RIP to one of the greatest coaches to ever walk around the NY area.

this season. Maybe his trademark glasses.

:(

The Islanders of the 1980's were my heroes and Arbor was the man who helped them become great.

He wasn't long for life when the islanders had a day to hang with him during the season. RIP coach.

Great coach. Great man.

19 straight playoff series won is amazing.

mid-80's Islander teams....What a pleasure to watch and dominate. He will be missed. RIP, Radar! A great man!

A true gentleman, a legendary coach and a great man.

And also not afraid to rip his players a new one when they needed. The firm hand on the rudder of the Dynasty. Goodbye and godspeed, Coach. RIP.

The greatest

Knew this day was coming soon... sad

one of the true greats of his profession and a class act.

coach. Great man. So sorry for his passing. Prayers to his family and friends. RIP. God bless.

Rest in Peace.

column on Al and his Islanders..Had to come over "here" to post my condolences..

Hated the Islanders as I was horn and raises a Rangers' fan..My son was a diehard Islander fan..Hayted the fact that he had 4 cups to my Zip(until that glorious '94)..That all said, he was one of the greatest coaches that ever lived on one of the greatest hockey teams that ever played..

RIP to a classy guy..A teue gentleman

.

I'll never like him or any Islander but I respect him. He was a great coach.

a true legend....i did not realize he suffered from Parkinson's and dementia. Sad.

A truly great coach

he was a great coach.. R.I.P Al and sorry to all of the fans for their loss.

when he was a team mate of Don Cherry and winning the Calder Cup.
Little did we know what names these two AHL defense men would make for themselves later in life!

Arbour was a class act and he knew how to coach. He got the most out of his players and they loved playing for him. He made my childhood one filled with winning and making my friends who were Ranger fans miserable. Rest in Peace.

Showing the Raise the Cup series (the cup winning games). They're on the 3rd cup currently vs. VAN, EDM on deck next.

I was real young when he was at the helm but my first memories of the Isles were watching his teams with my dad. It's when I became a fan.

Sad day.

The coach behind one of the greatest sports dynasties of all time, and from all accounts a wonderful human being.

Thank you for all of the wonderful Islander memories from my childhood, and condolences to your friends and family.

the passing of Arbour. The Islanders are truly entering a new era.
