- With the New York Islanders, Bryan Trottier
- played on the same line as Mike Bossy and
- Clark Gillies. This trio was the ultimate
- combination of speed, precision, and
- power. Mike was the sharpshooter, always
- ready for the perfect pass to slap into the
- net. Bryan always knew where Mike was
- and hit him with pinpoint passes. Clark
- was the biggest and hardest-hitting of the
- three. He would wrestle the puck away from
- defensive players and and pass it to his
- linemates. With this threesome -- and
- defenseman Denis Potvin -- the Islanders
- won the Stanley Cups three times in a row,
- from 1980 to 1982. They won their fourth in
- a row in 1983, with Anders Kallur replacing
- Clark alongside Bryan and Mike.
