frank, How the hell do you grow up on LI and not be an Islanders fan? I know they came in the early 70's but i figured you would be a fan of their's. The Bossy, Potvin & Trottier days were BIG there in the late 70's, early 80's!

I hated the Islanders. I was a Ranger fan before the Islanders were a franchise. I remember my Uncle coming to my house asking my dad and I if we wanted to buy Islander season tickets.

I kicked him out of my house. LOL

LI in the 70s and 80s were great when it came to hockey. It was evenly split between the two teams. Each fan HATING the other team.

frank, I was just giving you guys chit...every thread I was in last night, you 2 guys were chatting it up...I agree, hockey is great in person & sucks on TV...I was at Stars game Tuesday night...nice but weird to see it again.

I know you were messing with us. LOL

I think because we were the only 2 degenerates on BC. LOL

I was in bed watching hockey. I changed to ESPN to catch the controversy. I had to jump on BC to see what everyone thought about call in the Chisox game.

The Rangers & Islanders used to play some of the nastiest games i've ever seen in hockey. Lots of fights and usually blood somewhere. It was brutal!

Those 2 teams HATED each other. They met many years in the playoffs with the Islanders always winning. Those playoff series were brutal.
