IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Everyone knew coming in to tonight that the Islanders were going to face a huge challenge going up against one of the best the West has to offer in the Los Angeles Kings, but no one told them that. The Isles were up to the challenge as they’ve been when any team from the Western Conference has made there way to Barclays Center. An impressive 5-2 win gave the Isles their third win in a row. The Isles have now outscored their opponents 18-6 in the past three games on home ice, plus ended their slate against teams from out West at home with a dominating 12-0-2 record. Saturday night the Isles could extend their win streak to four when they take on the Carolina Hurricanes, but for now enjoy tonight’s big victory and check out the best hits from social media.
New color for the playoff push, we will never forget you white SUV.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the white SUV has left the building. I repeat, the white SUV has left the building. #Isles pic.twitter.com/hLmNRqoskj

A Man on a Mission featuring John Tavares. Playing now at a hockey arena near you.
That's 11 points in last 7+ games for Tavares.

All of a sudden a highly dangerous one.
Wow what team are we watching? #isles

Would have been awesome but five is good to.
I hope the #Isles score 15 goals tonight.

Yeah, it’s called shooting the puck at will.
Tavares goes over the shoulder and under the bar for the second time in three games. New trick for the captain? #Isles

Troll level at 100.
#isles up 4-2 with 9 to play. Worth mentioning because anyone following from Kings goal would think NY was down 5. :))

Bonus: The Captain putting the team on his back and climbing the ranks in the process.
John Tavares scores to pass Billy Harris for sole possession of 12th most points by an Islander (444), next up in 11th is Pat Flatley at 488
