IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
The Islanders three game west coast trip ended Friday afternoon with a stinging 3-2 Black Friday matinee loss against the Western Conference Champion San Jose Sharks.
Nick Leddy’s 4th goal of the season with only 58 seconds left tied the game at 2-2, but just 35 seconds seconds later, Patrick Marleau’s perfect deflection off a Brett Burns pass slipped by Thomas Greiss to give San Jose their second 3-2 one goal victory against the Isles this season.
Anders Lee scored for the second straight game for New York and Thomas Greiss made 25 saves.
The Islanders return home Monday Night to host the Calgary Flames at Barclays Center.
Here is the social media recap from Friday’s 3-2 loss:
Anders Lee with his 3rd goal in the last 19:32 of game action. This goal put him in a tie for second place on the team in goals scored:

This penalty shot attempt from Joe Thornton explains why he prefers to pass the puck:
Joe Thornton gets a penalty shot, meaning he is forced to shoot the puck. Tough gig. He shoots it wide.

A perfect odd man rush finished with a perfect Joe Pavelski top shelf wrister over Greiss:

Things got “hairy” just 34 seconds later when Brett Burns’ dump in turned into a knuckle puck shot after deflecting off Calvin de Haan’s stick:

The Captain with a golden opportunity to tie the game, but missed the net … badly:
Probably would've buried it if he wasn't thinking about going to Toronto in 2018 #isles #drainthebarc pic.twitter.com/mMx3L3SkV9

The Islanders TV and radio teams were cozying next to each other during intermission:

Eighth time in 20 games the #Isles have allowed the tying or game winning goal in the final three minutes, EIGHT!
