- Reposting this and hoping that the copyright issue with the song is resolved. Had to cut out a short music video comprised of Oilers scoring against the Black hawks. rest of the video is intact. 1983 Stanley cup playoff film, Islanders fourth cup win in a row.
Of all 4 Stanley cups that they won, this had to be the most satisfying for the Islanders
and they went to the finals in a fifth might never happen again in a 30 team league
As an Islander fan I can tell you it was. The first one was up there too but the fourth was great because the sometimes obnoxious Canadian hockey press had already anointed the Oilers as 1983 Stanley Cup champs. The old pros taught the Oilers a lesson that year. Of course, talent will out, the Oilers were too good to be denied forever and took out the Islanders in 1984 to launch their own dynasty.
@@VandelayIndustries61 I don't care anything about these "Edmonton dynasty" idiots. The Islanders won 19 straight playoff series, something that will likely never be done again. The Oilers only won 8 consecutive series and then lost to a Calgary team in 1986 that had finished 26 pts behind them LOL
I was a kid during the dynasty era(8 to 11 for the 4 cups). As time marches on and we get further away it becomes apparent that what I witnessed was arguably the greatest sports team ever, let alone hockey.
So true from the coach on down they were the most complete team in sports history
The 4 cup montreal team that preceded them was pretty damn good too.
James Bellflower no one is saying they weren’t, but the 19 straight playoff series wins is a sports record let alone an NHL record and one that will never be broken, do you know how significant that is?!? It means the Isles accomplished more than any other dynasty did. They had to play more games to win the same amount of cups as the 70’s Habs. The Habs team of the 50’s that won 5 in a row on had to play 2 series of a best of 5, if the Isles had had that format that would equal 10 straight cups.
The Isles IS the greatest of all time, these things are determined by statistics and the Isles accomplished more than anyone else ever has then or since.
@@ziggymorris8760 I'm not arguing that. I think montreal was overall more talented but the islanders were just a machine. But I do think those 2 teams are the top to bottom best dynasty's of all time. Sorry edmonton.
Islanders now have their best GM coach combination since Torry and Arbour in Lamorello and Trotz. If they don't lose too many players now that Tampa is losing some of its stars the Islanders may be ready to get the cup. If they win game 7 against Tampa I think they beat Montreal and the cup comes back to Long Island. But what are they going to do now with the Coliseum now that the New super nice new building will be open in Elmont for the 2021-22 season? They spent money to refurbish the close to at least use for concerts and maybe a minor league team but the concerts probably will go to the new barn too and they don't have S minor league team. It would be a shame after the money they spent on the coliseum to just have to demolish it. It was great that the Islanders win their final game there. It's just too bad they weren't in the Finals.
In the final seconds Ken Morrow blocked a shot in the slot, then pounded Messier behind the net then moved in front covering the net only to find a loose puck which he buried into the Oilers open net to seal the Cup victory. Amazing. That's what separated the Islanders from other teams in the 80s, including the "great" Oilers.
And remember, Morrow was on the ice to end the U.S. win over the Red Army in 1980
interesting how the NHL very "conveniently" changed the playoff format in 1984 so that the Oilers got 3 straight home games in the final?? and then mysteriously changed it back to a 2-2-1-1-1 format just 2 years later????
there's always been an nhl hatred toward the island, even to this day!
They also tweaked the playoff format so that the Canadiens,who finished 30 points in back of the Islanders during the regular season,wound up with the home ice advantage for semi-finals. The fact that Messier got away with the two elbows in game one of the finals in ‘83 gave everyone a view of the future with their golden boys from Edmonton.
it benefitted the Habs in 1986 too.
Folks, that Islander team can do it all. Play any style you want, you'll still lose; That year the Oilers were the big thing, waiting to be crowned. It was barely a contest.
19 straight series wins and NEVER faced a game 7. Remarkable!
