NY Islanders 1982 Stanley Cup Celebration [1/2]

[baseballkidmw2]

@Flipstazzz thank you, we might have rivalries as teams, but your fans are nice to us. Thanks, classy by you flyer fans.

[seffkoful]

no ,this team is more successful than Rangers and Devils

Islanders 4 Stanley Cups / 40 years of team existence

Devils 3 Stanley Cups / 29 years of team existence

Rangers 4 Stanley Cups / 85 years of team existence

[dmz4144hen]

this team sucks you guys are all pussies....

[SOLIDSNAKEXXX360]

LOL THE CANUCKS HAVE CHOKED 3 TIMES NOW. Good thing Kesler wasnt even born.

[Flipstazzz]

I may be a Flyers fan but I hate how ppl these days say stuff like "Islanders Suck" or "Islanders should move to Quebec city or Kansas City". The Islanders are a classic and they're not going anywhere. Sure the Islanders haven't been great for awhile but their history is great.

[potvinscups]

@Flipstazzz thank you, classy statement

[HomeskooledVideo]

My sister was at that game, I was so jealous at home watching it on TV

[ThePelicans44]

LETS GO ISLANDERS

[WEINBAUER]

Those Canucks jerseys are disgusting looking,lol.

[FAITHandLOGIC]

Worst jerseys ever! (Vancouver)

[storeflack]

Chang should be fired

[znogypogy]

MY PICK AS GREATEST HOCKEY CLUB EVER. THEY WERE THE PERSONIFICATION OF DEPTH. GOALTENDING, DEFENCE, OFFENCE, TOUGHNESS FINESSE. THERE WASN'T ANYTHING ANOTHER TEAM COULD BRING TO THE TABLE THAT THEY COULDN'T DO BETTER.....

[ramzi1979]

who says vancouver has never seen the stanley cup :)

[spokaneINJUNeer]

TROTTIER!

[Littleguidofan]

go isles go, okposo, moulson and tavares will lead us back to the cup

[MrSinister99]

Classless Canadians...booing? the great Islanders dynasty? wow, what a hockey country!

[Tubewings]

@MrSinister99 Apparently, Canadians don't like it when an American team wins the Stanley Cup in their country, and I can't say that I blame them.

Oh, and the last time an American team won the Stanley Cup in Canada prior to this? 1940

[franzy1]

They still haven't put together a team as a good as this one..Gretzky Oilers were close, but they kept replacing role players like they were interchangeable parts. This was the last true NHL Dynasty and the year 82 will always be special as the time King Richard carried the Clutch and Grab Canucks to the promised land...but like Moses, they weren't allowed in.

[runningback2BC]

CANUCKS ..second BEST that YEAR ..not bad eh?

[landrykkb]

@runningback2BC Not bad at all,considering that it was supposed to be Edmonton representing the Campbell Conference that year in the playoffs!

[fastfootedone]

they definitely were a great team.......as a lifelong Canuck fan - we never really had a chance. some people say if we had somehow won game one in OT it would have been different, and it would have been........it would have been 4-1 instead of 4-0. It's too bad that Harold will take that disappointment to the grave...... b/c in the long run it really didn't matter.

[leadimprov]

Islanders of the early 80s - POWERHOUSE.

[icnerds]

makes me sick

GO CANUCKS GO

[Littleguidofan]

@icnerds canucks fuckin suck, wut chokers no cup for u

[icnerds]

@Littleguidofan ahahah shuddap caaanucks are a greeat teaam and if u are someone tht lives in vancouver or anywhere where ppl love the nucks then ur just the only kid who hates them jus watch from now to they year 2015 well have our cup u lowzy no life fucker

[vettacossx]

@Littleguidofan says the little faggot with no reputaion at all and nothing but FAGGOT COMMENTS click his name read that shit and get a laugh @ this lil QUEER

[Littleguidofan]

@vettacossx wow look at urself in the fuckin mirror, wut a fuckin fag

[bravobravado]

Greatest American Hockey Team of all time.

[HeartInThe60s]

@bravobravado - Im a lifelong, diehard Isles fan, but I see things with a clear eye. I know when they suck, when they're going nowhere & when we have a shot. Right now, today, we're are first in the Conference, but that's not gonna last.  I'm telling people to enjoy it, but we'll look back on it & smile. TSN & THN said we'd be dead last this yr.-I disagree, but we're not winning any Cups. The Dynasty team WAS the greatest American team of all time. Hands down.

