NEW YORK ISLANDERS

FRANCHISE FACE: Denis Potvin OTHER CANDIDATES: Mike Bossy, Bryan Trottier, Billy Smith, John Tavares

THE SKINNY: Bossy, Trottier and Smith also are Hall of Famers. Our reason for giving Potvin the edge: 29 years after retiring, the Rangers crowd at Madison Square Garden — the world’s selfproclaimed most famous arena — still chants “Potvin Sucks” twice per game. If that’s not hockey immortality, we don’t know what is.
