IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
It’s become obvious over the years that whenever the Hurricanes and Isles face off, the games always have twists and turns. These teams have only met once this season back in early October when the Canes picked up an overtime win 2-1 which was very rare since Thomas Greiss was in net. Tonight the tables stayed the same. The Islanders were embarrassed 6-3. They will have a chance to get that bad taste out of their mouth Monday against Detroit. Top social media bites can be found below.
Congrats Dougy!
Doug Weight will be among the '06 Hurricanes honored on ice tonight. He was here only a few mos. but says connections will last forever

As many of us are.
Hahaha I love that I can hear an islander chant #Isles

They’ll be here all night folks.

That hashtag is fire.
I agree @91Butch ! Definitely playing better of late #straitouttacomplaints #isles

The same story way too many times.
#Isles sleepwalking again in 1st period.
— Matt C (@mofunky77) February 14, 2016
That’s an understatement.
Pathetic period. #Isles
— Mike Maxwell (@MikeMaxwell18) February 14, 2016
So will that get him on Isles fans good side? Prediction: probably not.
At least the warrior Strait said they were sleeping, I guess. #isles

Couldn’t have said it better myself.
Looks almost like the #Isles are going through the motions so far tonight. After a good spurt of games, this is a disappointment.
— Brad Kurtzberg (@sealshockey) February 14, 2016
Yep.
This is not going well… #Isles
— Theresa F (@TFLINY) February 14, 2016
Blatantly true.
These are games the #isles need to show up for if they wanna make playoffs. The schedule only gets harder….way, way harder. #noshows

I wish I was doing the same.
Good thing I'm not watching this disaster #isles
— Stacey (@Stacala25) February 14, 2016
Never does when its against the Canes.
#Isles still have time to get going here…but just doesn't look like it's happening tonight
— Mike Carver (@MikeCarverWFAN) February 14, 2016
Perfect reaction.
No words #isles
— Dyan Notaroberto (@Dyannot) February 14, 2016
Non-existent.
Battle level. #Isles

Me either.
Whoopee we scored!! I can't even get excited.#isles

This is hysterical but classic.

Bet on this man!
@NYIslanders bet you won't make it 4-2 on the powerplay
— connor (@ConIsles) February 14, 2016
Still not happy.
Just like that…back in the mix… #isles
— Mike Carver (@MikeCarverWFAN) February 14, 2016
Maybe.

Good, it’s about time. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 14, 2016
Need it desperately.
Well hammer has some fire #isles
— gary sanchez (@garysanchezjr) February 14, 2016
Can I please? I’m begging you!
Turn it off @eddiebellz!! 5-2 #isles
— YeSUV (@IslesWhiteSUV) February 14, 2016
Excellent question.
So, when does Greiss become the starter?
— Cord Lehman (@CordLehman) February 14, 2016
It’s been that way since the game started.
Ok this is embarrassing #isles
— Kevin Carney (@kevinmcarney) February 14, 2016
Another gem from tonight’s debacle.

Not cool bro.
Streak most likely to end. #isles 11-0-0 when #JT91 has 2 pts. He has two — will need 4 more. #canes #NHL
— Eric Hornick (@ehornick) February 14, 2016
Oh those years, oy vey.
#Isles have been a much improved defensive team all year. Tonight has been 1998-2001.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 14, 2016
Ehh.
Matt Martin = league's deadliest sniper! #Isles pic.twitter.com/vjOT3qWVeu

Whatevs. #Isles

I believe it.
#Isles missed Clutterbuck’s energy tonight. He sets tones out there.
