you must have seen the flyers play also.
i started following hockey in the early 80's when the mighty islanders made their run of 4 in a row, almost 5. i've followed the devils too, especially after martin brodeur arrived.
i was at both caps-islander games when the islanders took the caps out of the playoffs in washington 2 years in a row. one of those was the 4 1/2 OT game. billy smith in goal crushed the caps both years.
since the strike and the new tv contract i rarely watch or follow.

The year was 1987, but Billy Smith was not in the nets in that game. I'm kind of surprised Scav hadn't already corrected this trivial mistake.
