IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After a convincing win Tuesday night against Minnesota, the Islanders headed down to the nation’s capital for a showdown with the division leading Capitals. Tonight was the first time the Isles have played in D.C. since losing in game seven of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals last spring. With points at a premium and revenge on their side, the Isles fought hard but came out on the losing end of a 3-2 decision. It was one of the best games the team played all season. Hopefully they can take this game as a positive and use it as fuel for a huge weekend ahead. Below is tonight’s social media recap.
The other Russian scores…Drink.

Love the choice of words here. Novel..Lol.
Hey. I didn't know you were allowed to call infractions committed against the #Isles. How novel.

Genius! Genius! Genius!
Nope not feeling it. #Isles pic.twitter.com/b9mUQXZqkC

Exactly.
It could be just a one-night thing, but I think the overall effort tonight from the #Isles is more indicative of what we should always see
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 5, 2016
Say that again?
#ISLES GOAL!!! Josh Bailey ties it 2-2!! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Could feel it up and down my spine.
Playoff intensity. @NBCSN #isles
— Mat (@crunchguy) February 5, 2016
The comparison just makes my blood boil.
Jeez the Caps are like the Patriots. Make one mistake and they bury you. JT loses Ovie in the slot, game over. Tough loss for #Isles.

That pain will sit for a good day and half.
That one hurts.
