PrintThe Setup
Using the rosters as picked by Mark and Keith in this post, I created 2 teams in Strat-o-matic Hockey 2011, using the cards produced from last year’s data, the latest data available.For those of you not familiar with Strat, players are rated for exact positions (LW or RW vs. just W; LD or RD vs. just D), but many players are rated for multiple positions based on what they played the previous season.
They also get a GP rating based on the number of games played, but that is editable. I edited all 21 players to be available 100% of the time. I also turned of injuries. Goalie fatigue was left on.
I decided to run an 82 game season, with each team playing at ‘home’ 41 times. The games were on consecutive days to force some semblance of a goalie rotation. I used standard NHL rules with a 4-on-4 5 minute OT followed by a shootout in case of ties.
The starting lines:

This is awesome
and Dam Lundqvist is a beast.
It looks like the games I win are all tight, and Keith tends to blow me out when he wins. Also Keith’s really screwed considering it’s last years Brian Elliot and not this years. But dam, I’m shocked Carey Price is doing really bad.
Thanks Torgo!

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.
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

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.
