38 years ago
tonight (1976) - Bob Bourne scored two goals and six other Isles also scored as
the Isles trounced the Detroit Red Wings 8-1.
Bryan Trottier scored his first goal of the season as the Isles won
their fourth straight game, extended their unbeaten streak to six, and gave the
Isles an 8-point lead over Philadelphia in the Patrick Division.

The Isles
bombarded the Red Wings with 47 shots; Ed Giacomin made 39 saves in the Detroit
net.
Despite the
win, and despite increasing his record to 6-1-1 and decreasing his goals
against average to 1.63, Chico Resch was not satisfied with his own play. “I had a lot of help from the defense”, he
told Newsday’s Pat Calabria. “If I had been on the other end of the ice, the
score might have been 16-1.”
Also on this
date: (1985) – Mike Bossy scored the winning goal in the second period as the
Isles, behind Kelly Hrudey, defeated the Devils (and Chico Resch) 3-2.
All-time, the
Isles have played only five November 9th games at the Coliseum (none since
1993) and finish with a 3-2-0 record on this date at 1255 Hempstead Turnpike in
Uniondale.
