After a throttling of Edmonton Sunday afternoon, the Isles did their best impression to do the same this evening in Columbus. The Islanders have won all three meetings so far this season against the Jackets, and they have outscored them 12 to four in that process. Those numbers were increased tonight as they earned a hard fought win 3-2 in a shootout. That makes two in a row with a huge test up next in the re-rejuvenated Los Angeles Kings. Below is the best hits via social media during tonight’s victory.
And we begin with a bang.
Oh… NOOOoooOooO! Not Halak! #Isles

Alarm clock sounds.
Halak denies Hartnell from doorstep to keep it 2-1 with 6:00 left in 1st. CBJ apparently not going to lay down like #Isles last opponent.

Don’t tell that to Isles fans.
Another bailout by jaro maybe this will settle the butterflies. #Isles

Well then.
Shots are about 34-0 #Isles in opening 2:49 of 2nd (actually 5-0). They look awake.

Another reason to anger Isles fans lol.

Correctamundo.
This team passes way to much. Someone needs to be selfish and shoot the puck #isles

Were on that type of panic now huh?
Season saved…for now.

What this person said.
Korpisalo having trouble seeing puck lately. #Isles need to generate more traffic in front of him.

I think I trust Hickey more than any other D on the wrong end of a 2-on-1
