Hockey Video Tributes & Montages for Dummies?
I like the hockey montages and tributes that fans put together. I have a vision of one going with a particular song I have in mind, and I can even see the kinds of clips Id want to use at certain parts of the song. The problem is, I have never made one myself- and I honestly do not know where to even begin. Now that I have a decent computer instead of the dinosaur desktop I was using previously, I am interested in learning more about what I would need to make something like this. What programs do people use for gathering, editing, and stringing together clips? Where do you even get the clips in the first place? Is there any advice anyone would like to give? Im interested in hearing from any of you that like to make this kind of stuff. And hey- if its too tough for me to do but you know how to do it, maybe I could give you a few new ideas lol.

here’s how I do it:
I get the clips from youtube, using the video downloader plugin for Firefox to download the videos.
I edit stuff together using AVS Video Editor, but you can always use Windows Movie Maker
Both AVS and Windows Movie Maker are basically drag and drop. They also have multiple input lines, so for example one will be just an audio line. So it’s just a matter of dropping the audio onto the right line.
If you need any help, feel free to email me, there’s multiple ways to contact me via instant messenger so it’s a bit easier to have a convo.

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.

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.