[TheHockeyfreak1964]

@bravobravado i guess so not even the Boston bruins with bobby orr could did this

[vikingrich]

@bravobravado

greatest hockey team of all time.

[DAVIDBANNERisAnigger]

Dumbfucks, yeah Islander dumbfucks, yeah Long Island pukes who are looked down at by the Morgans, Chases, Bloombergs and Trumps: your fucking hockey sucks dick. And in case youre wondering how powerful your team is (or weak), they held their training camp in Saskatoon Canada to make a point, the Long Island fans have given up on a dipshit hockey franchise that was lucky for many years and never, ever, the greatest dynasty in my ESTEEMED opinion. Wake the fuck up IslandersPOWER !

[mrceebees14]

The Isles had to win more to win their cups in the 1980's than the Habs in the 1970's and certainly more than the ones in the 1950's.

[tonythetigerII]

Bossy, i mean. From Montreal.

[tonythetigerII]

mrceebees14, not so sure. Trottier was from regina. Potvin from Hull which is still basically french,but extensively bilingual. And was, of ciurse, a bona fide Montrealer. So I am not too sure how much french they all spoke, but if you have info, i`d be delighted to know cause language relations interest me very much.

[mrceebees14]

Trottier was from Val Marie, Saskatchewan. Gillies played for Regina after he turned down a chance to play pro-baseball with the Houston Astros.

They spoke mostly French, if read Potvin's book written in 1976 he was picked on by English speaking kids that refered to him as a "Pepsi." Trottier, Bossy, Potvin were all fluent in French and spoke that primarily on road trips.

[ghost111uin]

suckers

[thelanceman]

I'm not taking nothing away from the Islanders but the Penguins had them beat in the first round, up 3-1 with 6 minutes left then the Isles scored on a PP and then a puck jumped over Randy Carlyle's stick. And Mike Bullard missed a breakaway. But, that's the way it went.

[mrceebees14]

You could never count the Isles out back then.

[SFFOOL76]

Im not a Islanders fan, however there is a phrase 'YOU MAKE YOUR OWN LUCK' .

[tubage07]

Islanders>Oilers

[fuckutube15]

nux 4 cup 09

[mrceebees14]

ummmm.........no

[ponnapal]

Oilersstrangledisles , or whatever you want to call yourself (like vegetative moron). If you look at the numbers I posted it's pretty obvious that the Canadiens were totally better than both the Oilers and the Islanders.

The Islanders were better than the Oilers . The difference between the Oilers and the Islanders is very little. But the Canadiens are clearly better than both. Their domination covered both the regular season and a very difficult post season with tough opponents.

[OILERSSTRANGLEDISLES]

ponnapal: for the record I am the same guy as OILERSLIQUIDATEISLES. And I dont tolerate any fucking asshole who claims that the 80s Islanders had the greatest dynasty. Even a fucking drunk knows the Islanders were weak, misguided, lucky and ridiculously dirty. Yes Billy Smith should have been banned forever for his vicious play (yeah what about that high stick to Lindy Ruffs eye in the 1980 playoffs? EH?) Talk about nasty shit. Thats probably worse than me fucking ur mama ya old bitch! LOL

[jordanjcm]

Oh my god! Who cares Get over it man. Both these teams suck so bad. You are going back like, 25 years to find glory. So long ago It might be a dream. LOL. You say weak and misguided? well whatever...that describes both these teams now so your even....LOL

[wdsftygt]

fuck u french pussy why the fuck did habs have 1st draft pick when they would finish 1st overall in 40s 50s and 60s bullshit oilers dominate habs but im from vancouver and at least my canucks r still kickin ass in playoffs and habs r givin rimjobs to berbers back in the motherland

[mrceebees14]

Hey moron, being an Isles fan myself and living through that era, we had a ton of French Canadians on our team. What? You think Potvin, Trottier and Bossy are Anglo names? Nearly every player with the exception of a handful could fluently speak French and they spoke it to eachother often.

[DAVIDBANNERisAnigger]

A u a nigger TOO?

[mrceebees14]

I know who you are, you need to stop "Candienpower."

