Another night, another Islanders win. This one though came in convincing fashion. After sneaking out of Columbus with a 3-2 win in overtime last night, the Isles ran ruff shot over the New Jersey Devils earlier tonight shutting them out 4-0. Thomas Greiss got his first shutout of the season and the Isles improved to 8-0-2 in their last ten, and it was their sixth straight win against a division opponent. It’s good times in Islander Country, and here’s the best from social media during tonight’s triumph.
This guy is ruthless.
Nice to watch NHL on a Sunday afternoon sure beats the National Felony League #Isles #devils

A lot funnier because everyone hates both of these guys.
NOT STRAIT SCORES! #Isles

Third. Plus he also had the seventh best nickname on the team.

So when was the last time we were able to say that?

I would misspell that hashtag as well knowing this was his first goal in eight games.
Remember that John Tavares guy? He can still score and now leads team in goals again. #Islss pic.twitter.com/pbkqAmVUwY

The only blemish on what was a stellar night all around.
Absolutely no urgency in that 4 minute PP. This is what's wrong. Get up 2 goals and then sit around. #isles

Biggie voice: “IF YOU DON’T KNOW THE FOURTH LINE, NOW YOU KNOW!”
Martin deflection in front, #Isles up 3-0. Maybe this game won't go to overtime?

LET ME REPEAT? I LOVE THIS GOAL-TENDING TANDEM! I’LL SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
While #isles haven't played absolute best past 10 games & in winning streak…goaltending has been a real outstanding confidence builder.

Man our SUV is a superstar.
Fun fact: If @NYIslanders hold on, they will have won as many games in the last 22 hours as @NYRangers have in last 20 calendar days #isles

Now that’s sacrificing yourself for the betterment of the team. Might want to ice that though.
that's one way to block a shot, Johnny pic.twitter.com/K5GtrRGaMg

I didn’t realize their were two celebration nights at Barclays tonight.
It's not every day Zidlicky gets first star in an #Isles game.

Feel the burn Rangers fans. Feel it.
Thomas Greiss .933% 2.03 GAA Henrik Lunqvist .933% 2.14 GAA OUR BACKUP IS BETTER THAN YOUR STARTER @NYRangers

Never ceases to amaze. We are not worthy.
4-0 on the back of Greiss Almighty. #WeEatin https://t.co/ddnoTlyj6z
