The New York Islanders entered the 1980-81 NHL season as the defending Stanley Cup champions, and they picked up right where they left off, finishing first overall in the League and going on to win their second straight Cup in a five game Final vs. the Minnesota North Stars. This powerful team was led by its first line of Bryan Trottier, Mike Bossy and Clark Gillies, Denis Potvin on defense, and Billy Smith in goal, all of them future Hall of Famers; aided by a strong supporting cast of skilled and hardworking teammates. They would go on to capture four straight Cups in total, becoming one of only three teams in NHL history to accomplish that feat, and in doing so won an amazing 19 consecutive playoff series, a record that has never been matched. Here is a full sized, full color yearbook in near mint condition that has been autographed alongside their photos by almost every player on this dynastic team, for a total of 21 different signatures, as follows: Hall of Famers Potvin (on the cover), Trottier, Bossy, Gillies, Smith and coach Al Arbour; plus Resch, Nystrom (3), Tonelli, Bourne, Goring (2), Morrow, Lorimer, J. Potvin, Henning, Langevin, Merrick, Howatt, Kallur, Lane & Persson.