[PopsDizzy]

yeah but not as bad as you porking your dad... which is what you do when your not spunking in your little brothers eye!

[lakeerie90s]

Billy smith wasn't the only dirty shit, what about Chris Chelios nearly killing Bryan Propp in 89 slamming him face first into the boards, and Claude Lemieux doing the same to Kris Draper in 96. Todd Bertuzzi assault on steve moore was nothing compared to those incidents.

[OILERSSTRANGLEDISLES]

ponnapal: are you forgetting something here? you fail to mention that the 70s CANADIENS were the greatest. You fail to acknowledge that the Islanders' opposition in the 81 and 82 playoffs was ridiculously and disgustingly weak. And youre forgetting who has the all the team records (Canadiens) and who has all the individial records (Oilers with Gretzky and Coffey). What did the Islanders accomplish? They beat a dying nigger in 81 and a dying chimp in 82. Wow big woopie. Strong man there bitch LOL

[rrh1980]

jesus, they almost dropped the cup twice...

[ponnapal]

Oilersliquidateisles, check out the Montreal Canadiens in their glory days

76- 82,101,118  total = 301 avg= 100.33

77- 73,106,106.total=285 avg=95

78- 78, 92, 113 total=283 avg=94.33

79- 100,91 total=272 avg=90.66

So the absolute EASIEST year the Habs had was about the absolute HARDEST year the Oilers faced in their run. True, there's only 3 rounds, but this is just astounding.

Isles and Habs had to work for a living to get Stanley cups. Not so with the Oilers.

[ponnapal]

So Oilersliquidateisles, the reality is that the Oilers had an easy pass to the finals through 3 rounds . They never had an amazingly tough year like 1980 (beating #1, #3, #4 teams) with an astounding 101.25 points average.

Oilers are simply overrated- plain and simple. They had a great team, but playing a bunch of worthless Campbell conference opponents and being well rested for the finals made them look better than they were.

[jordanjcm]

Hey OilersucksodoIsles or whatever your name is. Let it go man. Let it go. No one really cares about the past.

[wdsftygt]

who cares if its 25 years if teams today had character we wouldnt always be looking back fondly where the fuck have u been retro is cool

[jordanjcm]

Are you saying teams of the eighties had no character because people back then were looking in the past at other glory teams? That is what you said. You said "if teams today had character we wouldnt always look back?" Your the one looking back. I think todays guys have more character than ever. Your just getting OLD.

[ponnapal]

Oilersliquidateisles: Average quality of opposition : 1980 NYI 101.25 points (405 4 rounds) 1981 NYI 76.5 (306 4 rounds) 1982 NYI 81.5 (326 4 rounds) 1983 NYI 97.5 (390 4 rounds). If you include 1984 for NYI It's 388 for 4 rounds. 1990 for the Oilers is as weak as any of the other years. 1984 Oilers 86.75 (347 4 rounds) 1985 Oilers 91.5 (366 4 rounds) 1987 Oilers 84 (336 4 rounds) 1988 Oilers 92.25 (369 4 rounds) It's because the Oilers played a sexier style that it's easy to get duped.

[OILERSLIQUIDATEISLES]

trottiertobossy: again youre an asshole. what book are you reading? Hockey for dummies? you must be you fucking retard. the islanders WERE THE most overated dynasty in history of sports. you dont pussies (81 north stars and 82 canucks) and call yourself champions. its ridiculous to compare the isles to the habs of the 70s. AND get this: with the real record (5 straight Cups) on the line the Isles choked and blamed the schedule. lame excuse coming from a lame dynasty. go figure islander morons.

[ponnapal]

Not only were they in the semifinals 9/10 years, in 2 of those years they beat Montreal 3 games in the playoffs.

The significance is that those were the ONLY losses the great Montreal Canadiens had in their run. The Islanders were the toughest competition they faced on their way to their 4 cups.

It's truly the most underrated dynasty in history. The Oilers are the most overrated.

The state of the franchise now is sad.

