IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Islanders were finally back home after a grueling seven game road trip. A 6-1-0 record ending with a dramatic 6-4 win Sunday at the Garden lead up to another pivotal game earlier this evening. In their way, an old foe in Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins. This was the first Penguins visit to Barclays Center, after only meeting the Isles once this season where they throttled them 5-2 back on January 2nd. Well, New York returned the favor, only this time in playoff-esk style. A 2-1 victory gave the Isles their fourth straight win, and seventh win in their past eight games. The team will look to keep there strong play going tomorrow night in Toronto. But until then, enjoy the win and check out the best hits from social media.

#Isles puck movement in the early going is the best I’ve seen in a LONG time.

Pulock and Strait had significant defensive zone time against Crosby. #isles fans can now breathe.

Brian Strait out vs Crosby is just fantastic. #capuano'd #isles

Are Jaro Halak’s pads made out of Barclays end boards? Talk about lively… #isles
— Tom Liodice (@TomLiodice) March 9, 2016
Idk what Pierre loves more, the bouncy boards at Barclays or the #isles 4th line. That's all he's talking about.

I am losing faith in Strome…#isles
— T (@Riz2525) March 9, 2016
Strome makes so many mistakes out there. It’s crazy. #Isles

Through 40 minutes, 1-1. Halak has looked sharp. Much better than Sunday at least. #Isles

Hey #isles, someone tell Brock he's allowed to knock the opponent off the puck. It's called checking. Thanks.

Lee getting mugged n bloodied in front of the net… Knocks Penguin stick out of weak hands & gets sent to box? I'd be ticked too #isles

Anders Lee, absolute BEAST in front of the net all game. Distracting Fleury to cause that goal.
— Isles Nation (@NYIslesNation) March 9, 2016
Letang took the first shot at Lee, then the two-hander. No case. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) March 9, 2016
Lee gets credit for the deflection in front. Earned it for sure.

Now you thank Garth Snow, because if Halak is gone for a while, you got someone in Greiss you can really trust. #Isles
