FIG Picks: Leafs @ Islanders, Jan. 24, 7 p.m.
Select the First Islanders Goal (FIG) for the game in this thread. If you're new to this, here are the instructions. Remember: 1) Picks must be in before puck drop. 2) You only get one pick (unless you learn your guy is scratched and change your pick before faceoff).
Season leaders are usually noted at the end of the last FIG thread.

Moulson (Tavares, Okposo) 6.66
The guy hasn’t scored in a few games…Hes due
Streit (Tavares, Okposo) 18:11
Unless you’ll read through for moronic palindromes, I made 17:71 more readable. If they make the playoffs and we’re still doing this, I can make 136:631 as my time, which would assume there would be four shut out overtimes for both teams.

A fan since '75 when Eddie Westfall gave me his KOHO stick after practice at Racquet & Rink in Farmingdale.
Niederreiter (Wallace, Pandolfo) 10:00
Several ways to interpret my selection: (1) an acknowledgement that Nino is due, (2) an attempt to let people catch up to me in the FIG standings, or (3) madness of Milbury-like proportions. We’ll find out by tonight.

Rolston getting quality minutes....Nino rotting on the 4th line. Thats why I love this team.

Okposo (Tavares, Hamonic) 8:25
JT starts a new streak that goes 18 games…
Grabner will bury one later in the 1st period..
The way this is going the Captain of the next Cup contending Islanders team is still in grade school......RESULTS DO MATTER..
ERROR!
I meant Grabner not Tavares! is it too late to change?

No it wasn't too late to change.
But unfortunately, it doesn’t really matter now. Sorry.

Parenteau (Tavares, Nielsen) PPG 9:54
I just cut-and-pasted yesterday’s. One of these days I will have to be right.
If the Isles lose, I think several players may not be invited back for the next game. (If they win, I hope they don’t invite a few back as well.)
Parenteau (Tavares, Steit) 18:33
Sorry… was going to pick Okposo but now I’m guessing that PAP goes back up on the 1st line… didn’t realize I had already clicked reply on the Okposo pick.

we need a quick start in this one
Wallace ( Silent Bob Pandolfo,) 5:15
Picking Wallace is like picking a shutout, isn’t it??

1979-80
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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.
1981-82

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
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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.
