IBO Boxing Honesty and Integrity
It’s been a good start to the playoff push for the New York Islanders. They came out of the bye week Saturday afternoon and walloped the Rangers at The Garden 7-2 for their second win in a row, and first win on the road in their last eight games. They were looking to keep their strong play going as they paid a visit to Montreal for a showdown with the Canadiens.
It was another homecoming for Anthony Beauvillier, while Thomas Greiss got the call for the first of a back-to-back for the Isles. Michael Dal Colle was also looking to secure his first NHL point.
In front of a national-televised audience, the Islanders played a wild affair in a 5-4 overtime win. Thomas Greiss made a remarkable 52 saves, while John Tavares won the game in the extra session. That’s three wins in a row for New York, who are right back at it tomorrow night against New Jersey. Top hits from Isles Twitter can be found here from tonight’s victory:
Alan Quine on the top line and I’m still betting #isles over.

I was asked this Saturday and want to reiterate: I’d keep Beauvillier with Barzal and Eberle when Ladd returns. Ride them while they’re hot #Isles

Tonight also Beauvillier’s 100th career NHL contest. #Isles

If only the #isles weren't equally as good as turning over the puck in their own zone as they are at scoring. Sigh.

#Isles can someone tell Barzal he is a rookie,he continues to be the most impressive player in the NHL.Tavares/Barzal who has a better 1/2 punch

Me: Is Barzal staying?

There’s just no excusing that. It’s low IQ hockey. #Isles do it a lot in their end

Unbelievably, Barzal did not factor in Tavares’ unassisted short-handed breakaway goal. #Isles
— Jeff Capellini (@JCapWFAN) January 16, 2018
So instead of a 4-3 game, #Isles still up 4-2 and PKers are rested.

Great job in the video room by #Isles Mat Bertani. Talk about being an important cog in the game.

Nelson better buy Bertani a cup of coffee tomorrow. #Isles

Habs just need to keep putting pucks on Greiss, no rebound control and has no idea where the puck is most times. #isles

Good news: We have 4 goals
Bad news: We have 13 shots and we’re going to lose

When does Garth Snow come out of retirement to play goal for the Islanders? That must be soon..no?

Josh Bailey: Highlander
Alan Quine: Highlander 2Harsh but fair.

Through two periods (thanks to @NatStatTrick), Tavares has a 5.26 CF% at 5v5 — on for one shot for and 18 against.

The #Isles can score at least four goals a game and lose at least one player in the process in that same game. Just insane.

Is it possible to steal a game you led 4-2?
That's what the #Isles are trying to do.

If every team were as exciting offensively and hilarious defensively as the Islanders, hockey would be much more popular in America.
