IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After getting a win they desperately needed Monday night, the Islanders headed to the Sunshine State for a quick two game road trip which began tonight in Tampa. This is the second meeting between the Isles and Lightning in a 14-day span with the third game taking place next Monday. The Bolts embarrassed the Islanders 6-1 in their first match-up, so tonight called for redemption on the visiting side. In a must-win game, the Isles were once again pasted 4-1. They’re back in action for another playoff rematch against the Panthers Saturday. Top hits from social media below:
Goal for tonight:
Don't embarrass yourselves #isles

The disrespect that John Tavares gets from officials is absolutely mind blowing #isles

Poor clears and you know what the lightning go to is on the powerplay, how do you give Stamkos so much space? #Isles
— Scott Clinco (@ScottClinco) November 11, 2016
8 straight games the #Isles have allowed a power play goal.

Clearing the puck is like rebounding in basketball. It’s often about desire and heart. #Isles

If only cross checks were goals, Anders. #isles

PP over. Because the two minutes were up.

It's not said much but I'll say it….Tavares has to be better. #isles

We basically spent the whole 1st period on the PK… fuck. #Isles

With Tampa's 3 PPs tonight, #Isles have been shorthanded 51 times; they have had only 37 PPs

Is there an official count on the amount of times Brendan Burke has called Kulemin Kucherov?? #isles
— Tom Mascioli (@islesinfo) November 11, 2016
Remember when we used to own Tampa? That was fun. #isles

Halak went to smash his stick on boards, thought better of it with few teammates right there. Went down tunnel to destroy something instead.

It's a Ladd Ladd Ladd Ladd world! #Isles

You cannot stop Andrew Ladd, you can only hope to contain him.
— Daniel Friedman (@DanJFriedman) November 11, 2016
Apparently Ladd is as streaky as Okposo. Who knew! #isles

Annddddddd back to the box. #isles

#Isles struggle to be competitive against good teams on most nights. On nights Tavares stinks they have no shot.

#Isles have had maybe 8 good scoring chances this game. Kulemin's had maybe 7 of them.
— Arthur Staple (@StapeNewsday) November 11, 2016
It's not about chances for Capuano anymore. It's about results. #isles

Death, Taxes, Brian Boyle scoring against the #Isles

It must be the lousy ice. #isles

As an #isles fan I don't expect anything anymore.

The holes I see in this #Isles team are gaping. It's making me miserable.

Well on the bright side, the #isles Movember team raised another $150 today.

Have we come to a conclusion on this?
The #isles are:
A) bad
B) unmotivated
C) both— Kevin Schultz (@Schultz88) November 11, 2016
A 5on5 penalty kill. First ever, nice. #isles

No heart on this team I feel bad for the goaltenders #isles
