IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Heading down to Tampa Bay, the Isles were not out of the woods just yet with the way they’ve struggled as of late. Yes, they did score three goals in their win on Wednesday, but overall they still had trouble playing a complete game. Tonight was a chance to change that as they faced the Lightning in a pivotal match-up for both teams. The Islanders were in it, and then they weren’t. They ended up on the losing side 7-4. A chance to redeem themselves will take just 24 hours as they head to Carolina. Social media recap is below.
Good company in the press box tonight: Jiggs McDonald, Denis Potvin and #Isles dynasty era trainer Ron Waske.

It is amazing to me the #Isles are still getting too many men penalties with less than 10 games to play

JT growing out his flow again. Maybe that's by design, for luck? #isles

Jesus Greiss in goal on Good Friday. Has to be a good sign right? #Isles

TBL not happy with Lee in front. Think all five guys shoved him after Bishop covered.

Coach Cooper said it would be a "barn burner" tonight. Certainly isn't a lack of emotion out on the ice. #Isles #bolts

Cappy looks like a disappointed parent watching Strome take another penalty. Awful. #Isles

Incredible shot from JB, Strome with the tip. Tied at 3 in Tampa. pic.twitter.com/nL8hs680Z9

This can be put in the rule book to demonstrate what a hooking penalty is. Was one called? Of course not. #isles pic.twitter.com/soA4BCNFMK
