How far could they have gone had they managed to get out of the first round?
One consistent theme of the post-Dynasty Islanders is being beaten by the Flyers in the second round (as happened in 1985 and 1987), but in 86 and 88 the Flyers went out in the first round. Sadly though so did the Islanders. So had they manged to get pass the Caps in 86 and Devils in 88 how far do they go? I know these weren't Cup winning teams, but it would have been nice to see Arbour's first stint and Potvin's career end on better notes than they did.
