It was on November 8th, 1971 that the Islanders were discovered in an effort to block the rival WHA from having a team in the Nassau Coliseum. Since then the Islanders went on the become the last American hockey dynasty and won 19 straight playoff series. The last 20+ years have been pretty rough but led by John Tavares better days seem to be on the horizon.
