      In the '75 playoffs, the Isles came within one game of pulling reverse sweeps in back to back series. They also went down 3-0 in the series after the Penguins to the Flyers, forced a game 7 only to lose when the desperate Broad Street Bullies pulled the Kate Smith trick out of a hat to win the finale 4-1.

    Habs - Nords is the top tier rivalry. The newspapers didn't even bother with the sports sections, there were 8 pages on the series from page 1 on.

      @patrickhamos2987 Not even 1990s quality then, right. How about the original six? Take 26 teams away this season, think how stacked the remaining teams would be. No glaring weaknesses on any team. There were no back up goalies so only 6 NHL goalies were good enough to keep their job. Would be super tough to watch that again.

    I was a teenager when the Isles were formed. You are correct in how they struggled, then seemed to appear from nowhere to dominate with a dynasty generated by a frog in Potvin. What a team to face in a do or die situation. My Bruins had it rough against them. Anyway, I played on a team in town that was the second oldest of four in all. I remember after winning our first division championship the fourth team in town being formed, and thinking "are our feats of skill not enough to satisfy the fans?". At the time not understanding the baby boom but I digress. After winning 3 division championships, one league and 3 town championships I know both the feeling of being the upstarts (2nd in town) and wanting to exert dominance from other comers. All props to both sides for their loyalty

    Isles/nyr is a good rivalry but not like it used to be thanks to bettman. Too many changes to the playoff format and no playoff meetings since '94. The last six meetings saw the winner go to the finals and four times win the cup. Not the same since isle dynasty died. isles/nyr only played 3 times two seasons ago and was over a year between games. Flames/oil is a heated rivalry who last met in playoffs in '22. Habs/nords was the fiercest rivalry of all. Bettman extinguished that rivalry in '95. Also killed whale/b's as well to put whale in fkn nc. whale/nords were sacrificed for 'cost certainty' and cap thanks to bettman.

    • @henrymanzano2201
      @henrymanzano2201 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      It's also that Bettman is too busy marketing other rivalries,like Penguins-Flyers,Penguins-Capitals or Blackhawks-Blues. According to him, these are the only rivalries that have ever existed in the history of the NHL. That said, Rangers-Islanders,as a rivalry,has also experienced bad luck,in that they haven't faced each other in the playoffs since 1994. Since then,it's always been either the Islanders being good and the Rangers being bad,or the Rangers being good and the Islanders being bad,or both being bad at the same time. A rivalry like this is slept on outside of the New York/Long Island area. It's one of those that would definitely grow the game, because there's enough of everything to go around. Hell,it would probably turn casual fans into fans of either team (but mostly it would grow the Islanders' fan base,being that the Rangers are the "Nickelback" of hockey teams,lol)

    So I get you're an Isles fan, but you overlooked a big rivalry when bringing up the different ones...
    Blues-Blackhawks has always been one of the best rivalries in NHL outside of Boston-Toronto, New York-Boston, and the Pennsylvania rivalry of Pittsburgh-Philadelphia
    With that said, the battle of New York supremacy is still a good rivalry, even though both teams have been either really bad or just good enough for Playoffs since 1994

    • @earboysport
      @earboysport  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I agree, and I think I could be swayed depending on the day on what the actual "biggest" Rivalry is...
      But...for this video, I tried to argue the point, that prior to the 90s and the Islanders becoming a laughing stock. There were not many rivalries that could match Islanders-Rangers.
      From the numerous playoff series showcased in the video, to the build up of wanting to legitimately embarrass each other, plus the overall location and distance of the Rivalry. I think there's a strong case that had there been more Islanders-Rangers playoff series past '94, people nowadays would look at the Islanders-Rangers as one of the biggest in the sport.
      I figure everyone will have a different opinion on it, just felt like a making an argument in the video to amplify why the "Double Chili" night signaled a HUGE turning point heading into the 80s for this rivalry and hockey as a whole.

      The point was to bring attention to this great, underrated rivalry, especially because Penguins-Flyers and Blues-Blackhawks are marketed to death by the NHL. I'm a Canadiens fan,and while our rivalries over the years with Boston, Toronto,Quebec and Ottawa are brutal affairs, I'm also a NYC native and Long Island resident. I've got friends on both sides of this rivalry,and it's as intense as it gets. There's no shortage of fights on the Long Island Railroad out of Penn Station when the teams play at MSG (the L.I.R.R. is the commuter train that serves the Island,and Penn Station is right under MSG ). It's definitely quite a rivalry, regardless of how both teams are doing,and it's very personal for both sets of fans. It's one that,if the rest of North America saw more often, would have even casual fans hooked,as there's something for everyone. It's only a shame they haven't faced each other in the playoffs in so long

    Sorry but the Islanders - Rangers rivalry is NOTHING compared to THE BIGGEST RIVALRY the NHL has ever saw. The Montreal Canadiens - Quebec Nordiques rivalry. The rivalry wasn't just on the ice. It was also in the media of both cities. Journalists covering their respective teams almost came to blows on several occasions in the press box. Also for the first five years of their existence Nordiques games were banned (TV and radio) within a 150 mile radius around Montreal.
    Also the entire province of Quebec was divided in two. The Eastern part of the province was Nordiques while the Western half was Habs. Families were torn apart during the Holiday Season when both teams met twice in a span of a few days during that time.
    But worse it was a war between two rival breweries. Molson Brewery who owned the Canadiens and O'Keefe who owned the Nordiques. There were boycotts of each companies beer products organized in both cities. So much so that the Montreal Expos (MLB) who were sponsored at that time by O'Keefe changed to Labatt Breweries. The bubble finally bursted during the Stanley Cup playoff game in 1984 remembered as the Good Friday Game,

    It still has nothing on Montreal VS Toronto though. NYC thinks about baseball, football, basketball and then hockey in that order for the most part

    Islanders are still a joke. They consistently make the playoffs, but not 1 single fan would bet on them for winning the cup or even making the finals.

    I am sorry to break it to you but the Rangers-Islanders is far from being hockey most brutal rivalry. Canadiens-Bruins, Canadiens-Nordiques and Oilers-Flames make that little sissy fest in MY look like kindergarten play
