After another tough loss Saturday and the news that Travis Hamonic will miss the next four to six weeks with a broken thumb, Isles fans were looking for any type of positive. They may have gotten that with the Vancouver Canucks in town. The Canucks have the worst record of any NHL team this season, and just like the Islanders, the team is under performing. With the Isles desperate for a win, they put together a solid sixty in a 4-2 victory. They now put their attention to the Lightning who embarrassed them six days ago. Until then, enjoy the win and check out the best from social media:
Historically, #Isles have a lot of trouble beating Ryan Miller. Let's see if they buck the trend tonight.

I thought Nelson had a particularly good period, and Pelech belongs. He’s belonged since he got hurt last year. #Isles
