IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After securing probably the biggest win of the season last night, the Islanders faced another monster test as they headed to our nation’s capital for a showdown with the Washington Capitals on the second end of a back to back. The Isles were coming in off just their second two-game win streak of the season, and a win in this game would have given them their longest winning streak of the season at three games. They did just that, as Jaroslav Halak stopped 38 shots as the Islanders were victorious 3-0. They will welcome back Frans Nielsen and the Red Wings Sunday. The social media recap can be found below:
Not many things in the world worse than that stupid horn in Washington. #Isles

The Caps using @BeckyLynchWWE's music as their powerplay pump up music is amazing. Hate them, but love that #isles

If last night's #isles game was like a horse race, how much money did Vanek bet on it?

It’s incredible that this game is still scoreless. #Isles

In the end the #caps PP is just as worse as the #isles
— Matt O'Brien (@War_x_Deadeye) December 2, 2016
Now I saw it. Maybe some heel Tavares there.

Terrific defensive effort by Bailey keeps it scoreless.#isles

I'm a big fan of the #Isles being more aggressive on the PK

If Ladd would've scored there it would've been a sign of the apocalypse #isles

The #Isles are 6 for 6 on the penalty kill tonight, wow
— Rob Taub (@RTaub_) December 2, 2016
This is how the #isles play hockey, secondary scoring, aggressive forechecking, strong goaltending. Helps that they're getting healthy too
