IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Saturday night, the Isles played one of their worst games all season long in a 6-3 loss, so a bounce back game was in the cards. That was going to be a tough task seeing that the Detroit Red Wings would be in the way. The Wings have had the Isles number this year outscoring them nine to three in both contest. Today, though the Isles returned the favor blowing out the Wings 4-1 in a President’s Day matinee. Getting the victory gives the Isles four wins in their past five, and with the Capitals up next, it could be a great source of momentum. Here’s the best bites via social media from today’s triumph.
Just your usual start to a game.
Looked like Tavares got dumped first, naturally. #Isles

We’re running out of words to describe how good they are.
#Isles penalty kill has been tremendous all season

Welcome to Brooklyn, Greg.
Just heard my first "drinking water" reference from Islanders fans to Red Wings fans at Brooklyn matinee. #NHL

One good guy makes the others better, that’s hockey Suzyn.
Tavares makes his line mates better. You're especially seeing it today. Grabovski and Strome appear to be on another level today. #Isles

His appealing to the masses.
I like an angry Tavares…#Isles, #IslesTwitter

I’m in the same boat on that one.
I'll take a scoreless first considering their track record this season with day games. #isles

“Who’s Zid? Zid scored baby!”
Zidlicky with a goal against his former team. 3-0. #RedWings #Isles pic.twitter.com/JOKircEhrD

I don’t know is it?
Is this real life Zidlicky scored!! #Isles
— Matt Carr (@IslandersFan26) February 15, 2016
That feels like a lifetime ago.
Zidlicky had gone 16 games without a goal (Dec. 13). #Isles

I’m not sure I would YES chant to this my friend.
This team is so hot and cold its ridiculous #Isles #YesYesYes

Stop Brian, your being to Greiss.
Thomas Greiss. Always in position, always calm in there. #Isles
— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) February 15, 2016
I smell a controversy coming.
Greiss playing like a No. 1 goaltender today. #isles

Your guess is as good as mine.
When did the #Isles get so good on faceoffs?
— Rob Gatt (@r_gatt) February 15, 2016
All season is more like it.
All game #Isles pic.twitter.com/KVK5g9AJ6S

Servicecable? Your joking right?
Greiss looks better and better as the year goes on. Not perfect, but very serviceable. #isles

The Greiss is Nice! #Isles pic.twitter.com/b6DO5ZpFMO

Top-notch analysis here. Haha.
Following a Kulemin breakaway, Abdelkader gets called for sliding Howard's stick back to him.
Yeah, I don't know…#isles

Just another thing to love about El Capitan.
It turns out Tavares has eyes in the back of his head. #DETvsNYIhttps://t.co/dUWrwUqByd
