Who to get on my jersey?

[spyboy1]

I haven't done one of these for a while.

I've got a vintage Islanders jersey that I am going to put NHL 75th Anniversary and Islanders 20th anniversary patches on.

These were worn in the 91-92 season, long after the 80's dynasty had faded and the team had fallen on some hard times.

Here's the roster from that season to choose from.

Islanders 91-92 Roster

Who would you choose?

[ColeJ]

i'd go with benoit hogue... he's one of the coolest people i've ever met.

and also, marty mcinnis is a player i haven't thought about in years, so he's also a good choice.

[Flame]

Turgeon.

[oddball]

I'd say Chicken Parm, Ray Ferraro.

[FloPoErich]

I'd say Chicken Parm, Ray Ferraro.

I second this!!

[Shumway]

Hogue in a distant 2nd

I'd go with the Captain Patrick Flatley, followed by Steve Thomas and Scott Lachance. Though I was always partial to Mick Vukota.

[Erik121]

Stevie Thomas was awesome during that time. I'd go with him.

[Coast2CoastAM2006]

Steve Thomas or Pierre Turgeon.

[zer0dotcom]

Steve Thomas or Pierre Turgeon.

I'll second one of these guys. Thomas has always played with alot of heart, no matter which city he's in. Turgeon was Turgeon, and is always a safe bet.

If you wanted to go more obscure, go with Fitzpatrick. A goalie is usually a solid bet, but stay away from Glenn Healy.

[CityOfWalrus]

If I was in your position i'd go with

1. David Volek

or

2. Tom Kurvers

[KJTALBOT]

How about no one. I only have jerseys of players who are icons. Barry Sanders of the Lions and Steve Yzerman of the Red Wings.

Chicken Parm

[spyboy1]

I'd say Chicken Parm, Ray Ferraro.

Chicken Parm? Uh, what's up with that nickname?

Was Steve Thomas an assistant captian?

Flatley was captain and Ferraro was an assistant. Turgeon was did not wear the "A".

[FloPoErich]

Ferraro was often referred to as "Chicken Parm" by John Buccigross after an accident with chicken parmesan moments before going on the air... It's stuck ever since

[lets_go_red]

Ray Ferraro or Uwe Krupp

[tp49]

I'd say Chicken Parm, Ray Ferraro.

Chicken Parm? Uh, what's up with that nickname?

Was Steve Thomas an assistant captian?

Flatley was captain and Ferraro was an assistant. Turgeon was did not wear the "A".

Thomas did not wear an "A" that year.

Flatley became Captain upon the trade of Brent Sutter early in the season that brought Thomas to the Island. I believe at the beginning of the season Flatley was one of the "A's."

I'm annoyed that for the life of me I cannot remember who the other "A" was that season nor could I locate the answer either online or in 12 seasons worth of Islanders media guides.

Thanks for taking the time to look all that up. I really think I'm leaning towards Ferraro and a big part of that is because he wore the "A" and the Islanders "A' had these unique serifs on them that look really cool.
