Thanks for posting this BC.
Joe Thornton should be drug tested or checked to see if an imposter has taken over his jersey.
The crash of Anaheim's Philly pick
What a drop! They were probably rooting against Philly harder than I was. Bob Murray probably threw a barstool after that one.

Flip side is Boston's golden lining in the cloud of playoff collapse
Instead of having a second pick at the end of the first round, they have it in the middle.
And Jacobs says to himself
“At least it went 7, so I got four more playoff revenue dates.”

and Burkie says to himself
If these bums finish last overall next year and Chiarelli gets to pick the Swedish kid, I am going to trade this whole team and start over.
and the crash continues
Now it will be no better than #29…and the Anaheim brass are in the awkward position of rooting for Chicago. Of course, SJ is #28 (and our pick from Ottawa stops sinking at #58). Montreal’s is #27. I know. Since the earliest Quebecois will be Michael Bournival in the late second round, maybe we can trade for #27. Jason Gregoire may be from Winnipeg, but he has a good French Canadian name and our boy Bruno would look SO MUCH better in a Habs uni than in the orange and blue, don’t you think? From what I have been reading, Gregoire has been turning into quite a decent prospect and LW is one area where the Hab system is weak, so it might not be entirely crazy. Maybe Garth slips something into Gainey’s beer over lunch…would sure drive what’s his name at Eyes crazy!!!

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
