take a look at the brawls and embarrassing acts that took place after the Isles Dynasty run.
@DehumanizingSounds The Islanders, even 30 years after their Dynasty, are still the greatest hockey team. They accomplished things that other teams have never even come close to since. 19 straight playoff rounds. Has any team even won in double digits? (maybe the Wings in the 90's maybe won 10 rounds straight, maybe). 4 straight cups. 2 has been the max the last 30 years. 5 straight Finals appearances. Even the great Oilers couldn't even get back 3 times in a row. They are a team for the ages!
I heard Don Maloney talking about this fight in an interview. He said he just looked at Nystrom and then Nystrom came at him like the "Tasmanian Devil" and that his head was hurting for a couple of weeks afterwards.
Either way Nystrom had plenty of chances to go after Beck and Fotiu when they were on the Rangers and he never did. I remember Fotiu nailed Nystrom with a check to the boards and Nystrom got up talked shit but never made a move. However, Nystrom once got the better of Nicky when Fotiu played with the Whalers.
Either way nothing! LOL...With the Rangers Beck & Fotiu would have handed Nystrom his ass. Everyone knows Gillies was the real animal on the Islanders and Beck and Fotiu no doubt could have held their own with him.
I am sure Gillies and Howatt would have something to say about that.
We won 4 straight Stanley Cups because we not only had the talent, but we also had the muscle.
So you are wrong.
Nystrom was no slouch and Gillies would just scare the shit out of players with a stare. Beck was a pussy and Fotiu was a crap hockey player from the stench of Staten Island.
@tedfio1tedfio1 Not sure about that. Bobby was really quick with his fists. Fotiu was a real boxer and knew how to throw from a technical standpoint. Just watch his battle against Big Behn Wilson.
Beck was really powerful, but was NOT a great fighter, but could knock the crap outta people if he got in a punch or two. Beck rarely fought any other of the NHL heavyweights.
Fotiu did fight Nystrom later in their careers and I would have said it was a solid draw.

Maloney was a rookie that season, and rookies do stupid things, like trying to pick a fight with guys like Bob Nystrom.
mrceebees14 2 years ago
"So you are wrong." About what?
Howatt! George McPhee could whip him.
"Beck was a pussy" now I know you are clueless. No Islander went near him!
Fotiu crap! He could kick Nystrom's ass and without doubt hold his own against Gillies.
"We won 4 straight Stanley Cups" I stand corrected; I did not know you played for the Islanders LOL...
tedfio1tedfio1 2 years ago
Why didn't Nystrom go after Fotiu or Beck? Either would have kicked his ass.
tedfio1tedfio1 2 years ago
Beck wasn't on the Rangers yet and Fotiu I don't know.
But if you watched closely Maloney said something to Nystrom, Don bascially asked for it.
mrceebees14 2 years ago
Either way Nystrom had plenty of chances to go after Beck and Fotiu when they were on the Rangers and he never did. I remember Fotiu nailed Nystrom with a check to the boards and Nystrom got up talked shit but never made a move. However, Nystrom once got the better of Nicky when Fotiu played with the Whalers.
tedfio1tedfio1 2 years ago
Either way nothing, Beck wasn't the team for another couple of years.
Nystrom did fight Fotiu, but Maloney should have kept his mouth shut.
Nystrom nearly always got the better of the opponent, no one wanted to fight Bobby.
mrceebees14 2 years ago
Either way nothing! LOL...With the Rangers Beck & Fotiu would have handed Nystrom his ass. Everyone knows Gillies was the real animal on the Islanders and Beck and Fotiu no doubt could have held their own with him.

OK. So who lost more fights? Don Maloney or brother Dave ? They should have fought each other once so one of them could have won a fight.

I thought it was Dave, but Dave wore #15, that is Don Maloney who had no business wanting to go with Nystrom.
I would guess this was 1978-79, so this was Don's rookie season.
