IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
To some it’s more than a game, it’s a war. Rangers versus Islanders. Earlier tonight in front of national TV audience, the Islanders and Rangers added another chapter to their historic rivalry. It also marked the first time the two teams met this season, as well as the first contest between the two at Barclays Center. Always a spirited affair and ruckus atmosphere, the Islanders came out on top 2-1 in a shootout. It’s always funner when the Isles beat the Blueshirts. Have a strut in your step tomorrow and check out the best hits via social media from tonight’s big win.
Now who wouldn’t love an atmosphere like that? Anybody?
Fans back and forth for the first 10 with chants of #letsgoislanders #letsgoRangers #isles

Well that something Isles fans aren’t used to, a legit penalty kill. I like it.
Nice job by the #Isles on that PK. Believe 9 for their last 9.

Point 1: True, Point 2: True, Point 3: Obvious, Point 4: Exhale.
Rangers are an extremely experienced team, came out focused. #Isles didn’t quite match the intensity. Silver lining: 0-0

I’m used to dead silence. This was a nice change of pace.
'Loud' does not even begin to describe the sound inside the Barclays Center #RivalryNight https://t.co/k5Tb4ITOVP

Cluuter yells Matty! Matty: What? Clutter: GET THE TABLES!
Watching @BComptonNHL attempt to explain WWE performers the Dudley Boyz to @PeterBotte might be THE highlight of the season.

“What started as a plain white SUV, has now become a phenomenon.”
I can’t even imagine how excited @IslesWhiteSUV is for its first NYR/NYI game in Brooklyn. #RivalryNight

I only wish they would hand those signs out to the crowd. It would be epic.

Brett Yormark can thank Rangers fans for the help. Sad but true.

Somewhere Sparky is sulking in a corner.
Wow! This is by far best atmosphere I’ve ever mascotted in. I love hockey. #isles

Don’t lie, this was your feeling when OT began.
This 3 on 3 OT right now #Isles pic.twitter.com/5vrhxuABbj

We can dream right?
Big two points for the Isles. Big win for hockey in New York. That was a great game. Seven of those in April or May would be a ton of fun.

The feeling on our trains right now Islanders fans = ? Rangers fans = ?
