IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
A rare Saturday night game at home was on the card for a struggling Islanders team Saturday. What used to be a tradition to every Isles fan who lives on Long Island has become a thing of the past. But, a showdown with superstar Connor McDavid and the Oilers was a chance to go back to year’s past when Saturday night home games were special. Trying to break a two game losing streak, the Isles once again fell in the shootout 4-3. They did some good things and some bad things that hopefully won’t translate to Monday against Vancouver. The best hits from social media are here:

I'll say this, given what the #Isles have right now, Clutter with JT looks pretty good.

Maybe if Ladd didn't use Jon Sim's number he'd start scoring. #Isles
