Who says that man can't shoot?
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
Saw it and thought two things:
1.) Looks like I’ll be spending the next three minutes of my life watching hockey
2.) Looks like I’ll be spending the following thirty minutes of my life figuring out how to FanShot this…apologies for the dead link!
Really is pretty sweet
The “birth of the backhand” clip brought a tear to the ol’ eye. Oh, innocent days, those.
Sometimes the video embeds with the FanShot can be tricky. Tabs at the top should help you figure which one to use. Also, I think you should be able to edit your FanShots after you’ve posted them.
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
The sequel
Should be a montage of Frans’ backhand shootout goals set to Another One Bites the Dust.
Or Princes of the Universe.
Or One Vision.
Or Stone Cold Crazy.
Or Dragon Attack.
"He's depriving some small village of a pretty good idiot" - Mike Milbury on Ziggy Palffy's agent Paul Kraus.
brilliant
Other guys would have their highlights to Waiting for the Hammer to Fall or something… Frans gets “You’re My Best Friend.” Absolutely fitting.
We may be in the box, but you get the penalty.

I fully expected to see a blank ice becaues the camera couldn't keep up with the play
Or else this.
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
Generally I don't like Queen, but Queen + Frans = Win.
Further proof that: (anything) + Frans = Win. In ze Rhineland ve call him Fransy Automatik.
the song choice makes me think Dom picked it.

NHL '11
You could take a montage of the backhand of judgement and replace it with me going on breakaways in NHL ‘11. That’s the only move I have and it seems to work as frequently as Frans does in real life.
This was awesome.
I enjoyed this very much.
Now, kids, being eaten by a crocodile is just like going to sleep; in giant blender.

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.
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.
