The 5 Hole: Cat Scratched Fever

The Islanders took their first trip to the state of Florida last night. The first stop of a back to back was a matchup with the Florida Panthers. After falling behind 2-0, the Islanders tied the game and eventually lost the game in a wild shootout, losing by a final of 3-2. With one point in the bank, a possible three out of four points could be in the cards if the defeat the Lightning tonight. Here’s the top social media activity from last night’s game.
Seems this is the trend anytime they are playing in Sunrise. Not good enough.

Cizikas line only one playing with snarl so far. #isles in a bit of a disorganized lull getting through neutral zone.

This will go over well with Isles Twitter. NOT!

#Isles third D pair looking lousy so far. Zidlicky with some poor puck decisions

Is Brooklyn in the house? I thought so.

Okay, Grabovski and Kulemin taking our sideline reporter to a russian restaurant in Brighton Beach is a terrific idea. #Isles #Leafs

So your telling me Nick Leddy has to score to be effective? Yes! Yes he does!

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Nick Leddy still hasn't scored. This is a problem. #Isles

Hard to believe what was in store for the final 20 minutes.

Lifeless, anemic, pathetic. The #Isles first 40 minutes tonight against the #FLAPanthers

Welcome back Stromer. You were severely missed.

Good to see pep talk I gave @strome18 yesterday on ride to airport paid off. That a boy! #YesYesYeSUV #isles

Capital letter game strong. Another one of Isles Twitter’s punching bags comes through.

JOSH BAILEY ties the game with an #ISLES GOAL!! It's 2-2 with 11:21 to go in the third. Here we go!

All that’s missing is Kenny Wu.

Made history for the wrong reason. Sigh.

.@NYIslanders/@FLAPanthers shootout was 1st in NHL history (of at least 5 rounds) in which all but 1 shooter scored (9 of 10) @EliasSports
