IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After an embarrassing loss last night, a banged up New York Islanders club was right back on the road as they took on the same team that bombarded them last night, the Carolina Hurricanes. The Islanders have yet to beat the Hurricanes this season, allowing 20 goals in the three games they’ve faced off. New York was in desperate need of a win tonight as they still sat just one point behind Toronto for the final wild card spot. Without question, especially after last night’s debacle, tonight was the most important game of the Islanders season.
In a game they could not lose or come away with at least a point, the Isles came back from 2-0 to win the game in overtime on a John Tavares goal off a beautiful drop-pass from Josh Ho-Sang. The Isles stopped their two game losing streak and now head home for the next five of eight games. The best from social media can be found here:

I could write 1200 on the emotions I felt watching that Ladd to JHS breakaway sequence

Ladd – Strome – Ho-Sang line I can get used to. #Isles

Greiss better tonight than he was last night. That's for sure. Keeping #Isles in this one.

Yes, the schedule stinks. Yes, they're exhausted. Not sure any of that explains these incredible in-game meltdowns over last month. #Isles

Considering where he was 18 months ago — running stairs at the Coli — this is something to see from Josh Ho-Sang.
