According to my sports history calendar: April 13, 1982 - With the Islander dynasty on the verge of crumbling in Game 5 of a first-round Stanley Cup playoff series against Pittsburgh, a loose puck along the boards bounces right over the stick blade of Penguins defenseman Randy Carlyle, last year's Norris Trophy winner. John Tonelli pounces on the giveaway for the tying goal for the Isles with only 2 1/2 minutes left. In sudden-death overtime, it's Tonelli who comes through again at the 6:19 mark to eliminate the pesky Pens, who forced a fifth game after trailing the series 2-0. The Isles go on to win their third successive Stanley Cup after their narrow escape. But, Dave ... sometimes it is something bad about Pittsburgh. ;o) |
