Along with Skates at the Stakes podcast host AJ DeVito, Mike and Dan remember Tom Kuhnhackl, a depth winger capable of unforgettable goals and non-goals alike. Coming over as a free agent in the first year under Lou Lamoriello and Barry Trotz, Kuhnhackl provided the Islanders with the kind of no frills veteran experience they didn't always have before. And in the Islanders' first playoff series Game 1 at home in many years, Kuhnhackl blew the roof off of Nassau Coliseum with a goal... that was called back due to offsides. But the event remains a signature moment for that series and that magical season, even though the next two campaigns had only a few standout moments for the German-born forward. AJ tells us about his connection to Kuhnhackl through their shared heritage, the games, friends and barbecues he remembers from that resurgent season and what it must feel like to be known as "The Skating Wardrobe." Thanks so much to AJ for coming on and please check out Stakes at the Stakes, one of the most passionate and persistent Islanders podcasts you'll find.
