#NYC #NYI #isles📷 So when did New York really win their last season opener at home in a full season? 10-11-1980 with a 5-2 win vs Boston where the first Stanley Cup banner was raised. They never played a regular season opener at home from 1982-1994. pic.twitter.com/oW5QaXVr1o

Most years they opened on the road.
#NYC #NYI #isles Before the 1980 season opener at home they only time they opened at home was the inaugural season of 1972-73 with seven straight home games. 1-5-1. So 1972-1980-1995 (after lockout) with 48 games beginning in January.
