Islanders & NHL News: Happy Cup-iversary; outdoor game; Stars, Penguins meltdowns

Hello, sorry for the late post today — our editorial team was hungover had our wires crossed.

It’s May 24, the anniversary of the New York Islanders’ first of four consecutive Stanley Cups that began one lovely afternoon in 1980. Cheers to those who celebrate. (You better celebrate.)

Eric Hornick has lots of the key facts and film to relive that moment.

Picture: A time when this was on SNL (with applause), Bill Murray delivering an “if necessary” dad joke. (Also picture: You watching SNL.)

Meanwhile, in the present time.
