Pittsburgh Penguins vs the New York Islanders January, 1981

These are great videos! I must admit some undercurrent of jealousy because although I was alive and remember these Islander teams, I was not old enough to appreciate the Islanders of the early 80's

@jpwjr1199 It was a great time, we had a ton of fun with that team.

Especially when they played the Rangers.

@mrceebees14 I am confused. Who is ''we''? I think we have spoken on YouTube before, and you seem like a nice enough person, but I feel a bit disoriented by your comment to me because I am not sure what you are responding to and why you are talking in the collective

@jpwjr1199 We as in the fans who were alive to enjoy that team back then.

@mrceebees14 Thanks for those kind words! I was in 11th grade when I took my super 8mm camera to a Pens-Islanders game. The Isles were Stanley Cup champs at the time too. I was kinda into Styx back then so I dubbed "Rockin the Paradise" over the footage. Yeah, it's kinda cheesy but it was fun back then. If you notice, a friend who was with me at the time gives Steve Tambellini a shirt which said "Tambellini's Restaurant" on it. That is what he tosses to Tambellini! Classic 1981 footage.
