On the youtube video at 2:30, Kevin McClelland is seen shaking hands with
the Islanders. 2 years later he would have his revenge when, as a member of
Edmonton Oilers, he would score the only goal in a 1-0 Edmonton victory in
game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals at Nassau Coliseum giving the Oilers a 1-0
lead in a series that they would go on to win, ending the Islanders dynasty.
I was at the game. He must die. :angrier:

Kevin played a big role in the Oilers first Cup, by contributing with a rare goal. The Oilers, who lit up their opponents in all their playoff rounds, were being shutdown in the 1984 Finals by their old nemesis - Billy Smith and the New York Islanders. McClelland took advantage of a rare Islanders mistake to score the opening goal of the Finals. It proved to be only goal of the game, and was a great confidence booster for the young and inexperience Oilers. Not only did they gain confidence by defeating the Isles after being swept by them in the previous year, but they played an "Islander style" game as opposed the high scoring Oilers game. Defeating the Islanders in this fashion was like lifting a huge weight from the Oilers shoulders. The Oilers of course went on to convincingly win the Cup, but it was McClelland's goal that got them started.
