 Apri. 24, 2002: Shawn Bates #17 of the New York Islanders celebrates his winning goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs during game four of the Stanley Cup playoffs at the Nassau Coliseum in Hempstead, New York. The Islanders won 4-3. Maybe the best moment for the Islanders in the new millimeumn   Shawn Bates The Master  -------------------- FREE DP

its sad, but this moment will forever be the Islander signature. dynasty years???who remembers that? thats ice ages ago, sort of like 1940 chants...
yep, the rangers will be winning their second cup since 1994..and the Islanders can always masterbates. seriously, starting to wonder the only way this team has any form of respectability is if they do move off the island..it will be sad..but atleast we won't be laughingstocks anymore. -------------------- Today Is A Great Day To Be An Islander Fan!

I feel bad for the young fans. This is their biggest moment. I got to witness four Cups, a magical run in 1975.

You know what's really sad. Those young guys who's best moment in Isles history is that lonely penalty shot will now say "Geez, even that's been 10 years". --------------------  5/24/1980=Greatest Day in NY Islanders history. 10/24/2012=Darkest Day in NY Islanders history "They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety."-Ben Franklin "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government."-Thomas Jefferson |

Shawn Bates scoring a penalty shot goal to win a game in a series we wound up losing.
The same series where Kenny Jonsson players some of his best and most memorable hockey. A series that isn't even in the top ten of this franchises history but somehow, this current regime and culture has used it as something more relevant than it should be. I feel bad for the fans who weren't born to remember the battles with Buffalo, Boston, Montreal and the Rags. 18's memorable goal in clinching game and Chico's heroics to come back from being down 3 games to none against the Penguins. My god there are so many GREAT moments in our history. For almost 2 decades we made history in the NHL. We've been history for the last 2. --------------------    Showing zero tolerance for koolaiders and SnoWang apologists since 2007. This lifelong Islanders fan is sick and tired of pointing out the obvious to the oblivious. I long for the day when I can show up to Charles Wang's wake with a shovel and patiently wait for everyone to pay their respects so I can pay mine by burying the bastid. |

Depot I totally agree. While the Bates penalty shot goal is memorable............I wouldn't put it on the top ten list of most memorable Isles moments. |
