IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After a three day layoff, the Islanders headed down the turnpike for a night with the Philadelphia Flyers. These two teams met back on Thanksgiving eve with the Isles winning 3-1. Tonight was the first time the Islanders were back in the City of Brotherly Love since late last season where they suffered one of the most heartbreaking losses you’ll ever see. Well unlike that game, tonight’s result did go in the Isles favor by a score of 4-3 in a shootout. With the win, the Isles point streak extended to eight games. Below is the best takes from social media from tonight’s victory.
The Danish Forehand of Judgement.

He likes to wait a little longer than usual based on past experiences.

From her lips to god’s ears. She was right.

Every Isles fans’ thought in a nutshell.
One team is playing. One team is watching. Only a matter of time before the #isles give up the tying and go ahead goal

One word to describe this tweet: Exactly.
Hockey periods are 20 minutes. I'm pretty sure 19 of them were played in the #Isles zone in that one

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Back to square one.
Nelson now credited with second #Isles goal. Leddy back to 0 for the year.

I can name a few more things that are missing tonight.
Where is the energy? Where is the fire? Where's the emotion? #isles

Problem is, he’s right.
