Every Easter my Dad always tells the story of the New York Islanders Easter Epic. I wasn’t alive for the game but I certainly understand the severity of it in not only Islander history but in NHL history as well.
Game 7 hockey games might be the most stressful and intense things on this planet. To me, there’s no better event in sports than a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and this game certainly lived up to that.
To put this game in perspective the Isles were down 3-1 in the series against the second place Washington Capitals.
