The 5 Hole: Singing Da Blues

After an exhilarating shootout win over the Rangers Wednesday, the Islanders were back in action earlier this evening. Their opposition, the St. Louis Blues. The Islanders had already defeated the Blues 3-2 at the beginning of the season on a Mikhail Grabovski overtime goal. Tonight’s result was another hard fought win, with a score of 2-1 in the shootout. This game was the first of a back to back, as the Isles head to Ottawa tomorrow night with a chance to make it five wins in a row. The top hits from social media of tonight’s victory/defeat can be seen below, enjoy.
Greiss under it? He makes the catch.

"Can 'o corn" for #Greiss #Isles ?

If you don’t find that funny, something is wrong with you.

Headlights on. Let's kill this #isles

Grabo: “I Russian. I fear no one.”

Grabovski takes Cizikas' shift on 4th line against Ott-Brodziak-Reaves line. Little scared for Grabo out there.

When it comes to the Islanders, icing and them don’t really go together.

Its been two seasons now we've had the no touch icing and we still have no idea what actually constitutes an icing #isles

What he said.

Yo Thomas Greiss, get on your black pad/mask game. Cool? #isles

That’s weird because this year, it’s the complete opposite.

Best couple scoring chances by #Isles 4th line so far. That's not how you win games.

She did ask nicely. On IslesTwitter, that doesn’t happen very often.

I need a goal, gentlemen. #isles

Swag to the max with this one.

The #Isles doing a lot more slicing and dicing/wheeling and dealing/bounding and astounding here in the 2nd.
