IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
After two disappointing losses, the Islanders season was again on the line tonight as they headed to the City of Brotherly Love for a date with the Flyers. Doug Weight dramatized the importance of this game earlier today and hopefully it finally got through to every player in that room.
Johnny Boychuk returned to the lineup after missing the past four weeks with what seemed to be a broken foot, so the hope was that he could help spark something to a team that has seemed to lost themselves since last week.
On to the game, in a must-win or season is basically over scenario, the Isles fell apart quickly in an ugly 6-3 defeat. They have now lost three in a row. Social media recap below:

#Isles fans have to be wondering over the last 3 games especially: where's the desperation?

When Radko Gudas scores a goal, it's time to pack it in. #Isles

On a positive note, entering tonight, the #Isles had a 1.804% chance of the 1st overall pick.
They'll end the night near 3%!
