The 5 Hole: Flying One Step At a Time

A tradition that goes back a long time, the Islanders playing the night before Thanksgiving. Last night, they welcomed in the Philadelphia Flyers to Brooklyn for the first time. A win was desperately needed, and they got it by beating the Philly by a score of 3-1. Here’s the best social media hits from last nights win.
Priceless, even though it was only three minutes into the game.

FIRE EVERYONE

That’s the Okposo I know, always somehow sneaking the puck in the back of the twine.

#Isles GOAL!!!! Kyle Okposo sneaks one past Mason and the Islanders are up 2-1!!

Imagine center ice as the dinner table, and all the players are the ones being called in to eat.

Good to see the Karate Kid back at an Islander game. Long Island royalty right there.

As any Islander fan knows, this is true anytime they have a lead.

#Isles have played a very good game tonight, but the fans are waiting for that tying goal. Sweep the leg, guys.

Desperately needed to get some to come back from the ledge.
