New York Islanders vs. Detroit Red Wings – March 29, 2015
Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, Uniondale, New York • Section 302, Row F, Seat 9 • Price: $63.00 • Home Game 39

The third ticket in the Nassau Coliseum farewell season commemorative series — this one celebrating John Tonelli's dynasty-saving overtime goal on April 13, 1982, one of the most important moments in Islanders history and perhaps the least heralded of their dynasty's great clutch plays. The ticket front features a full-color tribute photo of Tonelli with text describing how his goal at 6:19 of overtime gave the Islanders a 4-3 victory in Game 5 of the Patrick Division Semifinals against the Pittsburgh Penguins — keeping the dynasty alive.

Tonelli's Dynasty-Saving Moment – April 13, 1982
The 1982 Patrick Division Semifinals were the most dangerous moment the Islanders dynasty faced after winning two consecutive Stanley Cups. The Pittsburgh Penguins pushed New York to a deciding Game 5, threatening to derail what would become four consecutive championships. John Tonelli — a relentless two-way forward known for his work ethic and clutch play — scored at 6:19 of overtime to seal the 4-3 victory. The Islanders went on to win the Patrick Division, defeat Vancouver in the Finals, and claim their third straight Stanley Cup. Without Tonelli's goal, the dynasty ends at two. It is one of the defining moments of the Islanders' championship era, even if it doesn't always get the same attention as Nystrom's Cup-winner or Bossy's 50-in-50.

The Nassau Coliseum Farewell Series
This is the third of three consecutive home game tribute tickets from the 2014–15 season — the Islanders' final year at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum:

• Home Game 39 (this ticket): John Tonelli, April 13, 1982 OT goal vs. Penguins
• Home Game 40: Mike Bossy, January 24, 1981 — 50 goals in 50 games
• Home Game 41: Bobby Nystrom, May 24, 1980 — Stanley Cup-winning overtime goal

Together these three tickets tell the complete story of the Islanders dynasty. A collector lucky enough to have all three has something truly special.
