I'd like to hear from posters who their all-time non-dynasty Islanders are. You can pick your favorites, or pick your all stars, or whatever, but pick two forward lines, two pair of defensemen, and two goalies. None of your picks should have won a ring with the Islanders.

For me:
C: Pat LaFontaine, Michael Peca (sorry, Cliff Ronning and Ray Ferraro)
LW: JP Parise, Billy Harris
RW: Ziggy Palffy, Pat Flatley

D: Bert Marshall, Dave Lewis, Adrian Aucoin, Darius Kasparitis

G: Kelly Hrudey, Rick DiPietro

C: Pierre Turgeon, Ray Ferraro
LW: Derek King, Steve Thomas
RW: Zigmund Palffy, Ed Westfall
D: Kenny Jonsson, Rich Pilon, Scott Lachance, Brendan Witt

G: Glenn Healy, Chris Osgood

THEY DONT MEAN ATHING
IF THEY DIDNT BRING US A RING

C Turgeon, Lafontaine
R Palffy, Westfall
L JP Parise, Wendell Clark--too bad we got him 10 years too late
D Kurvers, Kasper, Norton, Witt
G Fitzpatrick, Hrudey

THEY DONT MEAN ATHING
IF THEY DIDNT BRING US A RING

--not true, that 75 team put the isles on the map.

THE TITLE OF THE THREAD SAYS WHAT???

YOUR NON-DYNASTY ALL FAVORITES

1993 :isles:

1975 thru 1979 :isles: were not to shabby

I was always impressed with Doug Crossman in the 89-90 season. He provided the veteran leadership on that team, helping guys like Norton and Pilon develop into the players that they were in '93, was 3rd in scoring and helped us make the playoffs that year...albeit with a below .500 record.

Had to love that old divisional playoff system!

At center (no way I can limit it to two here):

Sneaky Pete
Huuubie!
Scatch
Lappy

On the port side:

Woody
Ben-wah Hogue!
Wendel Clark

Allier droit:

Bobby Bassen
Stumpy

On the backline:

Bergevin
Kaspar
Vlad
Aucoin
Witt

Backstop:

Hrudey
Salo!

Jesus Christ, I loved Wendel Clark
He was one tough sonavabitch and could put the puck in the net and Hit, Hit, Hit

such a shame he was on the muller team. always gets overshadowed for that...

Could add Hubie and Lapointe under center as well if we expand the rosters

:isles: Center Turgeon Lafontaine
RW Flatley Palffy
LW Thomas King
D Aucoin Jonsson Krupp Kasparitis
G DP, Hrudey

I loved Turgeon at center.

Other favorite forwards were Webb, Thomas and Hogue

defense....Jonsson and Vaske

goalie would have to be Hrudey

Hrudey, "He's on ya, he's on Ya"
That was a regular part of his game
As much as DP letting in that one easy goal per game. :thumbsup: :isles:

G: Hrudey, DP

D: Gerry Hart, Brendan Witt, Dave Lewis, Kenny Jonsson

C: LaFontaine, Westfall

RW- Ziggy, Parrish

LW- Billy Harris, JP Parise

I never understood the love of Flats. He would lose a race with a Zamboni he's so slow. He was always behind the rush. Was good in the corners, but only if he could get there in time. He had a great first 1/4 of a season and playoff for us in 84, but I felt he never lived up to the hype.

The Heal and Flats show :thumbsup:
:rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

I agree 100%. Never thought he was very good. You see what happens when you score on your very first shot in the NHL. You get a lifetime job and become captain.

Well, my mom liked him, and he was at Wisconsin when I was there.

In our household, I was for Trottier, my sister was for LaFontaine, and my mom was for Flatley. We'd tease her about how slow he was.

My father was for duck and cover when these discussions took place.

HMMMM MY HOUSEHOLD
LETS SEE

DAD WAS SMITH AND GILLIES
HE LOVED GUYS WHO COULD WALK THE WALK AND BACK UP THE TALK
MOM LOVED AL
SHE DIDNT HAVE TO SEE THE SCORE SHE'D WATCH HIM AND KNEW IF IT WAS A GOOD NIGHT OR A TOUGH NIGHT. THE MORE HE TUGGED AT HIS GLASSES THE MORE PISSED HE WAS GETTING.

