IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Isles concluded their three game road trip earlier tonight with a team they know all to well, except this year. I’m referring to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Tonight’s game was the first time the teams met this season. Hard to believe. Last year, the Isles took it to the Pens winning four of the five meetings, and that trend wasn’t the same tonight. A 5-2 loss was the result. Tonight’s game was also the first one of the year 2016, so starting this back to back weekend with a loss was not the best way. Below you’ll find the best hits from social media.
Obviously not.
Do the #isles realize the game started?

Power of being positive…sort of.
Battle level: non-existent. Thankfully plenty of time for #isles to turn things around.

GREISS LIGHTNING! GO GREISS LIGHTNING!
First period all about Thomas Greiss. #isles not offering much resistance just yet.

Hopefully it doesn’t explode.
This team is acting like the puck is a live grenade #isles

I’m all for this happening.
Torts tirade coming up for the #isles in first intermission. Bank on it.

PAGING ADAM PELECH? ADAM PELECH?
Leddy (9:33) and Hamonic (9:34) logging heavy minutes in 1st. Tomorrow's 5 pm start should be fun.

This……..(point down emoji)
Don't care about penalties not being called. I'm more concerned that the #isles can't string together 3 consecutive passes
— Dan (@PuppyChrist) January 3, 2016
Blatantly true.
Refs are garbage this game. #isles have been worse though.

No words needed.

This made me chuckle.
Gonna Laugh but Colin McDonald would hit some people and make a play to spark #isles here.
— Mike R (@FurleySportsFan) January 3, 2016
Hit the nail right on the head.
5-0 #Penguins #isles are beyond frustrated.

Welp there’s always this.
At least were not going to get shutout!! #Isles

Keep dreaming.
7 in the 3rd?

That’s why this fanbase is so fun to be apart of. Lol.
Isles lose: Fire everyone! This team is garbage! Isles win: Fire everyone anyway!

Everybody just shut up! What’s that? The wind.
Tryin to be positive here. No. YOU shut up. #Isles
— Ryan Moroney (@ob1moroney) January 3, 2016
Your pushing it there, my friend.
Super fun fact from first two periods: 5 GA, and 37 wasn't at the root of any of them. #isles
— Sean Cuthbert (@HTW_Sean) January 3, 2016
This makes me sad.
First time Greiss has allowed 4 goals as an #isles. #skinny
— Eric Hornick (@ehornick) January 3, 2016
One lucky S.O.B. if you ask me.
Don't mind not being able to watch this #Isles game right now. Ouch
— Anthony Tartamella (@TartamellaNYI) January 3, 2016
You can sign me up for that one.
Imagine if Brian Strait had a twitter #isles
— El Diablo (@joseph_ntwit) January 3, 2016
Damn right.
#isles could still be in 2nd at the end of tonight. Is foolish to think they deserve it.
— beamiestface (@beamiestface) January 3, 2016
That’s a little over dramatic don’t you think?
This isn't the same #isles. The identity is gone, there's no fight, no edge to their game anymore. These are not my #isles
— Mack (@rgm304) January 3, 2016
Cold as ice.
Just end the game. They shoot horses don't they? #Isles
— Matt S (@GrayWolf718) January 3, 2016
PRAISE THE LORD!
NICK LEDDY HAS SCORED. #Isles
