Joey MacDonald Torturing Detroit Fans Now
I love this, it sums up MacDonald's ability on the NHL level in 15 seconds. Maybe the Wings should have brought in Danis

Oooo
where’d he learn that move? Makes you wonder what Detroit would have given us for Rollie had we waited?
"Gervais...he looks danger in the fist with his face!" JPinVA
Unfortunately they aren’t that bad off. Osgood has 4 weeks, Howard is at 5 or 6 weeks. They should be good enough to win despite Joey’s best attempts.
"My son, who is 6, just asked if he had to keep watching the Islanders. I said it’s the Islanders or bed. He chose bed." Mulligan
Contributor to Lighthouse Hockey not sure if I'm the Sniper or the Enforcer.
Pretty sure DP taught him that one.
“No, like this, come out of the crease, but don’t clear it, just swing at it, miss it by a little…then the other team will put it in the net….well, yes but, ….. don’t question me, I was an All Star, son.”
Was writing the other night while NHL On the Fly was on
They were in the rerun loop, and every 15-30 minutes I’d hear “Joey MacDonald ee-yi-ee-yi-oh!”
Lighthouse Hockey: And you shall know us by the fraying of our hips.
Funny...
I think you can actually hear his teammates yelling, “hard, hard, hard” and he just flubs it.
I watch hockey because I love the game...I watch the Islanders because I hate myself. ~JPinVA

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.

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.

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.
