That is great and maybe a lot of the old vintage hockey site collectors will now make their way here and this will
expand into a great place to talk and collect hockey.Thanks to everyone for making this happen.

Sounds great. I recommend starting a new thread, labeled “hockey want list” or something similar. Eventually, the entire front page of this section will be filled with nothing but hockey content.

Yes it will take a bit of time to not see the other sport content in this tread. But it is great to get started.

Went to many games here in Houston. So much fun.

This is exciting. I just joined this board a few days ago and now Hockey has our own section, and a number of guys from the old forum are here too!

Let's talk some Isles-Oilers 1981 quarter finals. And while we are at it, let's discuss 1984 Isles-Habs. Canadiens finish season with not even 80 points and have home ice? Isles drop first two at the Forum? I'm calling BS on the NHL and John Zeigler and the Canadian crew. Then, the finals that year are 2-3-2? Give me a BREAK. NHL wanted no part of Isles winning 5 straight.

Anyway, dad always says, if you are looking for the 5th Cup, it's in 78 or 79. By 84, the team was gassed and the Oilers were ready.

See y'all at Belmont!

Loved those Islander teams. we will NEVER see the likes of that Habs/Isles/Oilers run again...possibly not in any sport. Parity? who needs it.

Islander dynasty guy here also having grown up on LI. Still have blue and orange in my blood but being in MD for over 25 years have gravitated to the Caps. Makes for fun rivalries. Interesting fact there is one spelling error on the cup and that’s the 80-81 Islanders spelled Ilanders.

Hope I have figured the picture thing out!

EDIT: Seems I don't.
