IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Islanders have been playing good hockey as of late, and except for their no show effort in Carolina, the team has put itself in a good spot. But as always the team that they can’t seem to find a way against is the Washington Capitals who was their opponent tonight. Once again, the Isles fell to the Caps, this time in overtime 3-2. The Isles picked up their ninth point in the past sixth game. They will get the chance to get this defeat out of their system tomorrow night when they head the Jersey for a date with the Devils. Below is the top social media bites from another heart breaker in Brooklyn.
I knew I wasn’t only the one who was feeling it.
I think the roof is open tonight at Barclays. Freakin freezing in here Mr. Bigglesworth. #isles

Off-season planning already in effect.
If Lee can get that backhand down pat he can be a major force in this league. #isles

Only daunting? How about death defying?
#Isles manage to survive the daunting kill.

Proud moment for the parents. Lol.
Kid on the scoreboard held up a sign saying "where are the ice girls?" #Isles

Honestly…..
Tom Wilson won't fight Matt Martin because Matt Martin isn't 5'10". #Isles

The missing link all night long.
#Isles got desperate, got guys in front, caused chaos, gave Holtby trouble. Voila.

Not sure I agree, but whatever you say.
stole a point tonight… gritty effort #isles
— JakeLebowitz (@JakeLebowitz) February 19, 2016
Right.
Any time you wanna let Greiss breath a bit and play some time in the offensive zone that'd be nice #Isles
— Greg Niemczyk (@Its_Just_Greg) February 19, 2016
You just figured that out?
I don't think the #Isles have figured this 3 on 3 OT out!!!

The most unsettling positive from the night.
Deserved or not, one point is better than no points. #Isles
