IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Rangers and Islanders met for the second time this season, and just like the first match-up, the game lived up to the expectations. Both teams have not been playing their best hockey as of late, so anytime a win against your rival can come along, it can change your season. Tonight’s game could be just that for the Isles. They torched King Henrik and the Blueshirts for three goals in a dominant third period, picking up 3-1 victory. The Isles with the win made it their second straight win, plus improved them to 2-0 this season against the Rangers, and 9-3-2 against Metro division opponents overall. The team gets a few days off before getting back at it late Sunday afternoon against Vancouver. Like the Captain said post-game, walk with a strut in your step tomorrow, but before you do check out the top hits from social media during the Isles triumph over the Rangers.
Well, not to be ironic, but the guy played like a machine tonight.

Every time these two teams meet, you die with each and every shift.
Is anyone dying yet? #Isles #NYR

This is either the funniest thing that happened all night, or the saddest.
If I'm not mistaken, #Isles Cal Clutterbuck and #NYR trainer Jim Ramsay are yelling at each other
