GRATUITOUS ISLES/RANGERS VIDEO MONTAGE
Classic videos to get you pumped
I’ll be back with a normal, level-headed game preview later. For now, here are some old highlights to get you ready for the first of six visits we’ll take to the Thunderdome this season. We’ll go with three videos in a modified Gordie Howe hat trick format; a goal, a fight and a save.
A GOAL
1984 Playoffs – The Drive for Five
The two teams met in the first round of the 1984 playoffs. After splitting the first four games, the rivals met for a decisive Game 5 at the Coliseum. The Rangers would tie the game late in the third but it would be Ken Morrow for the Islanders victory in OT.
A FIGHT
Al Montoya vs. Rick DiPietro
Yeah… Can’t let this video slip buy us today. In 2007, the teams met in the pre-season and even though the game didn’t mean anything they kept it real. With a line brawl. And this is of course the last time they’ve played in the pre-season. THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS YOU GUYS. Got to love Chris King saying at the end of the video: “every Islander fan in the building holding their breath that Rick DiPietro would not be injured.”
A SAVE
Marian Gaborik’s penalty shot
Last October the teams met at the Coliseum in the Islanders’ second game of the season. The Rangers were debuting their shiny new toy in Marian Gaborik and halfway through the first he got pulled down on a break away. A penalty shot was awarded against The Rick. The Islanders would go on to win 6-4.

Kevin that is fantastic, thanks. I totally forgot about dp fighting Montoya. Watching that OT game and listening to the crowd gives me the chills. Let’s go Isles!

Jim Clark says: Does footage of the J P Parise OT goal exist?

Great stuff, though last October Gaborik wasn’t the Rags’ new toy anymore.

Nick M says:
Any word on who gets called up if anyone ( in regard to toughness)

Steve J says:
Nabakov in goal tonight per Islanders twitter.

Eric Cup says:
I don’t agree with starting Nabby tonight. Figured he’d get a start in one of the Florida games next week but I find this move to be curious.

Should have put up last years Haley vs. Avery.
I dont want to see my boy Al Montoya get dropped. -

Dadi says:
Sorry, but showing that DP vs. AL video is just – STUPID! Don’t like it at all!

Paul says:
They should have stuck with AM.

TimQ says:
Watching that Bourne rush against the Rags reminds me of the one where he went end to end and scored. It also reminds me of how good Grabner can become.
Why would you post that video when they are on the same team now, and Montoya is by far our number one goalie? Not cool at all.