MY MIDDLE SISTER LOVED BOBBY CLARKE AFTER THAT HAD NO USE FOR HOCKEY

MY YOUNGEST SISTER STARTED OUT LOVING STEVE VICKERS AND PHIL ESPOSITO
THEN SHE CAME OVER FROM THE DARK SIDE
FIRST SHE LIKED TONELLI AND LIKE ALL TEENS WENT GAGA OVER LAFONTAINE

ME I LIKE ANYONE IN OUR COLORS
SOME MORE THAN OTHERS
WHEN I GAVE BILLY MCMILLAN A RIDE ON MY BIKE FROM RTE 110 TO RACQUET AND RINK
AFTER HE SCORED A GOAL THE NIGHT BEFORE
AND AS WE ARRIVED TORREY WAS OUTSIDE
AND YELLS AT HIM "IF YOU HAVE A LIMO I'M PAYING YOU TOO MUCH"

WAS ALWAYS A CHICO FAN TILL HIS CHOKING STARTED TURNING ME OFF AND WHEN HE PULLED THE PLAY ME OR TRADE ME IT WAS ADIOS AFTER CUP 1
THEN BACKED THE MAN WITH THE BLACK STICK AND ALL THE BLING

:isles: Flats was o.k., but teamates seemed to rally around him. Hell Nystrom wasnt very good he made a living off of one goal.

Randy Wood, Stumpy, Pilon and LaPointe too. Played his heart out every game.

6 20 goal seasons for Nystrom and one 30 goal season (77) and one all star appearance (77). That is all far superior to Flats and more than a guy "living off one goal".

BTW- he scored twice in game 6.

Deep breaths, I4C...

In with the good air, out with the bad...

:yea:

:isles: I loved Nystrom to, fact is Flatley 510points 760 career games, Nystrom 900 Career games 513 points, Flatley was always hurt. Nystrom also played with more talented players.

Patrick Flatley. A good man.

Ugh. What an indignity that jersey was. It hits me everytime.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


hahahahhahah



fruitcake!!!!!!!!

sorry dont know anything about him...sorry

but that pic is ....well You know! :rofl:

MOOSE LIKE????

Centers: Pierre Turgeon, Claude LaPointe
Wingers: Ziggy, Gino Odjick, Benoit Hogue, Wendell Clark
Defense: Radek, Chara, Kenny Jonsson, Pilon
Goalies: Hrudy, Osgood

i did like Pat Flatley, but he had to go and sign with the rags to end his career on a whimper. i have the same problem with Ferraro, and Healy. LaFontaine a bit but he was traded tot he rags he did not choose to go there, although i dont think he had a problem with it

Wendell had 20+ (28?) goals for that horrid isles team by the time he was traded back to TO, despite missing at least 10 games to Injury, what a warrior he was.

yeah heels and flats, the two biggest sellouts ever!!!

Nystrom? one goal? the guy is like 5th on the all time playoff OT goals list :lol:
Bobby Ny is one of the most clutch players in NHL history!!!! he has more playoff OT game winners than Lemieux and Flatley :lol: andis tied with Gretzky!

do some research my friend :thumbsup:

Nystrom = :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup:

:isles: Research Flatley 760 Games 510 points, Nystrom 900 Games 513 Points, never said I didnt like Nystrom he was a good player but played with much more talented players then Flatley. Research how many ot goals did Nystrom have?

Scatchard, Kasparaitis, King, Vukota, Palffy

bobby Ny had 4 Playoff OT Goals

here is the list

Sakic-8
Rocket Richard -6
Glen Anderson -5
NYSTROM-4
gretzky- 4
s. richer-4
j.murphy-4
jagr-4
k.muller-4
roenick-4
c.drury-4
j.langenbrunner-4

Right on.

Nystrom scored MANY big goals…

OT game 4 vs. Rangers 1979
OT game 2 vs. Sabres 1980
OT game 6 vs. Flyers 1980-cup winning goal

…and played a key part in MANY big Islanders play-off goals along this career.
