The 5 Hole: Checkmate

The Islanders continued their voyage out west last night for a date with the Los Angeles Kings. In what was a overwhelmingly physical affair, the Isles fell by a score of 2-1. Their record so far on the trip is 1-1-0. They will get a chance to make it a successful trip with a win in Anaheim tomorrow night. Here’s the best social media hits of the night.
Brocking and Rolling.

Sometimes the post is your friend and sometimes it’s not, clearly evident tonight especially in the third period.

Nelson dings one off the post on the 5-on-4 PP. Nothing doing on that PP. #isles pic.twitter.com/wLjy9ApsbS

That shot does make a difference most of the time, so I agree here.

Boychuk was on bench for three shifts with EN … yeah, lets keep that shot on ice for another night huh Cappy

Well now we know the formula for this team to win, SCORE AS MANY GOALS AS POSSIBLE!

The #Isles are 7-1-0 when they score at least three goals and are 1-5-3 when they do not. More in #TheSkinny shortly
