IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
It’s been less than 24 hours, but the Panthers and Islanders were right back at it for game two earlier this evening. The Islanders took game one last night 5-4 in a exciting affair. It was not an easy game as the Isles were dreadful defensively, but the Captain John Tavares and goaltender Thomas Greiss willed the team to victory. So the Islanders had a short time to make adjustments as did Florida, and it wasn’t in the cards for the Isles tonight as they fell 3-1. The series no heads back to Brooklyn tied at one. Social media recap can be found below.

Hope the #isles D shows up. They didn't last night.

Positive: #isles haven't given up an early goal ala game 1

Panthers taking lots of liberties after whistle. #isles

Quick answer here please #isles

Pulock should just be breaking ankles and ribs and such. Don't pass up open shots if you're Pulock.

Best shift in the series so far for the #isles
— FreakOnaLeash (@Boychuk55Johnny) April 15, 2016
#isles new first line is a handful. Panthers going to have a tough series as they're currently not defending it well.
— Andy Graziano (@tazman19) April 15, 2016
God damn the #isles play like ?? when Luongo loses a stick. Is that what it takes??

#isles need to play with this intensity all game, don't take the foot off the pedal

Its only period 4 but #isles leaders on defense need to pick it up. Early struggle bus.

Another dirt bag named Wilson? Don't mess with my boy @ShanePrince18 #isles pic.twitter.com/uDHpIsdfkH

That’s some cheap crap from Wilson. #Isles

I'd put 3 bodies on Tavares too…maybe even 4 #isles

This whole failure to clear is driving me insane. #isles

Greiss playing strong once again! #Isles
— nyIJYKfan (@nyIJYKfan) April 16, 2016
#Isles dodge a bullet in the closing seconds as the #FlaPanthers top line put all kinds of pressure on and a scramble resulted in the slot.
— Brad Kurtzberg (@sealshockey) April 16, 2016
Despite the score I actually think that was a better start than last night. #Isles
— Bill von Achen (@billvonachen) April 16, 2016
#Isles looked overwhelmed last night. Not tonight.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) April 16, 2016
You can’t rely on Kulemin for offense. That speaks to issues we’ve known for some time. #Isles have enough to win this series.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) April 16, 2016
#Isles may be down 1-0, but they have looked much more confident tonight than they did last night. Keep this up and goals will come.
— Brittany (@applesiderr) April 16, 2016
Dehaan is playing his way to the press box with these turnovers. He needs to be better with the puck. #isles

Leddy skating is still the best thing to watch #isles
— YeSUV (@IslesWhiteSUV) April 16, 2016
You get the feeling Tavares can score on every shift. Has that look to him again. #Isles

I don't think 51-91-21 has spent more than 20 seconds in their own zone. Dominant. #isles

Bailey forechecks like Melo plays defense #isles
— nyIJYKfan (@nyIJYKfan) April 16, 2016
dominating this period… gotta get a goal to show for it #isles

Nelson line is brutal #Isles
— Barclay15 (@hollywood10312) April 16, 2016
#isles should just roll 3 lines
— MGH23 (@mikepac23) April 16, 2016
Bailey killed the #Isles on that shift. Dead.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) April 16, 2016
The next person who says Bailey is good in his own end is getting throat punched #isles

Good push by the #isles. Keep getting in crease. Luongo will crack.

Couple of times now tonight #Isles have passed up open shots in the slot. No bueno.

This is great you can hear everything lol #isles

There's passion from the Tavares line and passion from the 4th line. The other 2 lines need to show some as well. #Isles

The isles are two or three more guys who are willing to take a suspension away from the cup IMO.

Plenty of work to do in the 3rd…not impossible, but have to pick up the play #isles

#Isles have been dominated in the faceoff circle, winning only 38 percent of the draws so far. Brock Nelson is just 1-7 on faceoffs.
— Brad Kurtzberg (@sealshockey) April 16, 2016
Anders Lee's absence is killer to the #isles
— Noel Fogelman (@thefirstnoel19) April 16, 2016
#Isles just have to reach down deep and sell out. 4 or 5-0 is same as 3-2. Has no bearing on Sunday’s effort.

Greiss is playing strong. Can't fault him for the score now #isles
— Islanders Insight (@IslesInsight) April 16, 2016
#Isles miss Lee’s net presence badly. It was inconsistent during the season, but right now you’d take your chances.
— Jeff Capellini (@GreenLanternJet) April 16, 2016
Pulocks shot isn't worth a damn if it's always 5 feet over the cross bar. #isles

This game was all Luongo. The guy i said was the difference in the series. #isles
— Rob Del Muro (@gmen8069) April 16, 2016
Some say I can jinx shutouts just by thinking about them (I don't agree). However… Roberto Luongo has NEVER shutout the #Isles. #NHL
— Eric Hornick (@ehornick) April 16, 2016
#Isles need to sit Bailey and start Bernier on Sunday. Need a physical presence.

This is so brutal. #isles

That's 5 straight playoffs series where the #Isles earned a split of the first two games on the road.
This series needs to end differently.— IslesBlog (@IslesBlog) April 16, 2016
Welp, we got our split. Hard to beat a hot goalie. #Isles
— Joe Pantorno (@JoePantorno) April 16, 2016
You take a split to open the series at the start of the series. Go win game three. #isles
