IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After a huge win in New Jersey Friday and four day break, the Isles took the ice tonight in the State of Hockey for a showdown with the sizzling Minnesota Wild. The two teams met within the last month with the Islanders coming out on top 5-3 in Brooklyn. Well if the Islanders were ready to hit the road for their season-defining trip, they sure showed it with the effort earlier this evening earning a 4-1 win. Another victory gave the Isles their second straight, and seven points in the last four contests. The road trip continues Thursday in Calgary. Until then, take a look at the best hits via social media from the win by the boys.
I was never good at equations, but this one I’ll always be able to get.

They’re a fourth line? (Cough) I meant to say first.
Slightly modified best first line ever comes through. 1-0, #Isles.

They don’t call it the dirty area for nothing.
Get dirty MM #isles

You don’t say….
#Isles have outscored opponents 8-0 in the first two minutes of games this season.

Sign me up for that.
Clutterbuck beating up Nino would be hilarious. #isles

With an extra sprinkle of awesomeness.
Halak with the save and then donuts. I taught him that move #isles pic.twitter.com/ls1eeMnBoo

No caption for this, and none would fit the bill.
#isles PK doing what the #1 PK in the #nhl does. Killing it. Amazing turnaround started late last year and carried over.

Not the only one, raises his hand simultaneously.
Those two young ladies in the stands behind the Wild bench. Not bad, not bad at all. The camera guy seems to like them too. #isles

NUMBAH ONE!!!!
#Isles with another kill. PK 1st in the NHL.

Makes sick pass: Check. Lead to a goal: Check.
John Tavares doing John Tavares things. Good lord. 2-0 #Isles on goal by Nielsen.
— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) February 24, 2016
Tweet of the night. Nothing will come close to it.
If Pulock was playing they would have scored on that PP twice.
— Bleuchz (@Bleuchz) February 24, 2016
For once this guy makes sense.
That's what #Isles need from Lee between now and the end of the season. That's what he's paid to do.
— Daniel Friedman (@bardownhowitzer) February 24, 2016
IT’S TRUE! HE’S SO DANISH!!!!!!!!!!!
With that goal Frans Nielsen leads the #isles in PP goals (6). @shannon_Hogan

Breathtaking. A true work of art.
Not many things better in hockey than when Leddy is gliding end to end #isles

Leddy going end to end every game. #isles pic.twitter.com/C5VIJuTOcq

You’re completely right Jim.
Credit to Greg Cronin. He deserved to get fired for a large part of last year. He adjusted. #isles
— JMeyer (@JM_from_NJ) February 24, 2016
More like a magician I would say.
JT is on tonight, looking like a wizard with that puck. #isles
— Sean Cuthbert (@HTW_Sean) February 24, 2016
Look at that flex.

Anyone remember the last one?
Best road period I’ve seen the #Isles play in a long time.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 24, 2016
Great picture.
Pretty good opening period for the boys on their road trip I'd say @NYIslanders #Isles #YESYESYES pic.twitter.com/yGOBOpLC5P
— David Boychuk (@daboych) February 24, 2016
Same expression I had till Minny scored.
This period so far. #isles pic.twitter.com/INEwsCiUgR
— New York Bootleg (@NewYorkBootleg) February 24, 2016
I’m with you Mike.
All I care to see is the unfunny Pulock jokes every PP opportunity for the #Isles.
— Michael Zahn (@miczahn) February 24, 2016
Forgot he even existed.
Bernier is having quite a game tonight. #isles
— Michael Schuerlein (@islesblogger) February 24, 2016
Only at one end of the ice most of the time will that happen.
I swear JT makes my head hurt sometimes! #isles
— Chex Lemeneux (@BabyBiird) February 24, 2016
We’re gonna be positive! Positive, positive, positive.
Last-minute brain lock aside, #Isles have played two excellent road periods. Skating, skating, skating
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 24, 2016
If you know this teams’ past, you know exactly what this guy means.
Not really looking forward to this 3rd period as an #isles fan
— Mack (@rgm304) February 24, 2016
Wise words.
#Isles better just keep collecting points. The #NJDevils worry me. #justkeepswimming
— Alan Hahn (@alanhahn) February 24, 2016
Gulps loudly.
This is a game that last years #isles team most likely loses in regulation – lets see if they've learned #closeitout
— Rob Del Muro (@gmen8069) February 24, 2016
Say what now?
Isles are 22-1-2 when leading heading into the 3rd. That can't be right #isles
— Ethan Greenberg (@TheEman22) February 24, 2016
Loved to see his reaction if he did.
Yea JT isn't missing from there. 3-1 #Isles pic.twitter.com/kZ4Yy2Rpjg

The Captain doing Captain things.
JT stays hot. Great puck movement. 3-1 #Isles

Clever play on words here.
Kyle Almosto …. Stoned #Isles
— Schark22 (@Schark22) February 24, 2016
Progress is the key to success. Zing.
Only 5nd time this ssn #isles have converted 2 PP goals; only 2nd time in a road game (11/28 in TB)
— Eric Hornick (@ehornick) February 24, 2016
What a phony!
Can see why #Isles were upset — Boychuk's stick never touched Fontaine's face. Waved right by.
— Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) February 24, 2016
Those hashtags are priceless.
