IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The All Star break has come and gone, and now it’s back to business for the Islanders. Tuesday nights’ game started a stretch of 35 games in the next 68 nights to end the season. For the first time this season, they met the Minnesota Wild for a showdown. The Isles have not been kind to Western Conference opponents this season. 10-1-1 is the Isles record at home when they welcome in a opponent from the West. Tonight’s game was no different. A 5-3 throttling allowed the Islanders to start of the stretch run strong on the right foot knowing the division leading Washington Capitals will be waiting for them Thursday night. Below are the best bites from social media during tonight’s affair, enjoy.

Staple: The Mindreader of IslesTwitter. Hazzah!!
Vanek and Nino both getting some hearty boos from the crowd. Imagine if he'd taken the $50 mil.

This made me chuckle.
Most sarcastic penalty call ever heard. Almost as if ref was mocking #isles too many men call.

Is there any reason no to? HELL NO!!!!
Fans get excited every time Martin, Clutterbuck and Cizikas fly in on the forecheck

“Good…Good…Very Good.
#Isles look like a brand new team here in the 2nd frame. Forces turnovers, crisper passes

I’ve seen this script before. Gulps.
Its fine guys. Its only the #isles, its only our 3rd string goalie, and its only the third period, and we’re up by two… What could go wrong?
— Chris Coppola (@ccoppola6) February 3, 2016
Every burning second of it.
Gotta love the intensity that @91Tavares plays with #isles
