TOC Matchup #6: #3 86’ Boston Celtics (NBA) vs. #6 82’ New York Islanders (NHL)


1.       #3 86’ Boston Celtics (REC: 67-15, HC: K.C.Jones, Star Player: Larry Bird): I don’t really remember much from this team. I was only 9 years old when they played. But what I do remember is that of a very dominant team that made most others know before they even played that the game was over. Parish and Bird made for one of the most formidable inside/outside combination in NBA history. When I look back and think about it this team may be on of the most dominant teams that the NBA will ever see. And yes that includes the current back to back NBA champion Miami Heat…


2.       #6 82’ New York Islanders (REC: 54-16-10, MAN: Al Arbour, Star Player: Denis Potvin): Now being that I wasn’t much of a hockey fan back then all of the good teams seemed to be on the east coast so I had nobody to root for. But after reading some articles about this team, I realized that this was a very good team that could probably compete for a Stanley Cup title today….

Winner: 86’ Boston Celtics…