Those Bruins/Oilers teams they faced the last 2 rounds were no joke. Great rosters, quality lineup- yet Edmonton went 8-2 against them.
oliers have a record of NOT seeing a visiting team skate the stanley cup at home
bruins great team that year. problem was even though petters won vezina he was awful whenever pressure was on. that series against isles go back and watch he was beaten before isles even took shot especially bossy his body language showed it very mentally weak goalie unlike billy smith
so do the islanders
dave- they were pushed to deciding games 2x in the 19, though - they were both the 5th game of 5 game series', so if we're being fair - otherwise, of course, yes - they had the complete package.
damn they were unstoppable and those Bruin Oilers teams were pretty darn good and 99 no goals in final, amazing
I remember watching this film on ESPN. When the N.Y. Islanders visited Buffalo on December 29, 1985 ESPN experienced technical difficulties where they lost the signal to the game. If I remember right, the technical difficulties occurred early in the third period. The network aired this film while they tried to repair the lost signal. ESPN never did end up returning to the game, which Buffalo won 4-3.
remember that as well 1987
remember that as well when it was on ESPN Classic.
The one that was edited out was the McFadden & Whitehead "Ain't No Stopping Us Now" piece of Game 2, Blackhawks-Oilers. That aired on ESPN Classic when had the 1983 Stanley Cup Highlight film.
Vintage NHL so much better than Today’s NHL
Blame Gary Bettman
@@Durahan82 WHY do people here bash today's NHL so much?? Do you want the league to go back to being played in old, dimly-lit arenas with NO new technology or NONE of the new features of today?? Because the league was supposed to stay as as old, stuffy, run-down league instead??
19 Consecutive playoff series victories will never be matched or beaten.
The Tampa Bay Lightning got 11 consecutive series wins and they were gassed.
In the 1980s, NHL teams had NO personal chefs, NO sports psychologists, NO high end technology, NO luxury travel options, etc, etc.
Real Warriors. Legendary Champions.
LGI!
What, does high-end technology suck & we should just go back to doing everything the old way then??
Hahahahaha Billy lol I'll never ever forget it, I was 14 wow time fricken flies
The last of 4 in a row, the team the Islanders beat in the Stanley Cup Final would win 5 in the next 7 years
Islanders greatest dynasty in the NHL history.
and they would have won 5 cups in a row if the stupid NHL hadn't changed the playoff format in 1984 to 2-3-2 from 2-2-1-1-1--Dennis Potvin has said the Islanders were stuck in Edmonton for 8 straight days in the 1984 playoffs and had to endure stupid Edmonton Oiler fans honking their horns all night long outside their hotel
The Montréal Canadiens of the 50's were the greatest. They won five Stanley Cups.
david graham yup
Sylvain Guillemettte the Islanders had to win 4 rounds best of 3 and 7 to win their cups. The Canadiens only had to win two rounds best of 5 and usually got a first round bye because of winning the regular season points total. So no, the Islanders had to accomplish 3 times more than the Canadiens did and it is the very reason 19 straight playoff wins will NEVER be broken in sports let alone the NHL.
@@ziggymorris8760 Well you've got a point but we can only speculate because the Canadians of the 50's didn't have to play as many games, In the end, i think five Stanley cups in a row will never be equal , let alone beaten in modern NHL future.
10:55 so much for the "curse of the conference trophy" myth...
AND the "Islanders playoff beard".
that's a good one. Nice recap of these great battles
Can we all just take a moment to appreciate how awesome billy Smith equipment and pads were for 1983 lol
I may be wrong but I remember him being the first with colored pads.
@@anthonyriche552 he was he started wearing them in 1976. when i met him i actually asked him why he stopped wearing the blue orange pads towards end of his career and wore black pads that didnt match isles colors he said koho paid him a lot of money to wear their black pads .