[dzanier]

Good point. Not too many people remember the 76 and 77(actually those were the only 3 games the habs lost in 76 & 77,not the entire 4-year run) Islanders who gave the habs a good battle.They lost 3 or 4 one-goal games in those two series and actually won an OT game in Montreal (Harris got the goal). The dynasty is underated because of the state of the franchise now,and also they were a suburban team playing in the shadow of the Rangers. I disagree on what you say about the Oilers being overated

[OILERSLIQUIDATEISLES]

Lame excuse for the 70s Islanders. The 78 Bruins beat the Canadiens 4-0 in the worst loss during the dynasty in the playoffs. Islanders in those days were chokers. And they were chokers when the real record was on the line --5 straight Cups. Yeah they fucked up in 84. Not because of Gretz and Mess, but because Grant Fuhr slammed the door on the Islander assholes in game 1, winning 1-0. Crappy dynasty through and through. Only a weakling and idiot claims they are the best.

[rich1mill]

islander fans, just face it your time was done along time ago...keep playing these over and over cause its gonna be the last time you all will ever see it in your possesion again

[trottiertobossy]

The Islanders will always be the greatest American based hockey team and I will put four in a row, 5 straight finals, 19 straight rounds, and semi-final appearances 9 out of 10 years up against any hockey Dynasty. They went to hockey's Final Four 9 out of 10 years! When did the Canadiens do that? Face it, this franchise dominated for a decade like no other possibly in any sport. They rank right with the Yankees of the 40's and 50's, Celtics 60's, Steelers 70's, and Canadiens 50's & 70's.

[ISLANDERSpower]

This is great. Thanks for posting. Because of the Hall of Fame, You Tube and fans like you-The ISLANDERS DYNASTY will never, EVER, be forgotten.

Thanks again.

[nytrayfl]

I was a kid when the Islanders won their 4 Stanley Cups and I just assumed the cup belonged on Long Island. When they lost the cup in '84, it was such a devastating blow that my whole family cried.

[ChrisDutch]

My sentiments exactly. Good things to keep in mind; last professional sports team to appear in a league final five years in a row; 19 straight series wins (no team can match that); Nine appearances in ten years in the semi's (Only the Celtics and Canadiens have done better in any ten year stretch); Last sports team to win four titles in a row (that won't be matched for a while; over 120 wins in post season in ten years; five players in the hall of fame. Great team, for sure

[bandcouver]

Funny how there's no video of The Islanders 4th Stanley Cup win when they took out The Oilers 4-0 in the series in1983. Either the video isn't available or Oilers fans don't want to remember the Islanders did it to them too and the Oilers were much more talented than the Canucks were. The Oilers even hired The Canucks' Roger Neilson in 1984 when they won their first Stanley Cup. Canucks had nothing to be ashamed of in '82. Nobody ever expected The Canucks to be in the final. 'Nuff said.

[boomac62]

Wow....I was 20 yearas old and thought the Canucks uniform was the worst ever in hockey....and i still do. That was ugly

[CCampLI]

Better than any bullshit Ranger team that could've even win 2 in a row, let alone 4 and make it to the finals 5 straight years.

1994 Edmonton Rangers=lucky one year wonders

nuff said.......

[tacoemall666]

i love the islanders, and its great to get to see this, since i wasnt alive then. BUT this was long ago and we need something at least close to this to bring back some islanders pride. Looking toward the future, hoping it doesnt suck, well sucks. i cant wait to see how the 08-09 season goes

[littledogbean]

people always talk about nhl dynasties and they mention montreal, edmonton, new jersey, detroit and always the islanders are overlooked.

the islanders were the last real nhl dynasty.

growing up 3 or more consecutive titles meant you are a dynasty. they won 4 consecutive stanley cups. they went on to win 19 consecutive playoff series, 19 teams beat during their stanley cup runs from 1980 through 1984.

no disrespect to montreal, edmonton, new jersey and detroit what they did was incredible.

[USAGiant]

perfectly said bro. The Islanders are not only overlooked in nhl history but sport history is well. If this was a NYC-based(Manhattan)Toronto, Detroit, or Montreal we would never hear end of it.

The Islanders won 4 staright. They not the Oilers are the team of the 1980's.

[littledogbean]

thanks USAGiant!

that islanders team that won four straight were the bridge from the old school style of play (physical and punishing, "broad street bullies" anyone?) to the new school (speed, skill, fluid play) that edmonton played.

as for not playing in manhattan, so what. I grew up in NYC and i liked the isles. so the isles are not part of the "original 6".

the only team from the original 6 that is relevant today is detroit, the other five are just mediocre at best, just sad.

