It's so weird to hear Sam Rosen enthusiastic calling Islanders goals.

Didn't realize that ESPN had hockey this early

1982 - imho the greatest Islander team of all time

[@IslesICENET]

@@timburr4453 well also it’s a fact- most RS pts and wins in team history.

The only reason this game was broadcast on ESPN Classic was because it originally aired on ESPN. Nothing particularly significant about this game otherwise.

I feel very uncomfortable when Sam Rosen calls this Islanders game. He was the enemy back in the 80s. Those Rangers gave the Islanders a battle in the playoffs. They were our toughest opponents while winning the cups (Except in 1980-81). He was 100% RANGERS. If you were an Islander fan back in the 70s and 80s you'll understand., but I will say he is a great announcer. Thanks for the upload.

LOL, pretty sure I was at this game in HS! RP bus trip!

James Brock I think I remember this game. Before I watch I’ll say the outcome was 5-1 Islanders. If I’m correct my memory hasn’t completely left. Lol
