Clark Gillies, one of the stalwart members of the Islanders Cup dynasty, has died at the all too young age of 67:

Some long time fans may recall that Gillies and Terry O'Reilly squared up 4 times in the Bruins 5 game series loss to the NY Islanders in the 1980 quarterfinals. Gillies also scored the OT winner in Game 1 in the old Boston Garden, which ended up setting the tone for that series. Gillies would go on to have his name engraved 4 times on Lord Stanley's Cup.
