Four, the Islanders

May 17, 1983

On May 17, 1983 the NY Islanders swept to their fourth consecutive Stanley Cup with a 4 - 2 cup victory over the Edmonton Oilers and moved into the National Hockey League record book next to the Montreal Canadiens.

As the game ended, the 15,317 sell out crowd sung "We Are the Champions of the World". Billy Smith of the Islanders took the ice with a can of beer.