[USAGiant]

Dogbean i am no "Isles' fan but a causal NHL fan. Winning '19' straight playoff series or winning 2-3 straight titles in era of free agency/salary cap will probably never be achieved again in NHL or probably in all of sports as a whole.

[USAGiant]

woops i meant to type 'more' than 2-3 straight titles lol.

[littledogbean]

i don't know about that USAGiant.

a dynasty in sports in the traditional sense is still possible, look at the lakers run from 2000 to 2002. the yankees 1998 to 2000. also if jordan had not taken up baseball, who knows?

bottom line, it can happen under the right circumstances. but winning 19 straight playoff series, that i find very very difficult to replicate.

[USAGiant]

Dogbean if you read my comments carefully i said **more than 2-3 straight titles.* I am fully aware of Shaq/Kobe Lakers teams from 2000-02 and the Yankees from 1998-2000. Did those '2' teams win beyond '3peat?" No.

I was trying to say winning '4' or more championships while not impossible will be diffcult.

What i dont see probably seeing happening if ever again is a team winning '19 straight' playoff series especially in current era of 3-4 rounds of playoff series in MLB, NBA and NHL.

[USAGiant]

[littledogbean]

ok, my bad. but we are in agreement that four consecutive titles in any of the major sports leagues would be very difficult today, given the climate of contracts and salary constraints.

19 straight playoff series wins, just incredible, but i do believe had jordan not retired, those bulls teams of the 90's had a legitimate shot at it. keep in mind i am a diehard knicks fan.

[CrazyAlvis]

Boy does that bring back memories.

Anybody have a clip of the imfamous "surrendering" incident that spawned the whole white towel movement?

[canucks141]

new york sucks both of their teams beat us

[elzenmahn]

What great sportsmanship displayed by the Canucks fans. Yep, the capital crime of the visiting team winning a championship on your turf.

Canucks fans who were there booing, go to hell. All of you.

[antifascist99]

boh,ka dite?

[shastilivy]

oilers suck.

but really, '77 Cdns. greatest NHL team ever

[heaveho94]

Those fucking Islanders, almost dropped the CUP 2 times. And the Canucks suck, NY ownes them... 1994 rangers!!! hahahaha

[FranceSucks7]

Potvins cups bitch !!! 1 2 3 4

[Maisman]

ur such a fag nintendo, i hate ppl whoo make up this stuff and fall for it

[quixote22]

BOY. They just get right into the celebration. No pomp and circumstance, No long winded speech from the NHL pres, kids running around the ice, only 20 reporters instead of 50.

One day Canucks. That will be us.

[cockmunkey]

cood somebuddy tell me how the Isles met/played Philly in the finals to win the 1st cup?weernt they in the same division/conference?i was too young to remember. also yay Isles were a great dynasty,they past it off to Oilers.only 2 teams won the cup in that decade.had oilers kept Gretzky...shit they wooda one 8-9 cups.

[giantkorean]

Back then each team was seeded in the playoffs by their respective team point total. Philly was the best team record wise in 1979-80, the Islanders fifth.

[USAGiant]

Prior to 1982(i think)all of the NHL playoff team regardless of division/conference were seeded #1-16 and reseeded till the Cup Finals.

[golt73]

Please remember the Isles team of 85 was beaten up physically. Bossy was like 80-percent in the finals and Trots and Gillies were both banged up too. Definitely the Oilers deserve a lot of credit, but the Islanders were a better TEAM. Oilers had far much more talent offensively.

[canadasheel]

Best Dynasties in order: Islanders, 70's Canadiens, 50's Canadiens, Oilers.

Nobody was better than these Islanders although I would have loved to see them play the Canadiens from the 70's.

[gvader]

Everyone loves to talk about the Canadiens but not a lot of people know that the Islanders are the only team in history to win 19 straight playoff series, not games, SERIES!

