🏒On May 19, 1984 with a 5-2 win in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals, the Edmonton Oilers dethrone the Islanders, ending New York's 4-year reign as champions. The victory marks the "arrival" of the highly touted Oilers, who are in their 5th season in the NHL and are led by superstar center Wayne Gretzky. In last year's Cup final, the Islanders squashed the promising Oilers in a 4-game sweep. But the Islanders could no longer prevent the simmering offense of the young Oilers squad from erupting.

Once upon a time, the Oilers were the NHL's model franchise. ⭐️ Almost 40 years ago, Edmonton was home to one of the most dominant dynasties in hockey history – one that took flight by vanquishing another in the unforgettable 1984 Stanley Cup Finals. 🏆 | theScore
