Tomas Johnsson goal Islanders vs Rangers (1984)

Tomas Johnsson's goal in the third period gives the New York Islanders a 2-1 lead over the New York Rangers in this fifth and deciding game of the opening round. The Rangers would come back to tie the game late in third, and setting the stage for Ken Morrow's dramatic winner in over time, and keeping the "Drive for Five" alive.

Great video, thanks for the upload. Just a tip though, his name is Jonsson.

@goisles I have that game on tape from when I taped it back then. I also have the radio broadcast on tape from that night. The shaft of the stick can not be high then the Shoulder, if you look at the tape, the BLADE is a tad higher than his Shoulder, but the shaft is not, that is why a-lot of people I think get confused. He also was off balance and reaching to tap it with the stick, so to raise the stick he would have missed.

The goal was good..........but Moses goal at the end was better : )

@dzanier You know what I can't find? A video of Maloney's last-minute goal from this game. I know people who still swear up and down from both Isles fans and Rag fans whether or not it was a high stick.

It was without a doubt one of the greatest games ever played. As a Rangers fan it was tough to accept, because the Rangers played as well as they could possibly play in that series. I was 12, and after Morrow scored I cried.

This was quite possibly one of the greatest hockey games ever played.

Game 6 vs. Philly in '80, game 5 vs. Pittsburgh in '82, & this game - EXTREMELY tense crowd, but when they came through, NO building was louder!! Awesome times growing up going to these games.
