UNIONDALE, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) – An unexpected first round sweep has Islanders fans pumped for a possible championship run.
“Who knew that these young men could put it together like this,” Maryann Crawford said.
The swift victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins has conjured up treasured memories from the team’s past.
The last time New York enjoyed such success was the early 80’s when the Islanders won four consecutive Stanley Cup titles – an almost unheard of feat.
“It’s been so long for them to really be a factor in the NHL,” one fan told CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan.
