The 5 Hole: Shot Out of a Cannon

It’s tough times in Islander Country, and the Isles keep taking bullet after bullet. Those bullets aren’t just being put through the roster, but also where the team sits in the Metro and Eastern Conference. With the Rangers coming into Brooklyn Thursday, the team needed to get their confidence back with a win. The Isles did accomplish that feat this evening when they defeated to the Blue Jackets 5-2. This is the part of the season where the Isles have to show their metal, starting such a huge week with a victory hopefully brings them a little bit of life. The top hits from social media can from tonight’s win can be found below.
Didn’t spend to much time stroming around.

Couldn’t agree more myself.

If the SUV has to be there, I say something creative needs to be done on goals ala the Mets apple. #isles
