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!

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.
