IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The panic button was in the grasp of every Islander fan after Saturday night, but with the tough stretch of 12 of 14 games on the road now over, they might be able to breathe a little easier. The games on the other hand were getting tougher and tougher including earlier tonight against a hot Philadelphia Flyers squad. The Isles were slaughtered the last time these two teams played, and for them tonight was a chance to repay the favor. That wasn’t the case as they ended up losing 4-1. They have now lost six of their last seven games. Recap can be seen below.

The Suv and the #isles will have to win without Howie and me as we have the night off. I am in the building hoping the Flyers are grounded

Huge character game for #Isles – let's see how the girls respond …

Show of hands: How many other #isles fans yelled an expletive at the TV on that power play?

Tavares has played in 500 games. I feel old. I don't want to know what 1,000 games will feel like. #isles

#Isles lead #Flyers in shots 6-0 four minutes in.

#isles look as alive as they have in weeks early.

#isles are playing like a desperate team right now. Which is a good thing, because they are.

Fans enthusiastically cheering as the #Isles announce Tavares' 500th game.

Took #Flyers 9:30 to register first SOG. Good start for #Isles tonight

Greiss is going to need a chiropractor after this period. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) March 22, 2016
#Isles entered tonight 2nd in the league in PK (85.1%). Finished 26th in the league last year (78%). That improvement makes no sense to me

No Boychuk on the PP actually hurts my brain. #isles
— New York Bootleg (@NewYorkBootleg) March 22, 2016
Greiss has been awesome. Passing on the PP has to be better.

Clutterbuck always agitating ?#isles pic.twitter.com/WgRhtkdYuK

Haha Clutterbuck doing what he does best behind the refs back #isles

Effort was good. First goal is going to be massive. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) March 22, 2016
MUCH better start than we've seen of late. Now have to keep it up. #Isles pic.twitter.com/yC5m9muMjk

Catholics believe in giving up something for Lent; #Isles have given up scoring in the first period.

No matter what happens this summer, Kyle Okoposo should always be remembered as a great Islander. #isles

#Isles playing with some urgency. What a novel concept

Light switch has been turned on. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) March 22, 2016
#Isles energy is great tonight.

Where have these #Isles been? Glad to see them back

Very Islanders…Robbed at one end, puck hits ref and let up 1st #nhl goal on other #isles pic.twitter.com/KXswqvwY1F

Gotta put that in Brock…starved for goals here #isles

When a clear icing hits ref and creates a goal against you, things are hitting rock bottom #isles

We really need Tavares to start leading us.#isles
— Bill Dietrick (@billydie) March 22, 2016
Not sure what's up with Tavares, but the spark that makes him special hasn't been seen for a few games. #Isles can't win without JT being JT
— John Kreiser (@jkreiser7713) March 22, 2016
These rebounds are why Mason’s not that great a goalie. Gotta make him pay for it at some point. #isles
— Kevin Schultz (@Schultz88) March 22, 2016
#Flyers with a 2-1 lead after two. Jack may have to address team before this third period. #Isles
— Brian Compton (@BComptonNHL) March 22, 2016
#Isles have now trailed after 40 minutes more than they've led — 30 times trailing (5-19-5), 29 times leading (25-2-2).

Damn the #Isles twitter is in full force meltdown mode…..relax!

Biggest 20 mins of the season coming up. No excuses #isles
— JMeyer (@JM_from_NJ) March 22, 2016
@NYIslanders have to figure a way to get #JohnTavares in scoring position. The captain can't seem to get free for a good shot.
— Stan Fischler (@StanFischler) March 22, 2016
Needless to say, the biggest 20 minutes of the season are here. #Isles
