IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Isles fans could not have asked for a better start to the biggest road trip of the season. The team is 2-0-0 so far and have outscored their opponents 5-2 in that span. Earlier tonight they took the show to Western Canada for the first time this season for a date with the underachieving Calgary Flames. Back in late October these two teams faced off with the Islanders prevailing 4-0 in Jaroslav Halak’s second shutout of the early season. The Isles did the best they could to mimic that performance but in a lower scoring fashion with a comeback 2-1 win in overtime. Now 3-0-0 on the road trip, and 7-1-1 in the past nine with tonight’s win, the Isles are playing their best at the right time. Below is the best hits from tonight’s triumph in the Stampede City.
Here comes the Crimson Chin!
Lee got DECKED. Hopefully the Crimson Chin is alright.

That snark from Staple is gold.
#Isles controlling game in every aspect. Except for the whole goals thing.

He did play rugby if you remember?

That’s extremely descriptive.
#Isles puck management is truly a burning dirty diaper filled with week old Indian food. Let's go Gents.

And once again, nothing done.
Let's see. Another chance for officials to get instigator correct. #isles

You don’t.
So far, #Isles have looked … um … how do I say this nicely?
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) February 26, 2016
Sure, lets put it that way.
#isles look comatose

Coaching 101.
Capuano doesn't change lines after a win, but instantly changes lines during a bad period after a win. ????

Man the pitchforks.
Truth time. I secretly root for Brian Strait to do well. (ducks) runs (serpentine!) #Isles

Can you hear me now? No?
#isles skating into each other all night. Zero communication.

Expert.
#Isles have the legs of a team that had a good two nights out on the road. #HahntourageHockey

Wouldn’t it be nice…
This game would be cool if Jaro had a team in front of him. #Isles
— Billy Fitzpatrick (@BillyFitzz) February 26, 2016
Who is this Strait you speak of?
Strait with a perfect defensive position? #isles
— Michael Schuerlein (@islesblogger) February 26, 2016
This is their slogan.
Consistently inconsistent. #isles
— Alex Soti (@Ajsoti) February 26, 2016
This. (points down)
#Isles might be struggling to score, but Halak has allowed two goals in eight periods. Eight tough periods on the road too. Give him credit.
— Michael Zahn (@miczahn) February 26, 2016
Stating the obvious.
Jaro is giving us an opportunity to win this game. #Isles

Harsh yet hysterical.
I can just see @bardownhowitzer now with a blow gun, shooting poison-tipped darts at Strait on the bench. #Isles
