It was Bill Torrey appreciation night at the Nassau Coliseum. New York Islanders fans and alumni gathered to thank the man that helped put the Isles on the sporting map.
A man who created the greatest dynasty in hockey with four back-to-back Stanley Cups and 19 straight playoff series victories. The first of those cups coming against the Philadelphia Flyers.
Tonight, the Islanders would take on the Flyers who come into the game on a hot streak. The Flyers are now just a few points out of a playoff spot, something that didn’t seem possible just a few months ago.