[ramzi1979]

@gvader and they lost to another dynasty... not too shabby

[HomeskooledVideo]

@gvader

That's only because earlier when Montreal won 5 straight cups they had the first round bye system in place or they would have won over 20

[gvader]

Oh no doubt. I respect the Canadiens they are the best of all time and yes that's true maybe they would have won 20 like you said but the point was let's not forget these Islander teams (yes i know they suck balls today) If only they could have won one more series in 1984 they would have had 5 cups in a row

[HomeskooledVideo]

@gvader

and if Steve Smith didn't score on his own net Edmonton would have had 5 cups in a row and more than 19 series wins, but "almost" is irrevelevant in pro sports. If only Pittsburgh could have won one more game then the Islanders would have only won 3, as long as we're on almosts ;)

[HomeskooledVideo]

@gvader

and if Steve Smith didn't score on his own net Edmonton would have had 5 cups in a row and more than 19 series wins, but "almost" is irrelevant in pro sports. If only Pittsburgh could have won one more game then the Islanders would have only won 3, as long as we're on almosts ;)

[gvader]

Again almost is irrelevant like you said. I'm just surprised that as great as the 94 Rangers were how they never won another cup is incredible. I know the team did make changes so maybe i just answered my own question lol

[HomeskooledVideo]

@gvader

The 94 Canucks were the better team in 4 of the 7 games played and in game 7 the rangers had a goal that was offside too! At least the rags have sucked ever since and now it's the start of the Canucks dynasty unless the league rigs some more games with BS suspensions that only go to teams playing the bruins and never the bruins themselves. NHL is losing what little credibility it has left!

[gvader]

Boy your not kidding!

[2011newjerseyjets]

@HomeskooledVideo

??????????????????????????????­????????????????????????

When Montreal won five cups in a row from 56-60 the playoffs were ONLY TWO ROUNDS.  They won 10 series in a row and lost in the first round going for their sixth. When the Candiens won four in a row from 76-79, they won 16 in a row, won the first round the next year and then lost for a total of 17 in a row which the Islanders topped. That is why that dynasty of the Islanders is the best ever in hockey, hands down!

[HomeskooledVideo]

@2011newjerseyjets

You forget that if you won your division in those years you got a first round bye. For instance in 1975 the Canucks won the Smythe Division and their "reward" was a bye to the quarter finals VS the Montreal Canadiens. I think Montreal beats the Islanders dynasty and so does the oilers 5 cups in 7 years and I hate the shitty oilers

[rhynneross22]

@gvader Their legends

[didtzcrass]

Man, I forgot how ugly those Canuck uniforms were!

[mikethespike75]

Those were the days. The team got to celebrate on the ice, skate around with the cup, and not have this overproduction that includes about 4,000 reporters, everyone's entire family and a whole bunch of other nonsense. .. oh yeah, and the Islanders were amazing. Another plus; no female reporters. I can't stand you Deb Kaufman and the other one on OLN.

[LeeT44]

The Islanders won 19 straight playoff series. They were the best of all time. Edmonton's team WAS intact the first 3 years. Mark Messier himself said that the most underappreciated dynasty-and important one- was The Islanders.

[Queegzzz]

The Oilers would turn out to be better than them. Sure the Islanders were very good but if the economics of the game were to stay the same the Oilers would have won far more Stanley Cups consecutivley.

[mafojr]

19 straight playoff series wins unmatched by and team in any sport beat it,oilers no one cares about western Canada.

[Queegzzz]

When Coffey and Gretzky left the Oilers (for economic reasons) they still found a way to win the Cup in '90. How much more better do you think they would have been if they could have kept those two?

[dzanier]

You're right but the Islanders were affected by those economics before the Oilers. Actually the Islander's owners were worse cause they could have traded in a bolder manner and gotten some value for some fading veterans. But in overall talent Edmonton was better.

[JimR541]

The oilers were certainly a great team but were never better than the Isles. The Islanders just got old. I seem to remember the Isles sweeping the Oilers in 83. The Oilers won the next year but it wasn't a sweep. The Isles taught the Oilers how to win.

[ISLANDERSpower]

Both were great. They split in the finals too. Fitting. Neither one was better. Islanders had staying power-Oilers had fire power. Even Messier(on ESPN)said he and his Oilers wouldn't have been as great as they were if not for the Islanders. Anderson said(same program)he's not concerned the Oilers never won more than two in a row, because it's clear to him and NHL fans both were awesome teams. I agree-Equal.

***Montreal is the greatest organization the NHL has ever seen. Also a fact.

[budbowl77]

The Greatest Dynasty of All time!
