Founded in 1972 as part of an effort to thwart a rival league, the New York Islanders have had one of the most perplexing histories in all of professional Sports. Winning four straight Stanley Cups from the 1979-80 season through 1982-83, the Islanders are one of the only recognized dynasties in the league’s history. Since the last Cup win, the Islanders haven’t reached the Conference Finals. But entering 2013-14, it’s a whole new outlook for the New York Islanders… Star Power in Uniondale After missing the playoffs for six consecutive seasons, the Islanders battled back to contention in 2012-13. With exceptional young talent in the organization including breakout star John Tavares (the #1 overall pick in 2009), the Islanders are on the rise once again. Populated by young stars like Sidney Crosby, Patrick Kane, Jonathan Toews and the Islanders’ John Tavares, the NHL is in excellent hands moving forward. After an 81-point campaign in 2011-12, Tavares put the Islanders on his back last season, averaging nearly a point per game in the strike shortened year. Among the preseason favorites for the MVP, the young superstar is surrounded with some of the most promising young talent in the league including Matt Moulson, Travis Harmonic and Kyle Okposo.
