MY 3 STARS
|
#27 - Mike Peca
Previously the captain of the Buffalo Sabres, Peca filled the same role well on
his first year with the Islanders. He is an excellent defensive forward who is
tough, honourable, and hard to keep down.
|
#35 - Chris Osgood
After winning 2 cups with Detroit, Osgood comes to the Islanders with a good
amount of playoff experience. He has a full stand-up style of play, and is an
aggressive challenger to shooters.
|
#20 - Steve Webb
Although not a significant points contributor, Steve Webb helps out by
providing massive checks to the other team's players. His slam-bang style of
hockey made the Islanders series against Toronto very fun to watch.

A Breif History
 Players
Coaching & Management
Often called "the other New York team" (the N.Y.
Rangers are an "Original Six" team), the Islanders were added to the
NHL in 1972-73 during the second wave of expansions. After a shaky start, the
club had a surprising winning streak in the early `80's. With players such
as Mike Bossy and Bryan Trottier, the Isles captured 4 cups from 1980 to 1983,
and were on their way to a fifth in 1984 when they lost to the Edmonton Oilers.
In addition to their cups, they have 6 Patrick Division
titles, as well as 2 Clarence Campbell and 3 Prince of Wales Conference titles.
