IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
Still alive for the moment, the New York Islanders were in Nashville for the second matchup in a week with the Nashville Predators. These two teams met last Monday with the Isles being dominated by the Preds in a 3-1 defeat. The hope was tonight the Isles can repay the favor.
Jaroslav Halak was in goal for the third straight game as he has won his past two starts, and Anders Lee looked to continue to end the season red-hot.
In another can’t lose game, the Isles came back to win 2-1 in overtime on a Thomas Hickey goal. He keeps the Isles slim playoff hopes alive as they head into Carolina Thursday night. The social media recap can be found here:
In both of his first two games Jones has got drilled. #Isles

Nelson Bailey and Hickey are the checking line? What is Butch on? #isles

It's a shame that Hickey couldn't play on Tavares' wing #Isles

If I got a dollar for every time @brendanmburke said "Brock Nelson bumped off the puck" I'd be a very wealthy man. #soft #isles

If you feel the need to tweet about my jacket or who I'm rooting for tonight you don't know me at all. #isles

Do I keep watching this #isles game? Do we have a chance to make playoffs? Is Hickey JT's new winger? Stay tuned to 20/20

i do not care what you say: this injury ravaged #isles squad coming with this effort in a tough building against the preds is commendable.
