Multimedia posts on #Isles history, the only U.S. Dynasty, and the ongoing Drive for Five. We’re ready for a rebuild!

From 4/14/1983: A real beauty on #Isles TV. (Also, at left, Carol Alt.) Congrats @StanFischler #40YearsOfFischler

Whatever the score, I enjoy it when the Pens wear their 1993-inspired unis. #Isles

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

Fun to see USA wear jerseys close in appearance to #Isles ’78-’95 road jerseys. Often USA has dressed like NYR instead, e.g. 1960 Olympic gold medal team. #USAvsCAN

Remembering les frères Potvin, as seen in Ottawa. They were more than what they seemed on the surface. Fighters. Winners. Time will tell - but someday we should see this kind of pairing again.

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

@ehornick @TheAthleticNHL @JoshYohe_PGH Yes. NYI AGM Gerry Ehman’s very strong focus on drafting from the WHL (and especially guys who played a lot in Saskatoon, where he was based) also supports the theory that we might well have picked Scissons at 5 or 6.

That’s not a fast car. This is a fast car.

You got a fast car,
I gotta plan to get us outta here.

Memories, today. 💐

/ RIP Glen Cochrane, a tough #Isles opponent. Gratitude for his career and wishing solace to his family and friends.

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

A winner in my eyes who never needs to apologize!

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

#Isles mood. As a parent, I try to convey it’s not right to complain about officiating, but … jeez. It’s been Referee Pittman bad.

Somewhere, Mike Bossy is smiling.

Told ya so. 😄 #Isles

Bo knows hockey. Or should we say Beau? #Isles #GoHabsGo 😉

Before the Fisherman arrr-ives again (sigh) let’s put some more respect on what it tried to replace. This wasn’t the first, and the crest was a tad off, but it was a great look. The CLASSIC Canada Cycle & Motor HOME #Isles jersey from ’87-95. (This one, a 52, and a beaut.)

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

@MatthewDillner And would you believe, a reverse angle shot? 😄

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

@MatthewDillner Was right by ya! Glad you enjoyed (despite the outcome of course)

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

While tonite’s W was great fun, you also saw tonite the strong fabric of this team. Real bonds between #Isles who have grown together - ties that’ll last a lifetime. That team culture starts from the top, with smart, loyal mgmt. Maloney & Mad Mike didn’t develop teams like this.

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

Super weird to see the #Isles 50th anniversary logo on the boards in Carolina, “thanks” of course to dynamic digital advertising… 🤨

[1986 Oilers Day by Day @OilersDayByDay]

A collection of saves and goals from last night’s game between the Islanders and the surprising Blackhawks. Tony Esposito vs Roland Melanson. Tony O got the win (4-2) and will start against the Oilers next game!

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

@OilersDayByDay Indeed recorded circa 1982 at the #Isles practice rink at Cantiague Park on Long Island. NYI practiced there from 1979 to 1992, and the rink still stands today. I posted this video to YouTube ten years ago … forgot about it until today. Thanks for the trip down memory road.

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

While I’m not happy to see the #Isles Fisherman logo back, it’s interesting to see it’s been revised: no capital “I” at the start or “S” at the end. That’s an improvement, as the middle letters spelled out “slander.”(Admittedly, that’s what I thought the Fisherman was anyway.😉)

[Josh Millard @jsmilla]

No need to guess, I’ve sat in those seats. It’s Denver (McNichols Arena), fall 1977, and SI is in town to do a cover story featuring Bryan Trottier, plus super rookie Mike Bossy. #Isles sporting only orange stripes on their road jerseys, which was a one-season-only experiment.

[The Hockey Samurai 侍 @hockey_samurai]

Bryan Trottier, Clark Gillies and the New York Islanders are in town but there are a lot of empty seats. Any guesses on what arena this is?
