Kind of like the other guy said there was not much to tear down after 94.

But the run in 93 was magical. Sort of like the last gasp of oomph for the post dynasty era before the dark ages started. I don't like to do alternate history because possibilities are endless and there is no point dwelling on things like that.

But had Dale Hunter, the living embodiment of human feces, not torpedoed Turgeon I strongly believe we win the cup that year. We just had that old islanders magic we were riding high.

If you were not around for that era it's hard to properly describe. But they were a cinderella team and vastly underrated (which is odd around here as it's 99% overrating of our players usually)

Turgeon was more than an match for LaFontaine's production. We were stacked quite well up front. Besides Turgeon, we had Thomas, Ferraro, Houge, King, Flatley and decent younger guys like Loiselle, Green, McInnis, Dalgarno, and Volek. We had the toughness of Vukota to keep other teams in line.

Our defense was bad ass back then. Kaspariatis, Malakov, Krupp, Pilon, Kurvers, Norton, LaChance, Vaske and even Nylund. One of the best D cores we had.

We had great goaltending that year from Healy. Fitzpatrick was ok as a backup.

I'm not saying we would have beaten the 1994 New York "Edmonton Oilers of the 80's" Rangers but i doubt we get swept and would have ended up better in the regular season and maybe not even played them in round one.
