NY Islanders

This year the New York Islanders have sunk to almost record lows in the NHL. It is clear that either
a) the owner Charles Wang is crazy
b) they are in the John Tavares sweepstakes
c) both a) and b)

I remember the Canucks run to the Stanley Cup in 1982 where they played the once almighty New York Islanders .. the most dominant team in the NHL. A family friend at the time was in fact Bob Nystrom's sister so I was torn whether to root for the hometown Canucks or the Islanders (Canucks of course).

Here they are in all there 1979-1983 Stanley Cup dominant glory. A once proud franchise that has fallen off the radar in the NHL.
