New York Islanders Tickets
The New York Islanders hockey club was conceived as the NHL decided to put a hockey team in the newly built Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum. The Islanders opened their inaugural season in October, 1972 with a 3-2 loss to the visiting Atlanta Flames. Victory that first season was quite a rare treat for Islander fans. They finished with only 12 wins to go along with 60 losses, and finished 72 points behind their bitter rivals, the New York Rangers. Their last place finish did have some upside - they received the first overall pick in the 1973 entry draft. The Islanders would draft Ottawa 67's defenseman Denis Potvin, a player who would soon shine as an Islander.
Also joining the Islanders organization that year as coach was Al Arbour. The 1973-74 season was somewhat of a learning exercise for the young team and new coach - the Islanders finished with a 19-41-18 record. The turnaround was apparent in the 1974-75 season, as an Islander team lead by Denis Potvin, Clark Gilles, and Billy Smith finished with 33 wins and their first ever birth in the NHL playoffs. Their first round opponents were the 'dreaded' New York Rangers, heavy favorites to win that series. But the Islanders had other plans and accomplished a major upset by defeating the Rangers in the best of three series.

New York Islanders 2009-10
|
 The New York Islanders' Stanley Cup dynasty of the early 1980s may have taken the first step in making a comeback. The Islanders got a really big break this summer, winning the NHL draft lottery and the right to select ultra-prospect John Tavares, a franchise-caliber player. The Isles also brought in goalies Dewayne Roloson and Martin Biron to solidify the net-minding duties, while the team is expected to largely rely on youth and journeymen for their success in 2009-2010. The Islanders will immediately belong to John Tavares, a daunting responsibility for most rookies. When considering this, keep in mind that Tavares not only broke Wayne Gretzky's junior scoring records, but he petitioned the NHL to be eligible for the draft two years ago. Considered as the best prospect to enter the league since Sidney Crosby, Tavares should make an immediate impact on the top line and power play for the Isles. Backing Tavares up on the scoring side will be Kyle Okposo and Doug Weight, carrying the point-production weight when the Islanders' super rookie is taking a breather. The New York Islanders defense will be made up mostly of young players and journeymen veterans, and built around Mark Streit who not only proved to be an excellent two-way player last year, but was actually the team's leading scorer. In goal, Biron and Roloson actually give the Isles a pair of good foundation in goal, and should provide an opportunity for the Islanders to stay in a lot of games. Both have proven to be very capable goaltenders in the past and both could approach the 40 game mark. Come on out to Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York, and say that you were there as the Isles turned things around, or get New York Islanders tickets just to watch the highly-touted John Tavares begin to skate toward surefire all-star status.
