IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Can you think of a bigger way to kick of the 2016-17 season that Islanders vs Rangers? No, neither can I. The Islanders swept the Blueshirts four straight games last season which was one element in such a high-profile affair. Both these teams went through major off-season changes that were be showcased tonight. Add in 19-year old Anthony Beauvillier making his NHL debut, and you knew this was going to be a memorable night. On to the game, where the Islanders couldn’t get their legs under them and fell to the Rangers 5-3. The Isles will look to rebound and pick up their first win Saturday night in Washington. The first social media recap of the season can be seen below.
Welcome back, #isles hockey.
We missed you.

Took less than two minutes for #Isles and #NYR to start pushing and shoving after whistles.

There’s Andrew Ladd’s ‘Welcome to the Metropolitan Division’ moment. Robbed by Lundqvist’s blocker on a great tip. #NYR #Isles

power play looking exactly like it did last season: bad. #isles

Well, that wasn’t too good now was it? #Isles

I feel like I might have been naive to not expect a first game, first period overreaction. #isles

y’all realize the #isles have played just 20 minutes this season?
there’s 4,900 more to go.— Tom Liodice (@TomLiodice) October 14, 2016

This power play needs some work. And perhaps Ryan Pulock. #Isles

Good thing the #Isles have 81 games left to practice the PP.

Really not sure what I’m watching with this team yet, new blood and so many guys in foreign rolls. #isles

Looking on the bright side, the penalty kill has been good. #isles