@@bb-gc2tx How cool that you got to meet him and I'm glad you asked him about the pads because I wondered why he switched. They were hideous. His first set of colored pads was hideous as well. The mostly orange ones with blue then he switched to mostly blue with orange for the cup runs. Also, I might be wrong but Billy might have also been the first NHL goalie with the birdcage helmet. The one that Vladislav Tretiak use to wear and Chris Osgood made famous, lol. He was really a trailblazer in so many ways. Remember he was the first goalie to score a goal. Smitty was the best!
@@anthonyriche552 funny thing about asking him about the black pads he looked at me like i had 5 heads like how do you remember that. thing you have know about smitty hes not sentimental at all he still says to this day he never watches old footage of himself. lol you are right his equipment went to hell after the last cup finals. he went from having the best equipment to the worst. he would be wearing black pads with a black blocker and a blue and orange glove or a brown blocker and a blue glove it looked terrible. the best equipment he had was in 1983 the blue orange pads blue blocker and a blue ccm glove that ive been looking for forever cant find one anywhere
“The net is yawning.” The commentary is classic.
"You had a feeling that the NHL record book was about to be confirmed as Gretzky's biography.'
he was actually 2-3 years late on that comment already.
The islanders team won 19 rounds in the play offs still an nhl record and No professional sports team has come close to that yeah the dynasty team the islanders had in the early 80s they where a family al arbour. A legendary coach and bill torrey. The guy that put it all togeather. And Nassau coliseum the building we called home for so meny years. And mike bossy 50 goals or more for nine consecutive years in a row For 573. Goals in a ten year career I would argue that mike bossy in his time was the greatest goal scorer I think we had a very special run in the 1980s and winning four Stanley cups in a row lets hope the new build will have its own special feel to it the UbS ARENA HAVEING BARRY TROTTS COACHING AND LOU LAMORIELLO BEING IN CHARGE WE ARE WITNESSING SOMETHING SPECIAL
1:21 where were the Winnipeg defensemen? I've had airport delays that were shorter than it took the Jets to get back into the play.
Love the porno music lol
As someone who was 11 in '83 and living 10 minutes from the Coliseum I can tell you it was Islandermania those 4 years.
Still have glasses sold at Burger King and Friendly's with the faces of Denny and the boys that I collected.
So true it was all islanders on the island. I actually had lunch majors steak house other day. It use to be called Doctor generosity bar back in day. It was where dynasty team would party. If those walks could talk lol. Serious offer. If you want sell those glasses let me know I'm huge collector vintage isles stuff
Boston had a Great team in 1983 they were just as Good as the 1983 Oilers
b40 b40 good ole doctor generosity! There is a clip from that bar in ‘82 where everyone is watching the finals. I can’t find it but it was somewhere on RUclips.
Chris Ruth they had a good team, not great. You can’t win the cup without great goaltending and Peters was nowhere near as good as Smith, Fuhr or Moog.
Do you remember free chili at Wendy's if the isles scored five goals?
I'm a Ranger fan, but I have no problem stating that the Islander dynasty from 1980-83 may have been the best ever. They had to win four rounds each year. When you consider they made the finals in 84, that's 19 consecutive playoff series wins. That will NEVER be touched. When analyzing the Habs from 76-79, I can say that maybe they were a bit better, but they got a bye in each of those years since they finished first, and therefore ONLY won 13 consecutive playoff series (counting round 1 in 1980). There's a very good chance that having an extra round from 76-76 wouldn't have done anything to deter Montreal from winning four in a row anyway. Yeah, the Habs were a bit better.
The 1980-3 Islanders were more of a complete teams than the Canadiens from 1976-1979, they had no weakness at all, however the Canadiens had more stars players. 2 great dynasties.
Shindler39 That's a pretty fair assessment.
+mrceebees14 It's pointless handing out compliments on the great Islanders teams to an idiot Ranger hater like you.
