Grabner Tribute Video including every goal by him. Watching his Canucks highlights, it's hard to see how they traded him.

nice highlight video
its great reliving his goals, because almost all of them is an exciting breakout. Hopefully everything clicks from day one this year, because that would equal a crazy amount of goals.
Jeez
Not only are 90% of his goals absolutely thrilling, but when you watch old games from last season you are reminded how the guy gets chances just like these CONSTANTLY!
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)
It's amazing
a better team than us probably gives up on him again after his first 20 games or so when he was struggling just to get shots off, let alone score goals. Another benefit of fully committing to the rebuild.

One thing i noticed
Is that a whole lot of his goals are ones that either tied the game or put us up by one. maybe its just coincidence, or a result of him being the biggest goal scorer on a losing team, but he seems to have a knack for timely goals.

Especially when you consider they traded Grabs and a 1st rounder for Ballard. Why I will never know. Ballard “was” nothing more then an averagish middle pair d-man with some puckmoving abilities, but he’s getting paid like a top pair d-man(for another 4 years too). Stupid stupid trade from the get go by the Nucks, especially after Ballard’s play has fallen off the face of the earth.

Please take this video down
I noticed that one of the goals came in the 9-3 game against the Pens, which was a disgrace.

and look at how many of the goals he just made the goalie look plain stupid on…he’s scary good. so glad we locked him up for a few years
hmmmm, I've seen this video here before.

Sorry bout that
I knew I had seen it somewhere before. I’ve done that a few times.

I was just messing
You got more comments anyways. I watch this video quite often. As a Vikes fan he reminds me a lot of Adrian Peterson that when he’s on the ice, you are just waiting for him to blow your mind, and he does quite often. Really hard to believe two teams gave up on him.

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.
