Montreal’s 10 straight playoff OT wins in 1993 is an untouchable record.

I kind of wish a modern winning team would take one of those old style cup photos with everyone sitting orderly with a mild smile. Would be hilarious!

For all its faults the parity in the NHL has been pretty good since expansion

the wins and records set by the Islanders in the 80s is still mind-boggling

That must have been an enormous amount of work ... well done... great walk down memory lane. 👍 Oilers only losing 2 games is the most impressive to me. Played some tough teams along the way.

I don't know how Shannon maintains composure and even finds spare charisma to crack jokes throughout in these much longer takes, it's just one of the many reasons why this is one of the top hockey-themed channels on YouTube. Another excellent video!

11 cups by the original 6 in the last 4 decades. That's over 25%. (Let's not mention the one original 6 team that isn't on the board)

If Tampa wins this year, this is the most impressive run for them in my opinion because they would beat 4th ranked Toronto, 1st ranked Florida, 8th ranked New York, and 2nd ranked Colorado in the Finals. The average standing would be 3.75 which would tie for the lowest with the 1994-95 Devils.

4:03 this 2023 president trophy boston being out to florida in round 1 premonition in 2022 is wild lol

While Edmonton won 5 cups and the Islanders only 4, what makes the Islanders more impressive isn't only 4 in a row, but that when they were really up against it, when the dynasty was on the line, they came through. In the same situation, Edmonton didn't. What I'm talking about: 1982 playoffs, game 5 opening round, Islanders down 2 goals, 5 minutes from elimination. They score two to tie, win in OT, continue on win cup & dynasty continues; Edmonton, the Steve Smith game, down only one, early in the third period, don't come through, lose game, no 3rd straight cup. That's what makes the Islanders run extra special.

You are the John Madden of the NHL the highest compliment I can give you ....I enjoy all your videos 😊😊

I don’t know why people would fast forward through these videos. Great detailed history to relive.

1983 the Islanders had just won their fourth cup in a row and Wayne Gretzky(according to him) went to the Isles locker room because he wanted to see how they celebrated. Wayne said that there was very little celebrating going on because the Islanders were so exhausted....He said that when he was in a cab later on he knew the Oilers would win the cup the next year...True story!

The 80's was a battle between 4 teams - NY Islanders the firsta half of the decade and the second was between Edmonton Oilers,  Montreal Canadiens and Calgary Flames.
These team was near "unbeatble" and was always the teams who fought for the cup all the way and often in close combats.

The 90's started with the Pittsburgh Penguins dominans and a franchise that would be a serious contender all the way to 2001. Montreal have a final cup year but was overall never again that contender of the past. The Rangers finaly got there cup after 50 years of waiting after having been up and down a contender to mediocre for years. The rise of the Devils came and upsetting win there first cup and from that up till 2012 was a tuff contender. And then finaly the infamous cup rivalry between the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings, a rivalry that would continue all up to about 2002.

I love your dedication to your craft.   This is some detailed research.

As a new hockey fan this feels like information overload and I'm all about it.

The Hockey  guy  channel , ITS BECOMING LEGENDARY.

The 1980 Islanders did not beat Atlanta in round one. They beat the Los Angeles Kings.

18 different teams in 41 years, and it will be 18 in 42 years regardless of who wins

I was so happy Calgary winning the cup in 1989, those  were magical times, cheering also for the phoenix suns with Charles Barkley those days, as a dutchman hard to share that with anybody.
