A record the New York Islanders held for 40 years is about to be broken tomorrow. The Islanders were the last major North American franchise to make it to their sport’s respective championship five years in a row.
That record is about to be broken with the Golden State Warriors making it to the championship again this year. Sitting here 35 years removed from the Islanders last trip to the Stanley Cup it feels weird to mention the Islanders and Warriors in the same breath.
In this 2019 sports world the Warriors, like the Patriots, are the golden boy of the sports world.
