"Game 4 1983 Stanley Cup Final Edmonton Oilers at New York Islanders (CBC"
From Islanders Pride
If you look back at the Long Islander Islanders (as I call them) from the 1980s, they could've been not just team of the 1980s, but perhaps had the best dynasty that any NHL franchise has ever had and that includes the Montreal Canadians of the 1970s and the Edmonton Oilers of the 1980s.

The Islanders win the first 4 Stanley Cup Finals of the 1980s. Which is literally the North American Championship of major league pro hockey, but then they never really get close to getting back to the Stanley Cup Finals, after losing to the Oilers in 5 games in 1984.
