IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Back to back games are not usually the Islanders forte, and after coming off a tough 3-2 defeat to the Capitals last night, a win was desperately needed. Last night, it was the Devils who stood in the Isles way as their first test on the biggest road trip of the season. Jaroslav Halak answered the call, picking up the shutout in a 1-0 win in a tightly-contested, playoff style affair. The win gave the Isles three out of a possible four points as they head out West for the next five games. Isles fans can for relax the next four days, but till then check out the best via social media from last night’s huge victory.
Someone page Thomas Vanek?

The first of many last night.
Zidlicky thought he was still on the Devils with that turnover

You and every Isles fan got their wish.
HALAK going with last years mask tonight. Hope it brings last years talent. #Isles LETS GO!!

One for kicks.
#IslesTwitter that period: 4th Line outstanding, Jaro ok, Strait/Zidlicky pitiful #Isles

That’s a little dramatic don’t you think?
Every time Okposo skates the puck into the corner, a tiny piece of me dies inside #isles

He makes a good point there.
Why do #isles think they have to set up JT on every play. Shoot the puck

This was fire in every sense of the word.

Don’t make the Boych angry, you wouldn’t want to see him when he’s angry.
Was feeling good enough to two arm swing his stick, so it's not the collarbone, at least. pic.twitter.com/ouWaq481Nb

God F****** Damnit! Feel better?
I don't curse on Twitter. But that made me want to curse. #isles

The Islander standard.
1 shot in a fucking 5 minute major really? #Isles

Still one of the best when thought of last year.

Memories.
I can't believe that Kulemin once scored 30 goals in a season with the Leafs #Isles
— DIF (@hockeyguy0194) February 20, 2016
He’s KULER sometimes than I thought.
Kulemin has had a good game. One of the harder working #Isles players tonight.

Eat your heart out, Jersey.
