New York Islanders 2024-25 Stanley Cup Betting
Last year was a tale of two coaches for the New York Islanders. In the first half of the season, head coach Lane Lambert led the Islanders to a record of 19-15-11. But the Isles were stuck in a rut at the tail end of that string, costing Lambert his job. The fiery Patrick Roy was hired, and New York gained the playoffs, where they were eliminated in five games by the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round. This year the Isles will have the benefit of a full training camp under Roy. Future market betting remains skeptical.

New York Islanders History
Founded in 1972 as an expansion team, the New York Islanders formed one of the greatest dynasties in NHL history, with four consecutive Stanley Cup championships from 1980-83. In those days of glory, Hall of Fame head coach Al Arbour led superstars such as Bryan Trottier, Denis Potvin, Mike Bossy, and Billy Smith.
That Islander dynasty was one of the last in NHL history. It was a powerhouse team that was complete in every way. The Islanders could either outscore their opponents or shut them down. The team did not have a weakness.
The late great Al Arbour went down as one of the greatest head coaches in hockey history. He won all four of the Isles’ Stanley Cup titles with the dream roster assembled by general manager Bill Torrey, who is also in the Hall of Fame. Torrey, known for his bow tie and academic demeanor, amassed a level of talent compared to the team that unseated them for the final NHL dynasty: the Edmonton Oilers.
After the dynasty ended, the Islanders played one of the greatest games in NHL History. The 1987 Easter Epic went into four overtimes. The Islanders clinched the game and series over the Washington Capitals thanks to goaltender Kelly Hrudey stopping 73 out of 75 shots.
Since the 1994-95 season, the Islanders have been out more than in. New York made the playoffs only ten times in that span, with just one appearance in the Conference Final (2020).
Retired Islander numbers include defenseman Denis Potvin #5, left wing Clark Gillies #9, center Bryan Trottier #19, right wing Mike Bossy #22, right wing Bob Nystrom #23, left wing John Tonelli #27, goalie Billy Smith #31, and center Butch Goring #91.