I was an Islander fan, but I disagree with that. Where were the Canadiens' weaknesses? Each team does what it does, but the Habs barely lost any preseason games much less anything else. In 77' they won 72 games and lost only 10 (no OT during the 78 game regular season, so they tied 10, I believe). That's 72-10-10 over 8 months on their way to the Cup. Additionally, I don't think they lost their preseason games that year, although I'd have to verify that - suffice it to say that they made the rest of the NHL look like they were in juniors.
I love the Islanders, but no way in hell - sorry. I remember the dynasty Islanders getting bored in their best seasons. Articles in Newsday were written about that and the irrelevance of the regular season, as the Isles were winning first overall (called Regular Season Champions, then - no pres. trophy).
There was no letdown with the Montreal teams. They devastated everyone, every time.
Not to belabor this, but if Lemaire hadn't gone to Switzerland, Dryden hadn't decided to go back to law school/into politics, and Bowman not have left for Buffalo, the Habs would have taken it again in 80'. No doubt in my mind.
dude get help. so angry lol you say im trolling. you wrote to me what the fuck you talking about over a reply I wrote to someone trying answer their question lmao you are a fucking loser get help.
Tha last 4 cups Dynasty .
Memo to overly superstitious captains like Dustin Brown, Jonathan Toews and Zdeno Charra: Notice Denis Potvin HOISTED the Prince of Wales Trophy at 10:59. Didn't seem to affect the Islanders negatively, now did it?
+David Steinle I've never understood that superstition at all. I almost consider it a lack of respect to not hoist it.
+Daniel Zanier I think the Presidents' Trophy may have something to do with the superstition of players refusing to hoist any trophy prior to the Stanley Cup. Only eight Presidents' Trophy winners have gone on to win the Stanley Cup since the Presidents' Trophy was introduced in 1986.
Amazing Bob Cole's announcing was just as bad then as it is now
What's the title of the song at 4:43?
GOD OLD DAYS
You don’t see too many cowboy hats on Long Island.
I have to say that it is weird to think that a team from Edmonton was in one of the four major sports leagues in North America back then. I mean, who outside of western Canada knew where Edmonton even was at the time? I don't mean any disrespect to the city of Edmonton. It is a good city. And obviously they had a great dynasty in the NHL. But the NHL wanted to increase US TV contracts. I wonder if many people in the U.S. had even heard of Edmonton before. Same with Winnipeg and Calgary.
You have to understand that Canada is where the hockey fan bases are and where the competition with the other major sports is simply not there as it is across the U.S.
Would it really kill American viewers to learn some Canadian geography......and where so many of the players came from?
Winnipeg and Calgary? Ah yes; the cities which offer refuge for NHL teams that weren't viable in Atlanta.
FischerFan Yeah doofus, hockey fans in America don’t know where Canada is.
@@JimmyFranceable Who's the doofus here? I clearly referred to CITIES in Canada; not the country itself.
@@FischerFan problem now is that the mindless lockdowns in Canada TWO years into the pandemic could force hockey out of Canada for good, since no fans are allowed to see games in Canadian buildings for the THIRD year in a row. Gary Bettman will move all the Canadian teams to US cities if fans are not allowed to watch games IN THE ARENAs.
and now in 2022, the NHL does not want teams in cities where NO fans are allowed to watch in the hockey arenas because of dumbass lockdowns. It appears that now EVERY winter for the next few decades, there will be 1 to 2 months of lockdowns by the China-like government in Ontario, Quebec and BC. Gary Bettman will not tolerate this much longer. The only 2 remaining Canadian teams will be Calgary and Edmonton, because they are in Alberta which has a government which is not as harsh on its citizens and will not lockdown entertainment venues, unlike communist Ontario and Quebec.
I wish I knew that the names of the songs in this video are, they're awesome!
its by network name of song is equalizer playing street hockey as kid we would play tape my friend taped off tv lol

I answered persons question. the highlight songs were done by a music company called network name of two of the songs on this video are equalizer and rpm. what the fuck is so hard to understand. by the way your comment about habs being able take isles in 1980 is absurd. isles greatest team ever some fan you are
