The Islanders have been playing some good hockey as of late, and with one game left before the all star break, they needed to go in strong. After not getting to play Saturday night, tonight the Isles were faced with that task. Opposing them was another tough opponent in the Detroit Red Wings. These two teams always put on some entertaining games when they get together, and tonight was not any different. The Isles though were on the losing side of a 4-2 score. Going into the break with a loss especially with the momentum the team was building. Everyone enjoy the show known as the All Star game, but before then take a look at the best bites via social media from the contest earlier this evening.
Obvious…
It's seems so rare that Hickey makes a mistake that when he does it's shocking #isles

One of the forgotten good guys from the early 2000’s.
That said, still love Chris Osgood. One of my favorite former #Isles. #OZZIE

It’s a bold strategy Cotton, let see if it pays off for them.

I need to hear this with Paul Heyman speaking.
Rush into offensive zone brutal turn over.. Rush back and stay there for 3 mins while getting shelled… Repeat #Isles

Telling it like it is.
Cizikas: "That was an unacceptable period. Its was ugly." More honesty in one intermission interview than in Cappy's entire tenure #Isles

Nailed it.
#Isles better come out in the third with a purpose. This has been unacceptable so far tonight.

I wonder how many times I’ve heard that one.
