The Islanders have advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 1993. (It was still the Wales Conference Finals) Just to bring everyone up to speed what was happening that year, Cheers was about to finish its 11th and final season on NBC, Snow’s Informer was on the charts, Charles Smith was missing shot after shot for the New York Knicks in Game Five of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals against the Chicago Bulls and your truly was getting ready for his senior prom.
Ironically the 1992-93 season was the first for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who finished with 53 points in their inaugural season.
