(Aka your girl’s been going through it lol)
Top 5 Hockey Games I’ve watched
fair warning: I don’t have a stats brain and this will be isles heavy bc I only really started watching non-isles games this year lol
1. Islanders v. Penguins, Feb 17 23*
so technically I didn’t watch this game. My family and I were driving upstate and listening to it on the radio but it was insane. Isles comeback in the third and pretty much a full on bench brawl. It was incredibly hard to follow with the just the radio bc so many people got into that fight. My dad and I ended up rewatching the third period once we got where we going just to see it and the win.
2. Islanders v. Lightning, Game 4 Eastern Conference Finals, June 19
21
Tumblr media
Scraping game and a lead maintained in the last 15 seconds by the above save. My dad and I were screaming our heads off.
3. Islanders vs. Sabers, November 23, 2005
I was six at this game and it was the first game I went to after the lockout (players strike) that took up most of the previous “season.” My cousins and I made a big DiPietro sign but spelled his name wrong. It went to OT and we lost in a shootout but I remember it very fondly and I think my grandma still has the signs we made 😂.
4. Islanders vs Hurricanes, Stanley Cup Playoffs Round 1, April 21, 2023
Four minutes left in the third, score tied one and the Islanders don’t just come back, they come back roaring. Fastest four goals in playoff history. Two minutes and twenty seconds to win 5-1. Nuts
5. USA v. USSR, Olympic Medal Round 1, February 22 1980
This is only game on this list that a) I didn’t watch live and b) is not an NHL game, however, as an American hockey lover no list of top hockey games can be complete without the Miracle on Ice when the American team of college players beat the 4 time defending gold medal Soviet team during the height of the Cold War and two days (and one game against the Finns) later the American team took Gold.
Ask me for my top 5s
