On May 24, 1980, Bob Nystrom scores the overtime winner to give the New York Islanders the first of four straight Stanley Cups. The call by Jim Robson.
@goloume They will. Just give them one or two more seasons in the bottom of the rankings, and they’ll become so full of young prospects that they’ll become unstoppable.
I went to the Nassau Coliseum only one, back in December 2010 against the Trashers(I was with the Nordique Nation). It seems weird to see the Nassau full of fans . I hope the Islanders will be dominant once again
The presenter makes a horrible mistake at the end. He says Nystrom scored 4 playoff OT goals in his career the first of which delivered the Islanders to their first stanley cup. That's absolutely not true: he scored four, one of which was scored in 78 vs. the MapleLeafs, plus another in 79 vs. the Rangers, plus another in the 80 Semis vs. Buffalo, and THEN this. This was the LAST of his 4 playoff OT goals. It's not relevant to the importance of the game but it's an awful error.
@NPRMc my fave player all time. its so rediculous that your entry into the hall of fame lives and dies on stats. the islander dynasty wouldn't have been the same without him.
Nystrom was one of these strange players who underwent some sort of transformation from the regular season to the playoffs. He would usually score about 20 goals through the season, but as soon as playoffs began, he became offensive powerhouse and would score 20 more in more or less 20 games. I never understood what caused this phenomenon, but hey, this was only the best for the team.
Bob thank you so much for signing my jersey tonight at the Draft Party. I'm a 15 year old kid who will remember it forever and hopeful that the Isles will stay on our proud island. VOTE YES AUGUST 1st! GO ISLANDERS!
@seukfuhi I have heard of this and would like to nominate Michael Ryder to that transformation group as well

If you watch this clip carefully, you'll notice the Flyers don't even touch the puck from 1:12 to when the goal is scored, a span of 26 seconds.
