The 5 Hole: Ousted in Ottawa

For the first time this season, the Islanders made their way North of the Border. Ottawa was the destination. This game was the second of a back to back, in which the Isles won the first game last night in a shootout 2-1. The win gave them their fourth in a row, and tonight was a chance to make it a season high five wins in a row. They fell in overtime 3-2. A tough end to what was a great week it was for the Isles and their fans. Here’s the best hits from tonight’s … via social media.
Take em any way you can get em.

That'll work. #Isles

True. True. But, don’t Isles fans sometimes feel that way all the time?

The #Isles are lucky to be leading this game right now.

You don’t see the word fortunate many times when it comes to this team.

#isles are fortunate to have a 1-0 lead after the first period. They had to kill off two penalties after Matt Martin's goal. #Sens

Do you take this goal-tending tandem till death do you part?

Halak! I'm in love with this goaltending, I want to marry this goaltending

Too much joyriding after the games, I’m guessing.

This is @NYIslanders 6th game in last 9 days and Rags game was intense. Not shocking if they look tired #isles #mascotsopinion

Swishing and dishing. Would have been better if Leddy buried it.

OMG what a pass by Tavares. #Isles

He will score this year? Won’t he? Please tell me he will.

Leddy really is snakebit this year. #Isles

Other than the turnovers, I can’t see where this is wrong.

Without a period mostly on the PK, can't really complain about this road game… #isles pic.twitter.com/XkC425wxN6

I said: Hey Josh Bailey? I wanna know when you’ll score a goal. I said!

Bailey scored for his mom! That is great. 2-0 #Isles

Happy Birthday Mom. Signed, Josh Bailey.

I was just thinking the same thing.

The part of the game #Isles fans all know too well. Buckle up!
