    1983-May-12 - NHL Stanley Cup G2 - New York Islanders at Edmonton Oilers - Classic Hockey Radio Broadcast

    The 1983 Stanley Cup Final brought together two teams at very different points in their respective arcs. The New York Islanders were attempting to secure a fourth straight championship, having established themselves as the dominant team of the early '80s with a methodical, disciplined style of play. The Edmonton Oilers, in just their fourth NHL season, were driven by an explosive offense led by Wayne Gretzky, who had just posted an NHL-record 196 points in the regular season. Game 2, played on May 12 in Edmonton, reflected the broader clash between experience and firepower. While the Oilers generated pressure with their high-tempo attack, the Islanders relied on structured defensive play and opportunistic scoring, bolstered by Billy Smith's goaltending and physical tone-setting. This game continued the narrative that had formed during the playoffs — Edmonton sweeping past Winnipeg and Calgary before ousting Chicago, while the Islanders ground through Washington, the Rangers, and Boston. In this second game of the Finals, the Islanders showed why they remained a difficult opponent to crack, frustrating the Oilers’ young core with consistent forechecking and timely counterattacks. The Oilers, despite their talent, struggled to convert opportunities against a veteran team that didn’t stray from its postseason formula. #WayneGretzky #BillySmith #NewYorkIslanders #EdmontonOilers #StanleyCup1983 #MikeBossy #NHLPlayoffs
