Pilon was awsome. A one-man wrecking crew on the Islanders defense. Ken Belanger was a punk though.

This Flyers team was good enough to win the Cup in 1997. They needed a few big saves against Detroit that they didn't get. Vernon stepped up while Hextall and Snow shrunk under pressure.

For 20 years I believed the same until I had my spiritual awakening and realized it’s all rigged! Ain’t no way I’m going to believe Lindros, LecLair and Renberg couldn’t win them at least 2 games!!! Cmon man a prime Lindros swept 🧹? Nope I’m no longer a sucker! Bettman and his masters know how to steal money from the naive hockey loving masses! Red Wings ain’t win squat in 43 years so they knew it was about time to get them out of mediocrity so they don’t lose too many fans and seats 💺

@@QueensNewYorkguy I felt "the same way" in 1993. The league was trying to grow in America. A Toronto - Montreal final wouldn't have done shit for that plan. Surprise surprise, Wayne Gretzky and the LA Kings (with the help of Kerry Fraser) eliminate the Leafs and head to the finals.........

As much as the Islanders and their Jerzee’s sucked back then(😂), they never got pushed around when Pilon was there! Definitely the alpha of those Islander teams if he welcomed multiple fights with Lindros and shut down Lemieux and Jagr in ‘93 and beat the Stanley Cup Champ Penguins in 7! (Mick Vukota baby lol) That was for my Islanders peeps in Long Island 😉

Islanders have to be recognized for making one of the worst trades/moves in hockey history letting Todd Bertuzzi go to Vancouver smh what a bonehead decision! They should’ve gave him more time to develop! The same Bertuzzi you saw throw big Joel Otto like a rag doll to the ice! The same Joel Otto that beat up Lindros with other Flyers teammates in the Flyers locker room for sleeping with Rod Brind’Amours wife! (Scumbag Eric 😂) You just don’t let that massive amount of strength, skill and generational talent go! Imagine they had Bertuzzi in the early 2000s playoffs boasting the 50 goal scoring, strongest, best power forward in the league smh! A huge L!

The Islanders could have really used Bertuzzi in that 2002 series against Toronto. That was a war.

@@brianshaughnessy4020 exactly! I remember that series like it was yesterday! Darcy Tucker was imposing his will on the Islanders and would not be able to do that with a Todd Bertuzzi there
